McCall Council accepts fiscal 2024 audit finding a clean opinion
Summary
External auditors delivered an unmodified (clean) opinion on McCall’s fiscal year 2024 financial statements and compliance testing; the council voted unanimously to accept the audit and agreed staff will publish the audited statements to the state clearinghouse and Transparent Idaho site.
The McCall City Council voted unanimously to accept the fiscal year 2024 audit after auditors from Harris CPAs presented a set of three reports showing no internal control or compliance findings and an unmodified opinion on both the city’s financial statements and compliance with major federal programs.
Audit director Morgan Browning said total assets increased to about $144 million at year‑end, driven mostly by construction‑in‑progress tied to capital projects including a $4.4 million library expansion and other road projects. The auditors also reported a healthy general fund unassigned fund balance of approximately $6.3 million, which the auditor said equals about 90% of general fund annual expenditures on the comparable page of the audit.
Browning reviewed three required reports: the independent auditor’s report (clean/unmodified opinion), the report required by Government Auditing Standards (no internal control or compliance findings), and the report on compliance for major federal programs (unmodified opinion on the Economic Adjustment Assistance Program funding for downtown core construction). Council members asked clarifying questions; auditors and staff confirmed the next steps include uploading the audited financial statements to the state controller’s Transparent Idaho website and filing the single‑audit data collection forms with federal clearinghouses.
Council members praised staff work on the audit; the motion to accept the FY‑24 audit was made, seconded and passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
