Forensic audit of city finances

Commissioned and completed a comprehensive forensic audit of Yukon's city finances by North American Forensic Accounting LLC (NAFA), with lead auditor Michael Breon hired September 4, 2024. The 89-page report, released January 2025, uncovered approximately 30 years of governance failures and financial misconduct. Breon called the breakdown 'one of the worst I've ever seen.' Key findings: $185,000 diverted to the Yukon Community Support Foundation; $34,900 in vacation overpayments; $28.9 million in vendor payments made without competitive bidding; $2.8 million in lost interest from idle city funds; payroll irregularities; explicit material shared via city email; and systemic failure to investigate misconduct. The full report was released publicly. The council responded with 150+ corrective action points, reinstated an employee ethics hotline, implemented an anti-retaliation policy, and referred findings to law enforcement.

What it means: Uncovered 30 years of governance failures and financial misconduct — led to systemic reforms and accountability actions
