From Webb County, Tex.: A forensic audit of a sheriff's office is underway. Auditors will review financial documents to ensure proper use of taxpayer money. This process involves checking all receipts and expenditures.

An outside firm, based in San Antonio, was awarded the contract to conduct the audit. Officials believe an independent review is necessary to maintain the integrity of the process. The audit is expected to take place on-site over the coming months.

Further details about the audit and the firm conducting it are available from the source.
