Polk County auditor presents clean FY2025 audit; fund balances improved
Summary
The county's external auditor reported an unmodified (clean) opinion for FY2025, said general fund revenues exceeded budget and fund balances grew, and noted no material findings on federal/state grant testing including CDBG and courthouse restoration funds.
An external auditor from Patillo, Brown & Hill presented Polk County’s annual financial statement audit for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2025, and reported a clean (unmodified) opinion.
The auditor told the commissioners that audited revenues came in stronger than budgeted, leading to an increase in the general fund balance and healthier road-and-bridge and debt-service positions. The presentation noted about $33,000,000 in general fund revenue for the year and that governmental funds ended in a positive position. The auditor also reported no question costs or findings on CDBG funds and the courthouse restoration grant testing. “We’re happy to say that there was no issues, no question costs, no disagreements with management,” the auditor said. The county accepted the audit presentation and commissioners had an opportunity to request copies and ask follow-up questions.
The audit presentation covered both financial results and internal-control testing; auditors highlighted strong internal controls for financial reporting and acknowledged working relationships with county finance staff. Copies of the audit and single-audit reports were distributed to commissioners for review.
