The city budget and the audits

Three accounts, one fiscal year, and why a late audit costs Ashburn money.

Where these facts come from

FY2025 adopted budget $8,370,698 (General Fund $5,262,653; Water & Sewer $1,907,440; Gas $1,200,605). FY2027 adopted July 2, 2026, and FY2026 adopted July 3, 2025 (insurance up 24.8% that year); totals for both aren't posted online. Latest audit online: FY2020, released April 2021, clean opinion with 11 bookkeeping findings. The state listed later audits as "not received"; the January 2026 comprehensive plan says the city is out of compliance, which blocks Qualified Local Government status. Open Records requests go to the city clerk; the city has three business days to respond. Plan commitments 7.3 and 7.6.
