Weatherford council accepts FY2025 audit; auditors report clean opinions
Summary
The Weatherford City Council unanimously accepted the city's FY2025 annual and single-audit reports after auditors from Pattillo Brown and Hill LLP issued unmodified (clean) opinions and reported no findings; the reports will be posted online.
The Weatherford City Council voted to accept the city's annual comprehensive financial report and the single-audit report for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2025.
Don Brooks, the city's assistant city manager and chief financial officer, told the council the complete audit package had been placed at each member's seat and would be posted on the city website the morning after acceptance. "The finance department's very pleased to present the final audit reports for the fiscal year ending 09/30/2025," Brooks said.
Clayton Rogers, audit manager with Pattillo Brown and Hill LLP, told the council the firm rendered two unmodified opinions: one on the financial statements and a second, single-audit opinion related to federal compliance for programs that triggered a compliance review. "We were able to render what's called an unmodified opinion or a clean opinion," Rogers said, adding that the single-audit review (triggered by federal expenditures over $1,000,000, including funds from the Texas Water Development Board) also resulted in an unmodified opinion.
Rogers said the audit team found no significant control issues or other reportable findings. "There were none of those bad things that might have come up," he said, noting the city's finance staff prepared the report internally and that staff processes provided useful, year-round financial information.
Councilmember Heidi Wilder moved to accept the reports, and Luke Williams seconded. The council voted to accept the annual financial report and the single audit; the city will post the documents online as noted by staff.
Why it matters: An unmodified opinion indicates auditors found the city's financial statements materially correct under applicable accounting principles and that the programs reviewed for federal compliance met the requirements covered by the audit procedures. City staff said the result reflects sustained attention to financial controls and reporting.
