(Winterset, IA) — State auditors say they found several issues with financial records while inside the Madison County government offices.
State Auditor Rob Sand says that includes missing checks totaling more than $221,000 sitting in the Treasurer’s Office, with no proof of where $84,000 of that amount originated.
The audit included transactions made during the tenure of former Madison County Treasurer Amanda DeVos, who was arrested in 2025.
De Vos is charged with theft, felonious misconduct in office, and fraud, and her trial is set for September. The State Auditor’s Office could not verify the accuracy of the county’s financials because it failed to perform bank reconciliations during Fiscal Years 2023-24.
