The Corporation of the Town of Essex “is in a strong financial position,” Cynthia Swift, Lead Audit Engagement Partner of KPGM LLP, said of Essex’s 2024 financial statements.

Council adopted the 2024 audited financial statements and audited findings for the Town of Essex as presented at the July 21 meeting.

KPMG audited the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation of the Town of Essex, which comprised of the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024, of operations and accumulated surplus for the year then ended, of changes in net financial assets for the year then ended, of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes and schedules to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

KPMG issued its unmodified audit opinion. Its report indicated the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects.

She noted KPMG had the full cooperation of Essex’s management during the process.

There were no control deficiencies, which speaks highly of management and the good internal controls and processes at the Town, Swift said.

Essex’s financial assets were outlined in the report to be $106,359,710 as of December 31, up from $101,999,283 the year prior.

The only outstanding items to complete the audit was the representation letter that will be sent to her, and the final financial statements from Union Water Supply System.

There was one financial change in accounting policy this past year and that was in respect to the Union Water Supply System. That went from a government unit to a general business entity. The change, Swift said, includes instead of consolidating the Town’s proportionate share of the Union Water System, Essex is now just showing the investment in it.

Essex Free Press files show that is because in August of 2022, the four shareholder municipalities of Essex, Lakeshore, Leamington, and Kingsville approved the undertaking of the adoption of restructuring the business case into a municipal service corporation. That started in January of 2024 with the first approved budget and the transfer of operations of the system from the former board to the new municipal service corporation.

Essex CAO Kate Giurissevich thanked the Finance Department for putting this project together. She noted they spend a large amount of time on this year-end audit.

“It is no small task,” she said.

Giurissevich also spoke of the tangible capital assets, which serve the community, increased $7M at $214,685,635 from $207,295,934 in 2023.

“So, there are investments being made in the Town assets and the replacements of such,” Giurissevich added.

In addition, the Town does have strong internal controls to ensure residents’ assets are safeguarded, she commented.

  8. Здравствуйте дорогие друзья! Разберём самые актуальные — кровля для бизнес-центра. Дело в том, что: мокрые потолки — это убытки. Не хочешь проблем — вот надёжная компания: монтаж ПВХ мембраны. Лично я вижу, что коммерческие объекты нуждаются в гарантиях. Ну вот арендаторы ждут — так вот работы идут быстро. На первом этапе светлые мембраны — экономия на кондиционировании. Резюмируем: один из самых эффективных способов сохранить здание.

  9. Приветствую! На первом этапе нужно разобраться — почему течёт у стен и парапетов. По сути: большинство проблем — это плохие примыкания. Ищешь тех кто умеет — вот мастера: https://montazh-membrannoj-krovli-spb.ru. Как это работает: воронки — всё сваривается. Например труба на крыше — обрамляется мембраной — опять же вода не пройдёт. Сейчас это самый передовой — готовые элементы. Что в итоге: это отличные параметры — узлы надёжны.

  38. The Professional Fighters League comes back to the Sanford Pentagon on May 2, 2026, with a roster that leans heavily on divisional rankings alongside established Bellator-era veterans.

  39. Look, if you’re throwing money on the heavy favorites purely based on the fact that they represent Australia with a flag, you might as well light your money on fire at the UFC Perth instead.

  40. The Octagon in Perth is always an incredible atmosphere, yet if your goal is to pocket some cash, you have to pull apart the local fans’ “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” roar from the real matchup analysis.

  50. The next PFL Sioux Falls card at the Sanford Pentagon delivers a premium combination of regional standouts and weight-class veterans aiming to lock down their standing in the 2026 season.

  64. Come May 8, the ACA 203 card rolling into Tashkent provides a definitive glimpse into the top-tier, grueling style that has become the hallmark of the Absolute Championship Akhmat promotion .

  69. UFC
    The air in Tashkent’s Humo Arena this May won’t just be thick with the roar of a partisan crowd ; instead, it will be burdened by the career survival of fighters who’ve devoted their lives to chasing glory .
    ACA 203 is not simply another event on the circuit; it stands as a defining crossroads .
