SAPULPA — A recent statutory review of the Creek County Treasurer’s Office found no exceptions, according to a report released by the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector.
The report, dated March 2026, reviewed financial procedures and records for the county treasurer as of Dec. 31, 2025. The engagement was conducted in accordance with state statute and was limited in scope compared to a full financial audit.
According to the report, auditors examined whether bank reconciliations were properly performed, verified certificates of deposit and confirmed investments. They also reviewed whether subsidiary records were properly reconciled with the general ledger and whether deposits and invested funds were secured by pledged collateral.
Based on those procedures, the State Auditor and Inspector’s Office reported no findings or exceptions.
The report emphasizes that the review was not conducted under generally accepted auditing standards and does not include an opinion on the county’s overall financial statements. Instead, it was designed to ensure compliance with specific statutory requirements.
Creek County Treasurer Rick Engleman is listed as the official responsible for the financial records examined in the report.
State Auditor and Inspector Cindy Byrd said the purpose of the office’s work is to promote accountability and fiscal integrity in state and local government.
The report is considered a public record and is available through the State Auditor and Inspector’s Office.
