GEORGETOWN — Williamson County’s district judges have reappointed Julie Kiley to a second twoyear term as county auditor, according to a news release.
Kiley has served in the auditor’s office for 30 years. Before her appointment as county auditor, she worked as first assistant county auditor for 18 years, officials said.
The county auditor ensures county funds are spent and accounted for consistent with applicable laws and accounting principles, officials said.
To preserve a county auditor’s independence, he or she is appointed by the state district judges serving the county.
“The district judges are grateful for Julie Kiley’s continued service to Williamson County,” said 425th state District Court Judge Betsy Lambeth, who serves as local administrative district judge, in the release. “As county government strives to meet the many needs of our growing population, we are happy that Julie will continue her role in ensuring that we are good stewards of the public’s resources.”
Kiley is a graduate of Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and is a certified public accountant.
She is a member of the Texas Association of County Auditors, Government Finance Officers Association and the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, officials said.
She is the 2010 recipient of the Denise Linch Award from the Texas Association of County Auditors.
“Williamson County is my home, and we are in a period of rapid change driven by growth,” Kiley said in the release. “I am deeply grateful to the judges for their confidence in me as I continue as our county’s auditor. It is wonderful to work with county staff and elected officials who are so focused on serving our community.”
