Within six months of the close of each fiscal year (June 30th), state law requires California government agencies publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These financial statements are audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Prepared by the City of Cathedral City’s Financial Services Department, these statements are prepared according to Municipal Code, Section 2.12.040. The primary financial report is referred to as the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
|
This document consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including disclosures, rests with the management of the City. To provide a reasonable basis for making those representations, City management has established a comprehensive internal control framework (checks and balances) designed to both protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP.
|
Lance Soll & Lunghard, LLP, a statewide firm of licensed certified public accountants and auditing professionals, is the independent auditor of the City’s finances. Each year, the goal of the independent audit is to provide assurance the financial statements are free of misstatement. The audit involves examining evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements for 50+ funds the City manages; assessing the accounting principles used, ensuring the legal and appropriate checks and balances are in place to minimize risk, and evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Based upon the annual audit currently in process, we anticipate the independent auditors will conclude a basis for rendering a favorable opinion of the City’s financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024.

The City continues to actively ensure we are able to provide vital community services. During periods of potential uncertainty, the City tries to mitigate economic volatility and the associated risk of an economic downturn, it is essential we have sufficient reserves in our General Fund “Savings Account” formally known as Fund Balance. As a result, under the direction of the City Council, the City’s Fund Balance (“Savings Account”) Policy establishes specific goals for our savings account:
|
|
Under the policy, the City must maintain a minimum fund balance of 33% of its annual general fund operating budget for the following purposes: (1) cash flow (50%); (2) economic uncertainties/volatility (40%); and (3) unplanned budget-related adjustments (10%). The purpose is to alleviate significant unanticipated budget shortfalls and to ensure the orderly provision of services to citizens in our community. During the closing activities for this fiscal year (2024/2025), we anticipate having a minimum fund balance of 40%+ of our annual operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025).
