Audit finds discrepancies in spending, deposits

RIVERTON — A state audit of financial records for Riverton in southwest Iowa has discovered nearly $331,000 in improper or unsupported spending and collections not deposited, according to a state report issued Thursday. The special audit was undertaken at the request of city officials alarmed about transactions processed by former city clerk Carol Jennings from January 2008 through February 2015. Online court records don’t show that Jennings has been charged with any crime.
