RECOMMENDATION

No Council action is needed on this item.

BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)

Each year the City's financial statements are audited by an outside independent auditor. The fiscal year 2021 audit is complete, the City received a clean audit opinion with no findings. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is available online at: https://www.ci.billings.mt.us/475/Budgets-Financial-Reports. The City's auditor JCCS P.C. will be at City Council to present the results of the FY 2021 audit. To help more easily navigate the ACFR, I have provided a summarized table of contents.
