Financial Reports

SacSewer takes great pride in our financial stability and ongoing commitment to wise financial management, which is critical to our success. 

We know that a strong financial position conserves our ratepayers’ dollars and ensures we can continue providing high-quality service for years to come.

 

Many of our reports reflect the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30.

Annual Budgets

Each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), SacSewer develops an annual budget that is the financial and operating plan for providing customers with services in a responsive, fiscally prudent, and environmentally responsible manner.

Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports

The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is a thorough and detailed presentation of SacSewer’s financial condition. It reports on activities and balances for each fiscal year.

The report complies with the accounting requirements set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Each report is “audited” by an external American Institute of Certified Public Accountants certified accounting firm utilizing Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements.

Single Audits

A Single Audit, also known as the OMB Circular A-133, is an organization-wide examination of any entity that spends $500,000 or more in Federal grants each year.

The Single Audit’s objective is to provide assurance that Federal grant money is being managed properly. Below are the Single Audits that SacSewer has received in the years that $500,000 or more of Federal grant money was expended.
