The Hoover City Council on September 15, 2026, approved a resolution authorizing city leaders to contact the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts for assistance in resolving issues raised by a 2024 forensic audit performed by Kroll Inc. This audit of Hoover’s finances revealed problems with understaffing in the city’s finance department, thousands of missing and destroyed financial files, claims from the IRS that the city owes over $200,000 in penalties and interest, and a $36 million fund balance overstatement. Earlier, on September 11, Kroll received two CrowdStrike partner awards at Fal.Con 2026 in Las Vegas: Global MSSP Partner of the Year and Partner MVP recognition. Previously, on September 8, Kroll assessed the effect of U.S. monetary and fiscal policies on Treasury yields, concluding that yields on long-term U.S. Treasury securities remain an appropriate proxy for the risk-free rate in its valuation work, despite comments from the Fed’s Jackson Hole Symposium and the G20 finance meeting. This follows Kroll's September 4 release of key insights from building its Cyber Resilience Act Framework, highlighting that manufacturers, importers, and distributors of hardware and software products with digital elements on the EU market must comply with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) starting September 11, 2026, even as harmonized standards are still under development.
