The 30-second read
Recorded outcomeThe Hampton City Council reviewed the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The city received an 'unmodified opinion'—the highest possible audit rating—though auditors noted a material weakness in internal controls regarding the Hampton City School Board. The city also reported a $12 million general fund surplus driven by higher-than-expected tax revenues and unspent budget appropriations.
