Clovis Commission accepts FY24 audit after auditors report unmodified opinion and no findings

The Clovis City Commission unanimously adopted Resolution 3296-2025 on Feb. 6, 2025, accepting the city's fiscal year 2024 audit after independent auditors reported a clean review of the books.

The audit presentation was delivered by Farley Venter of Hinkle & Landers and introduced by Finance Director Leanne Melanson. Venter told the commission the firm issued unmodified opinions on the city's financial statements and on major federal programs and found "no findings to report." Melanson said staff met the required public presentation period and thanked her finance team for the work that produced "very positive results this year."

The auditors described accounting-policy disclosures and a set of proposed adjusting entries processed during the audit. Venter said the accounting presentation was "straightforward" and the work was "very smooth this year." He also previewed federal and GASB accounting standards coming in 2025 and later and noted the city has implemented recently issued guidance.

Commissioner Jones moved approval of the resolution and Mayor Pro Tem Bryant seconded. The vote was unanimous; the mayor directed city staff to sign and file the resolution copies with the Department of Finance and Administration.

The action formally closes the city's FY24 audit cycle and allows the city to proceed with required filings and any follow-up administrative steps noted in the auditor's communications.
