External Audit Reports
Government financial statements are annual financial reports that present revenues collected and amounts spent. Financial statements usually include a statement of activities, and often some type of reconciliation. Cash flow statements are often included to provide relevant information about the cash receipts and cash payments of the City during the fiscal year.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR)
An Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is a set of U.S. government financial statements comprising the financial report of a state, municipal, or other governmental entity that complies with the accounting requirements promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). These reports are audited by an independent auditor using generally accepted government auditing standards. The ACFR will contain the actual results of the prior year’s financial activities. The ACFR will be comprised of three sections.
- Introductory – Guides reader through report.
- Financial – Presents the basic financial statements with notes, and the independent auditor’s report.
- Statistical – Provides additional financial and statistical data, including data about financial trends that may better inform the reader about the government’s activities.
The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), located in the Financial section of the ACFR, will provide the “high points” that may be of most interest to our citizens. The MD&A will describe the previous year’s results and key factors influencing them; shows the current financial condition; and provides an overview of likely future prospects.
