Summary

Blankenship CPA Group completed the city’s FY 2024 audit, filed by the December 31 deadline; auditors reported no internal control deficiencies and issued an unmodified compliance opinion on major federal programs. The council voted to accept the audit report.

Cookeville City Council on Jan. 16 accepted the fiscal year 2024 audit report prepared by Blankenship CPA Group. City staff said the audit was filed with the state controller by the Dec. 31 deadline and the auditors had no reportable internal control deficiencies.

Staff summarized key audit communications: no internal control deficiencies requiring reporting under auditing standards were identified; there were no disagreements with management that could significantly affect the financial statements; and the audit noted the financial statement presentation impact of the new energy department. Because the city’s federal funding reached the single-audit threshold in FY 2024, a single-audit was performed; auditors issued an unmodified opinion on compliance for major federal programs and identified no deficiencies in internal controls over compliance.

City staff recommended acceptance of the report. The council voted 5–0 to accept the audit.
