| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Board of Supervisors contracted with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL) to conduct the annual audit of the county's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. LSL has completed its work and issued its reports on December 8, 2020 as summarized below: Yolo County Audit Communication Letter (Attachment A), Yolo County Report on Internal Control (Attachment B), Yolo County Opinion Letter (Attachment C), the County Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020 with the independent auditor's opinion, are included in Attachment D.
The auditors opine that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This represents a clean (unmodified) audit opinion, which is invaluable to the users of our financial statements.
The issuance of the county's financial statements is within six months of the fiscal year end and is deemed timely according to financial reporting best practices set by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). The county's comprehensive annual financial report has been submitted to the GFOA for consideration for its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program. The County recently received its third consecutive award for excellence in Financial Reporting for the prior year CAFR for June 30, 2019 (Attachment E). The comprehensive annual financial report has been posted online and distributed to interested parties.
The external auditors are finalizing the Single Audit Report for the same fiscal year and this will be issued by the audit firm prior to the end of March 2021, and will be reported to the Board in April. Any findings related to federal grant programs will also be reported at that time. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
The Financial Oversight Committee received a status on the Yolo County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report directly from the independent auditors at its October 27, 2020 meeting and will receive a final update at the February and May 2021 meetings.
The Department of Financial Services is continuing to collaborate with the external auditor to complete the Single Audit (audit of federal funds) prior to the legal deadline of March 31, 2021. |
