According to the audit, \u201cAuditing standards require the auditor\u2019s letter to communicate whether the financial statement presents fairly the receipts, disbursements and excess fees of the Whitley County Clerk in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The clerk\u2019s financial statement did not follow this format. However, the clerk\u2019s financial statement is fairly presented in conformity with the regulatory basis of accounting, which is an acceptable reporting methodology.\u201d Whitley County Clerk received no comments nor noncompliance notices with the audit. \u201cThe county clerk\u2019s responsibilities include collecting certain taxes, issuing licenses, maintaining county records and providing other services. The clerk\u2019s office is funded through statutory fees collected in conjunction with these duties,\u201d stated the audit report. The clerk\u2019s office collected a grand total of $7,186,844 in licenses and taxes in 2017. More specifically, according to Whitley County\u2019s report of the audit, the clerk\u2019s office collected $14,981 in marriage license sales. This is up from $14,094 from last year. The clerk\u2019s office also collected $2,858,745 in motor vehicle tangible personal property taxes and $1,126,205 in motor vehicle licenses and transfers, according to the audit. The clerk\u2019s office also collected $255,239 for fees collected for services."}
