Tooele County accepts external audit with unmodified opinions; one state budget finding noted
Summary
Auditors issued unmodified (clean) opinions on the county's financial statements, state compliance and federal awards; auditors reported one state compliance budget finding tied to behavioral health vendor invoices. The council accepted the audit by voice vote.
External auditor John Hatterley told the council the county's financial statements received an unmodified opinion and that auditors found no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Hatterley said the audit also produced unmodified opinions on state and federal compliance and that no federal award findings were required to be disclosed.
"That opinion is unmodified or unqualified," Hatterley said when summarizing the financial statement audit. He told the council that the single state compliance finding this year concerned a human services fund for behavioral health payments that went over budget after a late invoice was discovered. Finance staff and auditors described that as largely attributable to timing of an invoice and recommended continued budget monitoring. After brief discussion, the council moved to accept the audit and voted to accept the report by voice vote.
