Marion County Auditor Joan M. Kasotis was a recipient of the “Distinguished County Auditor” award, presented by the County Auditors’ Association of Ohio (CAAO). The award recognizes County Auditors who have completed 100 or more hours of continuing education during their current term of office.
Kasotis was recognized and received the award from CAAO President Karl Keith, Montgomery County Auditor, during the CAAO Summer Conference. In recognizing this achievement, the CAAO notes that when you consider the time commitments on County Auditors in general, it is truly an accomplishment for a County Auditor to have over 100 hours of credit.
Section 319.04 of the Ohio Revised Code requires County Auditors to complete at least 24 hours of continuing education during their current term of office.
Kasotis obtained her training in topics such as Fundamentals of Real Property Appraisal, Financial Audits, Certified Public Records Training, and two mandatory classes in ethics and substance abuse.
