Forensic accountant David Sawyer reported findings of questionable spending, possible preferential treatment and inadequate financial documentations concerning the Nelson Heights Community Center to the Newton County Board of Commissioners (BOC). These findings, which were shown to the commissioners for the first time during a special called meeting Wednesday at the Newton County Historic Courthouse, is the first phase of a process that will look at the county’s areas of financial risks, Sawyer said, and bring up questions “that need to be asked to shed light on the finances of the county.”
