A new <br /> material lessor lease executed during the fiscal year was not recorded in the County's financial statements,as well <br /> as the current year additions for lessee leases were not recorded. As a result,both lessee and lessor lease activity <br /> for the fiscal year was incomplete in the accounting records and thus audit adjustments of approximately$7.3 <br /> million were required to properly reportthe County's leasing activity in accordancewith GAAP. <br /> • 2025-002 Reporting of Accounts Payable and Related Balances <br /> Issue: During our search for unrecorded liabilities,we identified multiple vendor invoices relating to goods and <br /> services received prior to year-end that were not accrued to the appropriate fiscal year. These invoices were <br /> instead recognized in the subsequent fiscal year when processed,resulting in a misstatement of accounts payable <br /> and expenditures. As a result,audit adjustments totaling approximately$700,000 were required to properly report <br /> the County's liability for accounts payable and the related expenditures/expenses for fiscal year 2025. <br /> • 2025-003 Prior Period Adjustment <br /> Issue: We noted that the County retarded sales and use tax refund receipts after year-end as revenue,despite the <br /> related receivable and revenue having already been recognized in prior fiscal years. This resulted in duplicate <br /> recognition of revenue and thus audit adjustments were required to properly reduce outstanding receivable <br /> balances and to restate beginning fund balance of the County's General Fund to address the errors in revenue <br /> recognition that occurred in previous years. <br /> Auditor's Discussion&Analysis(AD&A) <br /> June 30,2025 <br /> 5 <br />
