BACKGROUND
NGGS 159-28 requires that contracts which obligate the County to pay any sum of money in the current fiscal year contain a pre-audit certificate that must be signed by the Finance Officer. The statute allows the authority to sign the certificate to be extended to a Deputy Finance Officer that is approved to do so by the governing board. The term Deputy Finance Officer is broadly defined and not dependent on the position title. Brandy Decker and Albert Witt are the current Assistant Finance Directors in the Finance Department for Gaston County. This Board Action will authorize the Assistant Finance Director position(s) to pre-audit the availability of funds prior to the execution of County contracts.
