Helena Receives Clean FY2025 Audit Despite Staff Turnover; Minor Internal Control Issues Flagged

The Helena City Commission voted unanimously at its March 23 meeting to accept the city's fiscal year 2025 financial and federal single audits, both of which received unmodified opinions — meaning auditors found no material misstatements and no major findings. Finance Director Danielson presented the results, noting the city was required to undergo a federal single audit because federal expenditures exceeded $1 million, driven primarily by transit funds and more than $1.4 million in Community Development Block Grants.
