ABOUT GWEN MARSHALL
The office of the Clerk & Comptroller performs a wide range of record keeping, information management, and financial management in the judicial system and county government. Because the Clerk’s duties affect the rights and property of county citizens, it is essential that the Clerk remain accountable for his or her actions. For this reason, the constitution and statutes require that the Clerk (1) be governed by statutory authority in carrying out the duties and functions of the office;(2) as auditor and custodian of county funds, is subject to state Auditor General rules and regulations, and (3) is subject to annual audits by independent audit firms.Public evaluation and scrutiny in the election process every four years also ensures Clerk accountability.The Joint Select Committee on Judicial Personnel of the Florida Legislature calculated that the Clerk\'s Office performs 926 different constitutional and statutory functions and duties (and this number does not include responsibilities required by court rule and administrative order!). The number of tasks continues to grow with changes in legislation, regulations, and reporting requirements.
