Independent auditors give Brentwood a clean opinion, report no material weaknesses
Summary
Baker Tilly presented Brentwood’s annual audit with a clean (unmodified) opinion, no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified, and a favorable single-audit report for federal ARPA-funded water/wastewater work, the auditors told the commission.
Auditors from Baker Tilly presented the results of the city’s annual audit during the meeting, reporting a clean (unmodified) opinion and no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control.
Ken Youngstead and Julie Evans of Baker Tilly described their audit approach, highlighting focus areas such as revenue recognition, pension and OPEB liabilities, and federal grant compliance. The auditors said the fiscal year was "quiet" for changes in accounting standards and that their procedures did not identify any findings that rise to the level of a material weakness.
The auditors also reviewed the single-audit work on federal grant programs and reported no questioned costs on the ARPA-funded water and wastewater program that served as the major federal program this year. Baker Tilly noted required supplementary information, pension and OPEB calculations, and statistical schedules are included in the 160-page report delivered to commissioners.
Commissioners thanked staff for responsiveness and timely documentation; staff said the city’s financial teams worked late into the night during the audit and that the clean opinion reflects the city’s record-keeping and internal processes. The auditors invited questions about the report and confirmed there were no significant audit adjustments.
