The Brazoria County Emergency Services District No. 3 (BCESD 3) was recently audited by the accounting firm of McCall, Gibson, Swedlund, Barfoot, PLLC and received a “clean audit” from the auditors. The audit opinion stated the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and major fund of the District as of December 31, 2020.

“As Executive Director of Brazoria County ESD 3, we are proud of our record in maintaining a healthy financial position as indicated by the ‘clean audit’ the District received from the auditor,” said Jeff Braun, Executive Director of BCESD 3.

Following a report by Julia McCain with McCall, Gibson, Swedlund, Barfoot, PLLC; a motion was made by BCESD 3 Commissioner Matt Glaves and seconded by BCESD 3 Commissioner Andy Bouse. There was unanimous approval for acceptance of the audit by the remaining BCESD 3 commissioners.

When the board asked if the auditor had specific concerns related to internal controls, the auditor representative said none were noted during testing. 

The audit report indicated that assets as reported had increased from 2020, and no corrective actions were recommended.

“Financial accountability and stewardship of public funds is of utmost importance to the commissioners of Brazoria County ESD 3 and the District is honored to receive a ‘clean audit’ from the district’s accounting firm,” BCESD 3 Board President Darrell Valusek.
