Mercer County audit issues clean opinion, flags one finding on expenditures
Summary
Wipfli reported a clean 'unmodified' opinion on Mercer County's FY2025 financial statements but identified one finding that expenditures exceeded appropriations; the audit also noted a $625,000 restatement tied to GASB 101 and remaining CSLFRF (ARPA) funds.
Wipfli Senior Manager Josh Faivre presented Mercer County's FY2025 audit to the Finance Committee on Aug. 3, 2026, reporting an independent auditor's "clean "unmodified" opinion" on the county's basic financial statements and a clean opinion for compliance with the U.S. Department of Treasury's CSLFRF (ARPA) requirements. The auditor also disclosed one finding for expenditures exceeding appropriations.
Faivre said the county implemented GASB Statements No. 101 and 102 in FY25, prompting a restatement that decreased net position by $625,000. He told the committee that the county had $11.9 million in cash as of Nov. 30, 2025, noted $791,000 of capital asset additions in 2025, and reported $81,000 of principal paid on long-term debt for the year. The slides also showed $829,000 of CSLFRF funds spent and recorded as revenue and $424,000 remaining to be spent. The auditor did not provide additional remediation steps in the presentation; committee members may follow up when the report is considered by the full board.
