Is it accounted for? What the auditors say

The City of Donna’s 2025 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents the city’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30 2025. An independent audit by JGV CPA Firm PLLC gave clean (unmodified) opinions on the governmental activities and most major funds, but issued qualified opinions for the business‑type activities and the Water and Sewer Fund because the auditor could not verify the accounting for amounts recorded under a 60‑month contract. The report also notes that the city adopted GASB Statement 101 (Compensated Absences) for this year.
