To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Grant County's Accounting Department
I've worked closely with Grant County's Accounting Department for more than five years in my
role with the Grant County Fairgrounds and now continue to do so in my current position at
MACC 911. During that time, I have maintained regular interaction with the department
regarding monthly financial processes and vendor payments. Since Amanda Kim assumed the
role of Chief Financial Officer, I have experienced a noticeable decline in both the quality of
service and the reliability of the department's support.
While Ms. Kim is generally courteous when she does respond, obtaining a response to emails
has often been difficult. In addition, when responses are received, there have been multiple
instances in which follow-through on commitments has not occurred.
For example, MACC 911 requires a monthly cash transfer to be completed. During several
months last year, I submitted the request after our monthly board meeting and followed up,
sometimes multiple times, yet the transfer was not processed. To ensure the transfer occurred, I
ultimately began sending the request directly to the Treasurer's Office, where it has since been
handled without issue. Additionally, our office has not received expenditure reports from the
Accounting Department in over a year.
In early February, the Accounting Office lost Joe, the accounts payable clerk. I emailed Ms. Kim
to ask to whom I should direct correspondence for voucher processing. She advised me to send
the materials directly to her. I emailed her with questions regarding vendor checks. Although
she responded, the information she provided was incorrect and unrelated to MACC 911. 1
replied to clarify the issue but received no further response.
The following week, I submitted both payroll and vendor voucher batches and again received no
response. As a result, the checks were not issued. After waiting a few more days, I followed up
again by email. Ms. Kim indicated that she had been conducting interviews for two days, had
fallen behind on email, and had not seen my message. She offered to contact my vendors to
explain that the delay was on her end. I ultimately re -sent the voucher batch to Jamie, and the
payments were processed promptly.
These issues have created unnecessary delays for our organization and for the vendors with
whom we work. Given the importance of timely and accurate financial processing between
County departments and partner agencies, I believe it is important that these concerns be
brought forward for review.
Sincerely,
Darci Homesley
