Schweich releases Jasper County Circuit Court state audit

(From State Auditor Thomas Schweich)

State Auditor Tom Schweich today released the audit of the Twenty-Ninth Judicial Circuit-Jasper County.

In the areas audited, the overall performance of this entity was Fair.

As of Dec. 31, 2012, the court held approximately $183,000 related to 257 deposed cases. The
circuit clerk does not periodically review accrued case costs owed to the court, and audit staff
noted several errors on the Justice Information System list of accrued case costs.

The circuit clerk's office prepares and submits billings for certain incarceration costs to the state,
but it lacks procedures to ensure billings are correct. Overbillings totaling $4,060 were
identified.
