Mississippi’s State Auditor Speaks In Oxford

OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI) – A small town embezzlement case, involving two city workers has put the State Auditor’s Office in the spotlight.

On Thursday, Stacey Pickering was in Oxford briefing business and political leaders about the work his office does and about that case in Ecru.

Pickering says no matter who is involved, when it comes down to it, all of the cases are worked the same.

“We are seeing, you know, quite a few number of cases from an employee standpoint, but those cases are being found out just like they would be if it was an elected official that was doing something wrong. We work cases, again from the Tennessee state line to the Gulf Coast, every county, every city, every school district, and every state agency. No one is exempt from following the law and doing what’s right,” says Pickering.

Pickering also spoke about the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the state.
