Fieldsboro, NJ — Council President Dr. John Errigo Requests State Review of Fieldsboro’s Financial Practices
Fieldsboro Council President Dr. John J. Errigo III has formally requested that the New Jersey Division of Local Government Services review whether the Borough’s financial practices meet state requirements.
Recent communications revealed that an outside consultant billed through the Borough’s audit firm has been preparing key financial documents, while the CFO’s role has largely been limited to signing them. That same firm is then responsible for auditing its own work.
“This arrangement raises serious concerns about independence and compliance under New Jersey law,” Dr. Errigo said. “Residents deserve confidence that their tax dollars are being managed with proper oversight. I am asking the State to review this practice and provide corrective guidance if necessary.”
Dr. Errigo emphasized that transparency and accountability remain his top priorities: “Our residents deserve accountability, compliance, and transparency. That is why I will continue to take action, not just talk about it.”
I’ll keep pushing until Fieldsboro is not just barely functioning, but thriving!
