County Auditor Paul Palazzolo says the initiative is one of many to raise awareness and enhance control measures in county government.
The recent indictment of a city official in Dixon, Illinois, prompted Palazzolo to bring in a review panel to evaluate what happened and provide recommendations to county officials.
