Annual Audit Available Online
Each year, the City completes a comprehensive annual financial report, or CAFR, which is then audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. The City’s financial statements have been audited by Hochschild, Bloom & Company LLP. The objective of an annual audit is to determine if the financial statements of the City are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and to express an opinion to that fact. An unmodified (“clean”) opinion was issued by the auditors for the year ended December 31, 2018. The CAFRs for the past ten years, along with other financial information, are all available on the City’s website at www.kirksvillecity.com/finance!
