PRESS RELEASE

A recent audit of the City of White Settlement’s financial records received the highest level of assurance.  The City’s external auditors, George, Morgan & Sneed, P.C., gave the City an unqualified (“clean”) opinion for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

The City’s Annual Financial Report will be presented to the City Council on May 24th by the Auditors.  The Financial Report is available for review at the White Settlement Public Library or online at the City’s website: www.wstx.us.

The Audit is an important tool to ensure transparency and maintain the general public’s trust and confidence that city resources are being used effectively and efficiently.  Audits provide an independent review of city programs, policies and functions in order to help management perform more efficiently; examine financial reports, various records and procedures to determine compliance with applicable ordinances, regulations, policies and contractual provisions; and evaluate the City’s internal control structure to ensure that City assets are properly safeguarded.

In addition the Finance Department was once again awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 24th consecutive year for their 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).  In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government has to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR that satisfies both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
