City manager names internal auditor

COLUMBIA, MO (June 3, 2011) - "

City Manager Mike Matthes today announced the appointment of Greg Slinkard as internal auditor for the city ofColumbia, effective July 11. Slinkard will be paid an annual salary of $60,000, in addition to other authorized employee benefits. 

"

Reporting directly to the city manager, the internal auditor is an independent appraisal function established to review the city's administrative and financial practices. Work also includes scheduled and special reviews of city operations.

"Greg has tremendous experience in the field and proven success at the state level," Matthes said. "He's done work throughoutMissouriand is an honest and honorable man."

When former internal auditor John Blattel became city finance director (interim last December and permanent in February), he continued to handle some critical auditing assignments. Matthes said that Slinkard's appointment would ease Blattel's burden. "He can scale back to having only one full-time job," Matthes said.

Slinkard's experience includes more than 30 years with the Missouri State Auditor's Office. He is retiring from his position there as audit manager. Slinkard holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and is both a certified public accountant and a certified internal auditor.

Slinkard is married with two children and currently resides in Jefferson City.
