The office of the County Auditors consists of an elected board of three auditors: two from the majority party and one from the minority party, elected in the same manner as the County Commissioners. The County Auditors audit, prove and adjust the accounts of all the offices of Venango County. Each year the auditors must complete an annual audit and financial report, of the prior year, which is filed with the Department of Commerce and Economic Development (DCED) in Harrisburg and available to the public.

In the course of preparing the annual report we audit all county offices. In some cases all the receipts and disbursements are audited; but in most cases where there are numerous transactions, a sampling is taken and audited. Detailed work papers are prepared and retained in audit files. Special audits are required in the case of a Department head leaving or a District Magistrate retiring or a fiduciary fund ending. These duties are performed in accordance with County Code. The County Auditors are always available to answer questions to help with better record keeping for the entire county.
