Lamont McClure and the Department of Fiscal Affairs announce that the results of the independent audit of Northampton County’s books for 2021 were reported to County Council at the Finance Committee meeting on July 20, 2022.

MaherDuessel, which conducted the audit, gave the County an unmodified opinion which is the best opinion a county can receive. In 2021, the General Fund took in $153.2 million in Revenue and paid out $145.3 million in Expenditures. The balance of the General Fund at the end of 2021 was $49 million in unassigned funds and $61 million in assigned/unassigned funds.

County Revenue is made up by federal and state grants (64%), County tax revenue (25.7%) and miscellaneous (10.3%).

“I want to thank the employees in the Fiscal Affairs for the exemplary job they did this past year,” says Lamont McClure. “The pandemic resulted in us receiving large amounts of additional revenue and vastly increasing the number of programs we are responsible for. Our Fiscal Affairs employees have handled all of the extra work with the upmost professionalism.”
