A clean opinion indicates that the District's financial books are in order, that the annual report fairly presents the city's financials, and that the results of the city's fiscal year operations are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The District's fiscal year is from October 1 to September 30. The ACFR must be issued by February 1 following the end of a fiscal year.
