The Duluth City Council recently accepted the Fiscal Year 2017 Audit report as presented to the Finance Committee and performed by Joel Black with Mauldin & Jenkins. Results of the audit were presented to the mayor and council on March 26. The audit report includes the city as a whole, the Downtown Development Authority, and the Urban Redevelopment Agency.

The auditor issued an unqualified or “clean” opinion of the city’s financial statements. However, the report does include two management comments related to segregation of duties and a property tax allowance for uncollectable taxes. The city council accepted the audit report as presented.
