      | The Accounting and Financial Reporting Division maintains the general ledger, prepares and files required financial reports with the State of Ohio and prepares monthly reports for various County departments. | 
 |  | 
		| The Accounts Payable Division is responsible for the timely payment of
		  all non-payroll obligations of the County. Over 160,000 payments to vendors are
		  processed through Accounts Payable annually. | 
    |  | 
		| The Payroll Division is responsible for the bi-weekly processing of payroll and benefits for the County's approximately 4,800 employees. The Auditor has contracted with Paycor for payroll calculation, check preparation, W-2 preparation and tax filing. | 
|  | 
		| The Budget and Settlement Division assists in preparation of the
		  general tax list of the County, calculates the voted and unvoted tax rates for
		  the County and the 76 political subdivisions thereof, and, once such taxes are
		  collected by and settled with the County Treasurer, distributes the tax
		  receipts to the appropriate political subdivisions and agencies within the
		  County. This Division also provides the technical staff to the County Budget
		  Commission, for which the Auditor is statutory Secretary.
