Enterprise, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Enterprise has received a clean audit for Fiscal Year 2025, signaling strong financial management and accountability across city operations.
City officials announced the results during a recent City Council meeting, confirming that financial statements were accurate and met all federal and bond reporting requirements.
The audit was completed by March 31, marking a notable improvement compared to previous years and coming well ahead of the June 30 deadline. Officials said the process required coordination between several city entities, including Enterprise City Schools, the Water Works Board, the Public Library, and the Industrial Development Board.
Mayor William E. Cooper credited the city’s finance and accounting teams for their work behind the scenes.
“This audit is the result of consistent, detail-oriented work by our accounting and finance staff,” Cooper said. “Their efforts may not always be highly visible, but they are critical to our city’s stability, transparency, and credibility.”
Among the key highlights, the city’s General Fund held about 5.5 months of expenses as of September 30, 2025, exceeding recommended best practice levels. The audit also reported no findings in both financial and federal compliance reviews.
Enterprise Chief Financial Officer LeeAnn Swartz said the results reflect a team-wide commitment to accuracy and collaboration.
“Their commitment to accuracy, compliance, and collaboration made this clean audit possible,” Swartz said.
City leaders say the clean audit puts Enterprise in a strong position moving forward, especially when applying for federal grants and maintaining compliance with financial disclosure requirements. The full audit is available through the city’s finance department.
