The Accounting Division performs the County’s central accounting function including: financial analysis, fiscal reporting and preparation for external audit; all in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, federal and state laws, administrative rules, County Ordinances and grant regulations. In addition, the area prepares the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and the Single Audit report of federal and state awards and provides technical assistance to other departments.

Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) 

Milwaukee County's Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) provide a detailed and transparent look at the County’s annual financial performance over the prior year. The report outlines the sources of County revenues, how funds were spent across key services like public safety, transit, and health and human services, and assesses the County’s overall financial health.

Prepared in accordance with national accounting standards and audited by an independent firm, the ACFR helps ensure accountability to taxpayers and policymakers. It also includes long-term financial trends and key performance metrics to help guide future planning and decision-making.

Single Audit Reports

Each year, Milwaukee County undergoes an independent review called the Single Audit Report. This audit checks how the County spends federal and state grants—verifying that funds are used correctly, reported accurately, and comply with required laws and guidelines. The audit includes a detailed schedule of grant expenditures and an assessment of our internal controls. These reviews help ensure transparency, accountability, and continued trust in our public finance processes.
