Manager ’ s Message
Dear fellow Cabarrus County residents ,
Our community is strong . Nothing has proven that more than the challenges of the past year .
A successful response to the pandemic illustrates the value of investment in preparation , training and technology . Our work in the community continues . Public safety services remain necessary , often even more so with the pandemic . Schools must be built and maintained to accommodate the growing number of families in our community . The mind-clearing effects of parks and recreation services are at an all-time high . Even when the world seems to stop , important work continues .
Now , more than ever , transparency in all we do is key to public confidence . You should know how we spend and invest your tax dollars , and this report is one of the ways we make that happen .
The information in the following pages comes from financial statements in the Cabarrus County Annual Comprehensive Financial Report . We ’ ve also highlighted a few of the important initiatives from the year .
As required by North Carolina statute , this report is created in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ) and is audited by an independent certified public accounting firm . The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report can be found for review at cabarruscounty . us / comprehensivefinancialFY21 .
