About the Council

The Auditor of State is responsible for ensuring that local public offices file their annual financial reports as required by the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The Hinkle System is an application developed by the Auditor of State's office to facilitate filing of certain financial statement, debt, and demographic data to the AOS, satisfying the filing requirements of the ORC and OAC. The Hinkle System increases uniformity in financial reporting, generates the statutory reports for the governor and general assembly required by ORC ยง117.38(opens in a new tab), and provides users of this information improved access and functionality. All entities required to file annually with the Auditor of State must file via the Hinkle System.
