Sarpy County accepts FY2024 audit; independent auditor issues unmodified opinion
Summary
Hayes & Associates presented the Sarpy County audit for the year ended June 30, 2024; auditors issued an unmodified opinion and reported no material concerns in internal controls or federal program compliance for audited programs.
The Sarpy County Board accepted the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, after a presentation by Dan Tlaikas, county CFO, and Austin Henke of Hayes & Associates. The county received an unmodified (clean) opinion from the independent auditor.
Dan Tlaikas thanked fiscal‑office staff and said the 70‑page audit — including management’s discussion and analysis and extensive footnotes — is available on the county website. Austin Henke summarized the audit scope, noting Hayes & Associates examined Sarpy County’s financial statements, internal control matters and selected federal programs: the ARPA funds and the child support enforcement program were audited for compliance as major programs.
Henke told commissioners that, after testing and adjustments made during the audit process, the firm found the statements present fairly in all material respects and that there were no reportable findings requiring public disclosure in the audit report. Commissioners asked about internal controls and whether they should request deeper periodic reviews; Henke recommended continuing the audit committee’s internal audit process and offered to attend quarterly audit‑committee meetings to help highlight trend areas.
The board approved the audit report by motion (moved by Commissioner Kelly Burmeister, seconded by Commissioner Warren Mixon) with a recorded vote of 5‑0.
Commissioners praised county fiscal staff for their work on the audit and asked staff to continue proactive internal control and audit‑committee oversight.
