The Finance Department performs the Auditor's statutory duties as Chief Fiscal
Officer of the County and consists of four divisions: Accounting and Financial
Reporting, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and Budget and Settlement.

|
The Accounting and Financial Reporting Division maintains the general ledger, prepares and files required financial reports with the State of Ohio and prepares monthly reports for various County departments.
|
|
The Accounts Payable Division is responsible for the timely payment of
all non-payroll obligations of the County. Over 300,000 payments to vendors are
processed through Accounts Payable annually.
|
The Payroll Division is responsible for the bi-weekly processing of payroll and benefits for the County's approximately 4,800 employees. The Auditor has contracted with Paycor for payroll calculation, check preparation, W-2 preparation and tax filing. This Division also is responsible for accounting for the County's Section 125 (Flex Benefits) and COBRA Plans.

The Budget and Settlement Division assists in preparation of the
general tax list of the County, calculates the voted and unvoted tax rates for
the County and the 49 political subdivisions thereof, and, once such taxes are
collected by and settled with the County Treasurer, distributes the tax
receipts to the appropriate political subdivisions and agencies within the
County. This Division also provides the technical staff to the County Budget
Commission, for which the Auditor is statutory Secretary.
