Advisory Finance approves $65,000 for audit remediation consulting
Advisory Finance Committee · Meeting of September 10, 2026
Westborough Advisory Finance Committee unanimously approves $65,000 for audit remediation consulting. Finance Director Jonathan Steinberg detailed multiple internal control deficiencies identified in the FY2025 audit, including reconciliation delays and mismatched Treasurer/Collector and accounting-ledger records. The 6-0-0 vote transfers funds from the committee's reserve to professional services for two consulting phases: FY2026 closeout and longer-term process review.
The town is targeting December 1 for FY2026 closeout, several months ahead of the prior-year February completion.
