Since January 2017, Bauman has been presenting claims for payment of social security and other withholding from employees’ paychecks. She explained the procedure should have been in place for the last 20-years. Bauman has also implemented new procedures and forms to track county-owned capital assets.

In an unrelated issue, Bauman is working commissioners to properly define the difference between an improvement, renovation and repair and how to correctly determine the value of government buildings.
Bauman was named auditor after embattled incumbent, Stephen Brack was arrested for felony theft charges.
