The City of Ramsey is required to undergo a certified audit, on an annual basis, of all of its funds and account groups. This audit is performed by the firm of Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A.
Incorporated into the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report are changes that are consistent with recommendations from the review for the “Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting: (Certificate) and any reporting changes required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). It is our belief that this report is again a good candidate for receipt of the Certificate and it is intended that we submit the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for review and consideration.

This presentation will be scheduled prior to the regular City Council meeting to account for time and a brief summary will be presented at the beginning of the regular City Council meeting.
