Did you know that the city undergoes
an independent audit of its financial statements by a certified public
accountant every year? And that the audit reports are available for free public viewing 24/7 on the city's website? The audit of the Fiscal Year 2015 financials has been completed and is now available at http://www.sikeston.org/financial_and_annual_reports/index.php.
Once again, we received a "clean" or unqualified opinion on our finances. Highlights include:
- The auditor’s report expresses an unqualified opinion on the financial statements of the City of Sikeston (in other words, the auditor found no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses).
- No significant deficiencies were found in the financial statements’ compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and the requirements of the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
- No material weaknesses in internal controls were found.
- No material weaknesses in compliance with federal award programs were found.
