At its July 21, 2026 meeting, the Tourism Commission reviewed Baker Tilly's independent accountant's report on the room tax agreement and found documentation, invoice approval, cost allocation, and reconciliation deficiencies. The commission directed the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce to implement corrective actions and asked that future quarterly reports arrive in advance with more detail on scholarships and sponsorships. The commission also discussed bringing in Nonprofits for Numbers to help reconcile accounts and fix the process.

On July 21, 2026 the commission required the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce to send the Exhibit A quarterly room tax reports before each meeting and to add more detail showing the basis for approved scholarships and sponsorships. This came out of the Baker Tilly review and is part of tightening financial controls around tourism spending. The immediate need is better documentation and reporting, not a new purchase.
