“Two years in a row, the township’s independent auditor made recommendations that were intended to protect taxpayers,” Walsh said. The report additionally hits the town for failing to listen to its own independent auditors, who said in both 20 that the town needed to review its policies and make sure they were in keeping with state law. “For many years, Rockaway Township leaders failed to protect public funds.” “Our audit shows multiple failings by Rockaway Township, from unlawful policies and contracts to just staggering, inexcusable waste,” Walsh said in a statement.
The township has also accrued $4 million in financial liabilities thanks largely to the accumulation of unused vacation time, the report says. A report released today by Acting State Comptroller Kevin Walsh finds that Rockaway Township has been plagued by poor money management in its local government, with millions of dollars unnecessarily going towards prescription benefits and vacation leave.Īccording to the report, the Morris County township of 25,000 could have saved $4.5 million between 20, primarily by eliminating duplicate prescription benefits.
