All expenditures of the City of Wilmington are prepared and monitored by the Auditor’s Office. Additionally, the payroll of the City is processed, prepared and monitored by the Auditor’s Office. The City maintains its accounts, appropriations and other financial records in accordance with the procedures established and prescribed by the Auditor of State. City receipts and expenditures are compiled on a cash basis, pursuant to account procedures prescribed by the Auditor of State which are generally applicable to all Ohio political subdivisions. Beginning with calendar year 1987, the records of these cash receipts and expenditures have been converted annually for audit purposes to a modified accrual basis of accounting. These accounting procedures conform to generally accepted accounting principles as recommended by the Governmental Accounting Standard Board. Those recommendations provide for a full accrual basis of accounting for the general fund, capital improvement fund, all special revenue funds, the debt service fund and all other funds, and for the preparation for each fund balance sheet, statements of revenues and expenditures, and statements showing changes in fund balances.

The most recent examination of the City’s accounts and records of the Auditor was completed through December 31, 2018.
