The City of Groveland is undergoing an independent audit of its financial statements for the year ending September 30, 2022. The audit, performed by Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC, identified a significant deficiency in internal control related to utility billing rates. Specifically, the City overcharged customers due to an error in entering tiered volume rates for three different rate codes. This issue is currently under review as part of the audit findings. The project involves reviewing and correcting the utility billing system and rate structures. This could lead to work in areas such as system analysis, data correction, and potentially software adjustments or process improvements. Contractors and service providers specializing in financial systems, utility billing, and data management may find opportunities to assist the city in resolving this issue. Early engagement could be beneficial as the city addresses these findings.
