The administration reported to the Assembly Budget and Finance Committee on Aug. 21 that the 2023 Annual Consolidated Report (ACR) has been completed and published, and that the city is working to finalize the remaining financial statements and the single‑audit package.
Mister Falsy, who briefed the committee, said the 2023 main ACR “is done. We finished and published that last Friday and sent that off to the workers' compensation board.” He described the milestone as a substantial step in an ongoing recovery plan and said the 2023 work took about 320 days to complete.
Why it matters: Federal and state reimbursements and certain grant draws require the municipality’s audited financial statements. Committee members noted that a Medicaid amendment for supplemental emergency medical transport reimbursement requires the municipality’s audited financials before those funds can be drawn down.
Timing and next documents: Committee discussion put the remaining detailed statements and the single audit (referred to in the meeting as the CIFA/single‑audit package) in a near‑term window. Chief Fiscal Officer (recorded in the meeting as Philip Price) told the committee those remaining documents should be published within about a month, putting the full package into the immediate timeframe and enabling the administration to pursue outstanding federal reimbursements.
Administration comments emphasized the work is not finished: the main ACR is a milestone but not the full closure of the multi‑document audit package. Officials said they expect the 2024 ACR to be completed in the first quarter of next year using an available 90‑day extension if needed.
Next steps: Administration staff said they will publish the detailed statements and the single audit soon and that the committee should expect additional updates. Officials also noted the presentation of the full audit materials will be important for bond rating considerations and federal grant draws.
All statements above were made on the public record at the Aug. 21 committee meeting and attributed to the administration’s presenters.
