The Honorable Greg James (Wakulla) is pleased to announce the establishment of the Department of Internal Audit and the appointment of Katrina Cromwell to the newly founded position of Internal Auditor. The department will ensure that the County and Clerk’s Office are operating as effectively and efficiently as possible.

“The Department of Internal Audit was created for the purpose of enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency within our local government and its various departments,” stated James. “I am confident that as Internal Auditor, Katrina will prioritize these principles and promote their value.”
