External auditors give Maplewood —clean' opinion on fiscal-year audit
Summary
External auditor Keith Slusser reported an unmodified independent-auditor's opinion and no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control for Maplewood's FY2023-24 audit, the council was told.
Keith Slusser, the city's external auditor, told the council on Jan. 14 that the FY2023-24 audit resulted in two clean reports: an unmodified independent-auditor's opinion and a Yellow Book report on internal controls with no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
"We have an unmodified opinion for that report," Slusser said, adding that the internal-control review similarly contained no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
Slusser described improvements in the audit process, saying electronic document exchange allowed the audit to be completed quickly and that staff provided requested materials promptly. He estimated the audit fieldwork was completed in roughly 30 days once the process was underway. He also noted that some supporting information required coordination with the county and school district and that much of the work can now be done remotely.
The auditor's brief did not prompt formal council action; council members and staff thanked the auditor and praised staff for responsiveness during the audit.
