As the author mentions in his thread, he has no idea how to do the job. This is increasingly common: malcontents running for what should be boring local administrative positions and then going on a dick-swinging power trip that makes a mess of everything all while playing the victim. I'd assume it eventually comes down to a real estate broker who literally doesn't know how to run an audit but none-the-less ran for auditor, being sworn in by people who NEVER INTENDED TO NOT SWEAR HIM IN, sitting in front of an excel spreadsheet, and either finding nothing or making shit up. Since the town is already audited by an external CPA firm that is fairly large and doesn't have any incentive to run cover-up for a tiny township.

I mean it's possible the guy is a douche. I didn't get that vibe from the thread, but what do I know. It's almost guaranteed that the rest of the people he's talking about are terrible though, assuming he's not making the _entire_ thing up. So I think what I'm saying is that it's at worst a wash. As for how to learn to do the job, I'd be surprised if there's not a youtube series on it. There is for every other dumb thing I look up.

    You’ve replied more in this thread than anyone, calling this guy a grifter and a douche several times and attacking others in this thread, do you have some personal stake in this? It seems like you do and all your posts make me even more suspicious of this little town’s behavior. Maybe it’s just incompetence, but I’d run an audit like I would with anything that deviates from the norm, like your posts.

I'm sure a libertarian auditor will find rampant theft on any government books - taxation being theft, after all.

  This.

The fact that they did the exact same thing to the last guy who won the election for auditor makes it less likely that they are not doing this deliberately.

  Or the city admin thinks "we hired a CPA so we don't need the local elected auditor".
