Overview
The Baker Hill Road District (BHRD) did not file its annual report for 2019. As a result, the prudential committee did not have the information necessary to adequately review and assess BHRD’s activities.
Authoritative Guidance
According to Section 4 of Chapter 41 of the Acts and Resolves of 1989, BHRD’s treasurer “shall annually render a true account of his receipts and disbursements and a report of his official acts to the prudential committee."
Reasons for Issue
BHRD’s attorney and prudential committee members told us, in emails on May 18, 2021 and September 27, 2021 respectively, that they had overlooked preparing and submitting the 2019 annual report because of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic.
Recommendation
BHRD should file its report annually with the prudential committee.
Auditee’s Response
With regard to the 2019 Annual Report, it has been approved and filed.
This occurred November 10, 2021.
Auditor’s Reply
Based on its response, BHRD is taking measures to address our concerns.
