On Wednesday, April 16th, at 5:00 PM, the Lawrence County Commission’s Audit Committee is scheduled to convene in the second-floor conference room of the Administrative Center. This meeting is open to the public, allowing community members to participate in the oversight process.
The Audit Committee, which is required by state law, consists of Commissioners alongside individuals from the public who possess expertise in accounting and related fields. This group gathers once a year to examine the audit conducted by the State of Tennessee, which encompasses the financial accounts of the County government, including those of the Lawrence County School System. This annual review is crucial for ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.
