SUMMARY

Office of Judge of Probate


Chambers County, Alabama
October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2017

The Office of Judge of Probate, Chambers County, Alabama, is responsible for various
Probate Court matters in accordance with the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 12-13-1, and is
responsible for assessing the appropriate fees and court costs for each case under the Court’s
jurisdiction in accordance with the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 12-19-90. The Judge of
Probate, an elected official, is also responsible for issuing and collecting the related fees on
certain business or professional licenses, motor vehicle licenses and special permits, drivers’
licenses, boat registrations, conservation licenses, and marriage licenses and for recording and
collecting taxes on deeds and mortgages in accordance with various provisions of the Code of
Alabama 1975. The Office is also responsible for the assessment and collection of ad
valorem taxes and casual sales and use tax. All fees and taxes collected are distributed in
accordance with prevailing statutes.

Honorable Brandy C. Easlick served as Judge of Probate during the examination period.

Exhibits 2, 9, 16 and 23 contain information on the receipts, disbursements and balances that
were collected by the Judge of Probate during the examination period. Exhibits 3 through 8,
Exhibits 10 through 15, Exhibits 17 through 22, and Exhibits 24 through 29, provide
information on the taxes that were assessed and collected by the Judge of Probate during the
examination period. Taxes were assessed based on the rates shown on Exhibit 30 for the
State, County, Boards of Education and the various municipalities. Exhibit 31 contains
information on the receipts, disbursements and balances of the Special Funds of the Judge of
Probate.

This report presents the results of an examination of the Judge of Probate and a review of
compliance by the Judge of Probate with applicable laws and regulations of the State of
Alabama in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Examiners of Public
Accounts under the authority of the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 41-5A-12, as added by
Act Number 2018-129.

Findings are numbered and reported by the examination period in which the finding originally
occurred.

18-405 A
Instances of noncompliance with state and local laws and regulations and other matters
were found during the examination as shown on the Schedule of State and Local Compliance
and Other Findings and they are summarized below.

CURRENT FINDINGS

 2017-001 relates to the failure of the Judge of Probate to ensure that all money collected is
deposited into the official bank account.

 2017-002 relates to the failure of the Judge of Probate to establish internal controls to
ensure that the transfer of money between bank accounts is authorized.

 2017-003 relates to bank accounts not being reconciled to the cashbook and the failure to
investigate and resolve any differences noted.

 2017-004 relates to the failure of the Judge of Probate to maintain a cashbook in


accordance with the minimum accounting requirements prescribed by the Chief Examiner
of Public Accounts.

Instances of noncompliance with state and local laws and regulations and other matters were
found during prior examinations as shown on the Schedule of State and Local Compliance
and Other Findings and they are summarized below. These instances relate to the period
January 15, 2013 through September 30, 2013.

PRIOR FINDINGS

 2013-001 relates to the failure of the Judge of Probate to maintain a summary of all
remittances to the various agencies for each year.

 2013-002 relates to having an incomplete returned check register.

There were errors in the distribution of collections that resulted in amounts due and overpaid.
Amounts due include amounts at the examination ending date which should have previously
been remitted to the proper agencies. These amounts result from errors in the distribution of
collections, failure to collect all costs that have been levied by a particular agency, or from
calculation errors in the distribution reports. Amounts overpaid include amounts remitted to
an agency by the Judge of Probate in excess of amounts the agency was entitled to receive.

Exhibit 1 summarizes the amounts due and overpaid by the Judge of Probate. Amounts due,
except those for interest earned, were settled at the conclusion of the examination. A refund
petition was furnished to the Judge of Probate for the amounts overpaid.

18-405 B
As reflected on Exhibit 32, the former Bookkeeper of the Judge of Probate’s office was
responsible for deposits where the amount of cash recorded on the deposit slips by the
bookkeeper, and deposited into the bank, was less than the amount of cash collected by the
clerks and verified by the bookkeeper. A letter was sent to the employee requesting
repayment in the amount of $299,861.68. At a meeting before the Chief Examiner, the
employee failed to show just cause as to why these charges should be relieved; therefore,
relief was accordingly denied as evidenced by the Order of the Chief Examiner contained in
this report. The charges remain due and unpaid and, as a result, this report will be certified to
the District Attorney for collection.

The Official was invited to discuss the results of this report at an exit conference. Also in
attendance were representatives from the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts:
Tammy D. Shelley, Audit Manager and Marian B. Hill, Examiner.

