Saline County adopts 2025 audited financial statements; single-audit threshold, ARPA spending noted
Summary
Auditor Alex Larson told commissioners the county’s 2025 financials received an unmodified opinion; the commission approved the statements and accepted the single-audit report noting $1.5 million in expenditures, including $300,000 in ARPA funds.
The Saline County Board of Commissioners voted May 19 to adopt the county’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025.
Deputy County Administrator Hannah Bet introduced Alex Larson of Lindbergh Vogel Pierce Harris, who told commissioners the audit was completed last week and the firm issued “an unmodified opinion on the regulatory basis of accounting for the 2025 audited financials.” Larson said the county expended $1,500,000 in federal-award programs in 2025, which triggered a single-audit review; that total included $300,000 in ARPA funds and the WIC program was also reviewed.
Larson said auditors did not note any noncompliance or internal-control deficiencies during the single-audit testing. He told the commission that for 2026 the single-audit threshold remains $1,000,000 and estimated there is about an 80% chance the county will exceed that threshold based on typical grant flows and storm-related reimbursements.
Commissioner (Speaker 4) moved to approve RFA 20 26-59 to adopt the audited financial statements as presented. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
