The Metropolitan Commission received a clean bill of health from an independent certified public accountant and business advisory team following review of its financial statements. SB & Company LLC’s Leadership Team presented the fiscal year 2025 financial audit report and issued the Commission an Unmodified Opinion, which is the highest rating possible. The Commission was advised by the auditors that MetCom meets or exceeds all professional standards, there was no fraud discovered, no material weaknesses in the Commission’s internal processes discovered, and that they received excellent cooperation from the MetCom staff.

The Commission and its staff were recognized for its excellent fiscal controls and financial management policies and practices. They noted: clear financial objectives have been established; a good organizational structure is in place; processes are actively monitored; that there is executive integrity, ethics, and behavior; as well as effective participation by the Board in both the governance and oversight of the Commission.