No. Finding/Noncompliance
2017-001 Finding:
The Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, require that deposits be
made intact. The Chambers County Judge of Probate has procedures relating to
monies being deposited intact into the Official’s Operating Bank Account on a
daily basis. Each individual clerk collects and receipts money for the day's
transactions. At the end of the day, each clerk retains a pre-determined amount to
be used for the next day's change fund and remits the remaining money to the
bookkeeper. The bookkeeper: (1) generates a computer deposit breakdown report
detailing each individual clerk's collections, specifically an analysis of cash,
checks and credit cards collected for the day's transactions; (2) verifies the money
collected by the individual clerks. If there are any discrepancies identified
between the amounts of cash, checks and credit cards collected by the clerk and
the amounts remitted to the bookkeeper, the bookkeeper and the clerk investigate
and correct any discrepancies; (3) combines all the individual clerks collections
for the day by cash, checks and credit cards and compares it to the deposit
breakdown report; (4) prepares the deposit slip for all cash and checks collected
by all the clerks; and (5) is responsible for taking the money to the bank to be
deposited.
Numerous instances were noted where the amount of cash recorded on the
deposit slip by the bookkeeper, and deposited into the bank, was less than the
amount of cash collected by the clerks and verified by the bookkeeper. These
amounts totaling $299,861.68 are reflected as a charge against an employee as
reflected on Exhibit 32.
Recommendation:
All money collected should be deposited intact in accordance with the Minimum
Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as prescribed by the
Chief Examiner of Public Accounts.
2017-002 Finding:
An adequate system of internal controls for the Office of Judge of Probate
requires proper controls be in place to ensure that the transfer of money between
bank accounts is properly authorized by the official. Several instances were
noted in which an employee of the Probate Office transferred a total of
$170,000.00 from the Judge of Probate’s Discretionary Fund Accounts to the
Operating Account without the knowledge or approval of the Judge of Probate.
Recommendation:
The Office of Judge of Probate should implement adequate internal controls to
ensure that the transfer of money between bank accounts is properly authorized
by the Judge of Probate.

No. Finding/Noncompliance
2017-003 Finding:
The Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, require all bank account
balances to be properly reconciled to the cashbook balances monthly and an
analysis of balances on hand to be maintained noting any differences or
reconciling items and investigating those items in a timely manner. During the
examination period, bank account balances were not reconciled to the cashbook
balances nor was an analysis of balances on hand maintained. Differences
between the cashbook and the balances on hand were not investigated nor
resolved in a timely manner.

Recommendation:
All bank account balances should be properly reconciled to the cashbook
balances on a monthly basis and an accurate analysis of balances on hand should
be maintained in accordance with the Minimum Accounting Requirements for the
Office of Judge of Probate, as prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public
Accounts, and any differences or reconciling items should be investigated
thoroughly and corrections made in a timely manner.
2017-004 Finding:
The Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, require the Judge of
Probate to maintain a cashbook summarizing all accounting activity for a month
to include all daily collections, cash over or short each day of the reporting period
and the actual bank deposit amount. The cashbook should also record
disbursement checks and transfers for the reporting period. All distribution
reports must reconcile to the collections as reflected on the cashbook before
checks are written or transfers made. The collections less the disbursements
should leave a zero balance in the cashbook except for amounts not due to be
remitted which should be identified. During the examination period, the Judge of
Probate did not maintain a cashbook summarizing all accounting activity,
therefore collections and disbursements did not reconcile.

Recommendation:
The Judge of Probate should maintain a cashbook in accordance with the
Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts.

No. Finding/Noncompliance
2013-001 Finding:
The Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, require that a summary of
all remittances to the various agencies be prepared for each year. A summary
was prepared by the Judge of Probate but was not complete and numerous entries
were incorrect.

Recommendation:
The Judge of Probate should prepare an accurate and complete summary of all
remittances to the various agencies each year in accordance with the Minimum
Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as prescribed by the
Chief Examiner of Public Accounts.
2013-002 Finding:
The Minimum Accounting Requirements for the Office of Judge of Probate, as
prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, require the maintenance of
a returned check register that reflects all returned checks, date returned, date
collected and balances of returned checks that are uncollected at the end of each
month. During the examination period, the Judge of Probate did not maintain a
complete returned check register.

Recommendation:
Returned check records should be complete and a returned check register should
be maintained in accordance with Minimum Accounting Requirements for the
Office of Judge of Probate, as prescribed by the Chief Examiner of Public
Accounts.

By Chief Amount
Examiner Unpaid Description of Amount Due

$ $ 299,861.68 All money collected by the Chambers County Judge of Probate is to be


deposited intact into the Official's Operating Bank Account on a daily
basis. Each individual clerk collects and receipts money for the day's
transactions. At the end of the day, each clerk retains a pre-determined
amount to be used for the next day's change fund and remits the
remaining money to the bookkeeper. The bookkeeper: (1) generates a
computer deposit breakdown report detailing each individual clerk's
collections, specifically an analysis of cash, checks and credit cards
collected for the day's transactions; (2) verifies the money collected by
the individual clerks. If there are any discrepancies identified between
the amounts of cash, checks and credit cards collected by the clerk
and the amounts remitted to the bookkeeper, the bookkeeper and the
clerk investigate and correct any discrepancies; (3) combines all the
individual clerks collections for the day by cash, checks and credit cards
and compares it to the deposit breakdown report; (4) prepares the
deposit slip for all cash and checks collected by all the clerks, and (5) is
responsible for taking the money to the bank to be deposited. Numerous
instances were noted where the amount of cash recorded on the deposit
slip by the bookkeeper, and deposited into the bank, was less than the
amount of cash collected by the clerks and verified by the bookkeeper.
