Oversight Ad Hoc August 24, 2026

The Greenville County Oversight Ad Hoc Committee met on August 24, 2026, to discuss the initiation of an independent forensic audit covering six consecutive fiscal years from July 2019 to June 2025. The audit aims to provide a thorough review of the county's financial operations and budgetary functions, particularly in light of an upcoming county administrator transition. Committee members debated the scope, cost, and purpose of the audit, clarifying that it is intended to verify adherence to county policies and accounting standards rather than to investigate fraud specifically. The committee acknowledged the need to define audit parameters in future meetings and discussed procurement considerations, including whether to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) and how to set budget expectations. The resolution to authorize the forensic audit was approved and forwarded to the full Greenville County Council for further consideration and potential amendment.
