The PEER Committee, in response to a citizen complaint, authorized its staff to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether a complete accounting of all Pearl River Valley Water Supply District funds expended from 1961 through 1982 could be accomplished. An accounting of this nature could not be done because of incomplete and missing accounting records and the district’s past practice of not identifying expenses incurred to provide municipal and related services to lessees.
Pearl River Valley Water Supply District is currently under a Hinds County Chancery Court order to reorganize financial management, accounting, and cost allocation procedures. PEER will perform a financial management review no earlier than the spring of 1986 to measure the district’s progress.
