In this episode of the Iowa Pulse Podcast, we break down the Madison County 2024 audit report and the major issues flagged by state auditors.

The report points to significant financial and administrative problems, including the felony arrest of the county treasurer, undeposited funds, missing bank reconciliations, unreliable records, and 26 findings of concern. Ten of those findings were repeated from prior years.

We look at what the audit says, why the State Auditor issued a qualified opinion, and what these findings could mean for Madison County taxpayers and local government oversight.
