AUDIT SUMMARY

 

We have audited the basic financial statements of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (Partnership) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and issued our report thereon, dated June 1, 2025.  Our report, included in the Partnership’s Annual Report, is available at the Auditor of Public Accounts’ website at www.apa.virginia.gov and at the Partnership’s website at www.vedp.org.  Our audit of the Partnership found:

 

• • the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects; and

 

• • three matters involving internal control and its operation requiring management’s attention, that also represent instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards; however, we do not consider the matters to be material weaknesses.

 

In the section titled “Internal Control and Compliance Findings and Recommendations” we have included our assessment of the conditions and causes resulting in the internal control and compliance findings identified through our audit as well as recommendations for addressing those findings.  Our assessment does not remove management’s responsibility to perform a thorough assessment of the conditions and causes of the findings and develop and appropriately implement adequate corrective actions to resolve the findings as required by the Department of Accounts in Section 10205 – Agency Response to APA Audit of the Commonwealth Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual.  Those corrective actions may include additional items beyond our recommendations.
