Plante Moran gives Utica Community Schools unmodified audit opinion for 2024-25; federal single-audit pending guidance
Summary
Plante Moran presented an unmodified opinion on UCS’s 2024-25 financial statements and commended the district’s business office; the auditors said the federal-awards single-audit report is pending final federal guidance before issuance.
Plante Moran auditors told the Utica Community Schools Board of Education on Oct. 20 that the district’s June 30, 2025 financial statements earned an unmodified opinion with no deficiencies.
"An unmodified opinion with no deficiencies was issued," Donna Hanson, partner at Plante Moran, said as she presented the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and related communications to the board. The audit work was performed in accordance with U.S. auditing standards and government auditing standards, the auditors said.
The auditors noted they could not yet issue a final report on federal awards because the federal government had not provided the compliance supplement within Michigan’s reporting period. Once the Office of Management and Budget issues the compliance supplement, Plante Moran said they expect 30 days to issue the final federal-awards audit and plan to issue an unmodified opinion on that report as well.
Assistant Superintendent for Business and Employee Services William Holbrook and board members thanked the Business Office team for its work during the audit period. The board also noted that UCS received the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International for the 13th consecutive year.
The board voted 6-0 to accept the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report as presented.
