Cornwell, Frideres, Maher & Associates, of Fort Dodge, released an audit report on the Fort Dodge city government for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

During that fiscal year, the city’s revenues totaled $69,931,435.

That is a 6.3 percent increase from the prior fiscal year, according to the auditors. The increase was primarily due to an increase in grants, ambulance revenue and utility revenue.

Expenses for that fiscal year total $65,759,691.

That is a 5.8 percent increase from the prior fiscal year that was attributed to increased spending on capital projects, according to the auditors.

The auditors reported three findings related to the receipt and expenditure of taxpayer funds. They address issues such as auditors preparing the financial report and deficit balance due to interfund loans and construction projects. The auditors provided city officials with recommendations to address the findings.
