FY24-25 Single Audit Results
An independent auditor, Macias, Gini & O’Connell, LLP, audited, in accordance with the auditing standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Contra Costa for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements. The independent auditor also audited the County’s compliance with the requirements in the OMB Compliance Supplement and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. In the independent auditor’s opinion, the County complied, in all materials respects, with the compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for FY23-24, as discussed below. An update is also provided for the FY22-23 Single Audit Finding 2023-001, which has since been corrected. More details are provided in the Single Audit Report attached.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - Government Auditing standards require the external auditor to obtain reasonable assurance that the general-purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. The external auditor found no instances of material misstatement.
Internal Control Over Compliance - Government Auditing Standards and OMB Circular A-133 (which is applicable to federal programs) require the external auditor to report on both compliance with and internal controls over the major federal programs carried out by the County. The external auditor found no instances of noncompliance.
