County audit returns unmodified opinion but flags bank confirmation lapse, notes utility billing error

Aug 6, 2026

Robinson Farmer Cox reported an unmodified audit opinion for FY25 but identified one county finding for failing to confirm quarterly bank balances; auditors also flagged a utility billing rate error affecting large customers that staff say has been corrected.

The full story

Aaron Hawkins, partner in charge with auditing firm Robinson Farmer Cox, told the Isle of Wight County Board of Supervisors the firm issued an unmodified opinion on the countyfinancial statements for fiscal year 2025, meaning the audited pages "can be relied upon to be materially correct," he said. Hawkins also reported one formal finding — numbered 2025-001 — because county staff did not perform the quarterly confirmations of public deposit balances required by the Virginia Treasury Board for FY25.
