Another instance of sound judgment.  Every change of Treasurer should be accompanied by an audit. 

In Barkhuis' case, I can see why she'd want the audit done before her departure  --  she's been lynched before by the County in-crowd.  But if she didn't do a forensic audit on her way out, the new Treasurer would be remiss not to do a baseline audit upon arriving.

Given the startling absence of basic internal-controls procedures in County operations, I assume this has not previously been standard practice.  But I hope Ms Barkhuis is establishing a precedent that will be followed in future.
