There were several
financial red flags in the Rita Crundwell case which is the foundation of Dixon's lawsuit against
an accounting firm.
The City of Dixon accuses its
accounting firm, Clifton Larson Allen, of negligence as Crundwell stole
millions of dollars from the city.
The lawsuit claims the
firm knew about the secret accounts as early as 2010.
Crundwell admitted to
stealing $53 million from taxpayers.
She made up fake
invoices from the state and then wrote checks to pay them off. Some of the fake
invoices had errors like misspellings and no state logo, which the city
believes should have been a concern for the accounting firm.
"It's
hard to understand how that could go on so long, so much money missing and
someone not know why," Dixon
resident Tom Murray said.
The
firm claims they advised various city officials in writing on multiple
occasions.
A
hearing for the case is scheduled for March 15th.
