Chris and Audra break down key findings, including errors in mileage reimbursements, late airfare bookings, missing approval signatures, and improper use of purchasing cards. They also discuss how Aging and Adult Services is implementing the recommended improvements and why these changes matter for accountability and responsible use of taxpayer dollars.
