The City of North Miami is basking in the glow of a stellar financial audit for FY24, where it was revealed that not a single finding marred its fiscal review. Certified Public Accounting Firm Anthony Brunson, P.A. gave an unmodified opinion—an accountancy gold star indicating that in areas ranging from general governance to the nitty-gritty of federal grant management, North Miami's ledger books are squeaky clean, as announced in a recent press release.
Ringing in an era of fiscal pride during a City Council Meeting last Tuesday, May 27, Mayor Alix Desulme, Ed.D. celebrated this achievement saying "This zero-finding audit is the result of years of intentional effort, accountability and discipline," and he credited the success to his administration's commitment to financial stability, a tenet he's held since his term began with the fruits of their labor evident in the swollen City's reserves now over $5 million. The City's financial feat sings in harmony with the voices of council members who have also been vocal in their support for the current fiscal policies, as per the City of North Miami.
North Miami underwent thorough financial review, including checks on internal controls and compliance with major programs like the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Despite the complexity, the city finished strong, with a $3.5 million general fund surplus and a solid $21 million fund balance.
For those interested in North Miami's finances, the full audit report and city budget are available on the official website.
