Officials say Oklahoma County will meet Moody's filing window; county preparing a 298‑item checklist for federal audit work

A county finance representative gave a detailed update on the county's upcoming filings with Moody's and on concurrent federal audit work.

The representative said the county had about 10 days before a 60‑day deadline to submit its ACFAR to Moody's and planned to meet that deadline, coordinating a morning meeting among the chairman's office, treasurer and the finance office to finalize materials. The official explained that Moody's review time could vary—"That could be within 24 hours. It could be in a week,"—and that the county would maintain follow‑up contact to ensure Moody's received the submission.

Officials also reported that the auditor's office is working on a separate federal report tied to ARPA and that the county is assembling documentation. The finance team said it built a 298‑item internal checklist to map tasks, responsible employees and internal reviewers so the county and outside auditors can track progress. The speaker said the auditor's office will provide a timeline once it issues its final letter and that internal deadlines will be set to coordinate the auditor's review.

No vote was required on the update; the board received the briefing and asked no formal action be taken on the item at the meeting.
