Mount Rainier receives unmodified FY2024 audit; auditors report no material weaknesses

Mitchell & Titus partners Dan Kenny and Wendolyn Yang presented the City of Mount Rainier’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, and said they issued an unmodified (clean) auditor’s opinion. "We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness," Dan Kenny told the mayor and council.

The auditors said there were no recorded or unrecorded misstatements, no significant unusual transactions, no disagreements with management, and no instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations required to be reported under government auditing standards. They also noted the firm provided certain non‑attest services (preparation of financial statements) and disclosed that management provided a representation letter.

Councilmembers thanked staff and auditors for completing the multi‑year backlog of audits; members said catching up on audits has been important for the city’s financial credibility and its ability to secure grant funding. City Manager Kamali said the city completed FY2021–FY2024 audits during his tenure and thanked staff. Auditors and council highlighted that timely audits support grant applications and fiscal transparency.

No formal action or vote was recorded on the audit presentation itself; the presentation concluded with auditors and staff acknowledging their roles in the process.
