Summary

County manager said Burke County’s fiscal 2023–24 audit by Thompson Price, Scott & Adams is complete; the firm's principal partner will present the audit and compliance opinions at an upcoming meeting after weather delayed the January presentation.

County manager Brian Eppley told the Board of Commissioners that Burke County’s fiscal year 2023–24 financial audit has been completed by Thompson Price, Scott & Adams and that the firm’s principal partner, Alan Thompson, will present the audit and compliance opinion letters at the next regular meeting after a weather delay.

Eppley said the county transitioned audit firms this year after roughly two decades with a different outside auditor. He described the new auditor’s work as thorough and said the audit committee — composed of the chairman, the county manager’s office and the finance office — reviewed the statements and recommendations. The audit will be formally presented by the auditor on the board’s next agenda and commissioners have the audit packet in their materials.

No formal action was taken on the audit at the pre‑agenda session; the item will remain on the regular meeting agenda for the auditor’s in‑person presentation.
