Commissioners accept Grant County's clean FY2025 audit after review of repeat findings
Summary
Auditors gave Grant County a clean (unmodified) opinion on its FY2025 financial statements while identifying repeated control and reporting findings; commissioners accepted the audit by resolution and asked staff to continue work on outstanding items.
An audit presenter told the Grant County Commission the county received unmodified (clean) opinions on its FY2025 financial statements and the required single-audit but that several findings repeated from prior years.
"The results, the opinions are all both unmodified, which is a clean opinion," the audit presenter said, noting auditors proposed seven adjusting journal entries and recorded a restatement to equity related to the new accounting guidance on compensated absences. The presenter said repeated findings included controls over cash, grant expenditure schedules, data collection forms and budgetary compliance.
Commissioners asked questions about the audit process and staff performance. Commissioner Stevens summarized the county's progress: "There were 13 findings resolved and 6 continued and 1 new," he said, praising staff for addressing prior-year issues.
After discussion, the commission moved to accept and approve the FY2025 fiscal audit (resolution R-26-15). The motion was moved, seconded and carried unanimously.
The auditor and finance staff said they will continue follow-up work on the remaining findings and that the county's work to implement prior recommendations has reduced the number of repeat issues. The audit presentation described the COVID-19 relief programs as the major federal program tested under the single-audit procedures.
The commission recorded the acceptance of the audit as the formal action and directed staff to continue implementing corrective steps and to bring updates to future meetings.
