Rosston, population 269, sits in Nevada County but is considered part of the Hope Metropolitan area.
In a Legislative Joint Auditing Committee report, dated Dec. 30, 2024, the town was found in noncompliance of state law in the offices of the Mayor and Recorder/Treasurer.
Those findings were nothing new.
In fact, Rosston seems to have repeated audit problems like a lot of small towns in Arkansas.
The latest audit shows that in 2023 street fund disbursements in Rosston exceeded budgeted appropriations by $131,360 — or 536%.
That's in noncompliance with Ark. Code Ann. 14-58-203 according to the auditors.
Other issues were found in the offices of the Mayor and Treasurer.
