What the auditors reported

Arkansas Legislative Audit examines every county and publishes what it finds. This page quotes what the auditors reported about Crittenden County, from its latest report — no verdict added in either direction. What the auditors said is the record; what to make of it is yours.

Read this first — the phrase that gets misread

Read this before reading any Arkansas audit: county and city reports carry a technical 'adverse opinion' on GAAP grounds because Arkansas law has them keep books on a simpler 'regulatory basis.' That phrase appears in every such audit in the state and signals the accounting format — not wrongdoing. A report is 'clean' or not in its findings, deficiencies, and noncompliance sections, which is what this page quotes.

The verdicts — quoted from the reports

Crittenden County FY2024 ✓ no findings reported

“During our evaluation, nothing came to our attention that would warrant disclosure in this report.”

A limited review (a “financial and compliance report”), not a full audit: the financial statements in it are unaudited.

What audits cannot tell you — the honest limits

· From the 2024 report, dated December 18, 2025. Read by machine from the report’s text; the quotes are the auditors’ words. Older reports, and the separate federal (single) audits, aren’t on this page yet.

· Arkansas alternates between full audits and limited “financial and compliance” reviews; each line says which this is.
