The County Manager did not provide an appropriate "tone at the top" to staff throughout Greene County by instructing a department head to inappropriately ask a vendor to alter an invoice date. In addition, the County has been unable to properly maintain its accounting records and prepare its financial statements timely resulting in delayed audit reports. Finally, County employees spent $95,660 on credit card transactions without adequate supporting documentation or proper review and approval.
