The finances of the City of Rogersville are regularly audited by an independent agency to ensure proper financial conduct by the city government. As of spring 2020, the most recent publicly available audit report was for the year ended June 30, 2017. The audit listed a potential concern with segregation of duties citing "because of a limited number of available personnel, it is not always possible to adequately segregate certain incompatible duties so that no one employee has access to both physical assets and the related accounting records, or to all phases of a transaction". The City responded to this finding citing it "believes that at this time, adding staff or implementing additional procedures is not cost justified, nor would it meaningfully improve this finding".
