I ABOUT THIS REPORT This IMPACT Report is produced by the Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s Ofce as a tool to help you understand how public funds are managed and spent. Most of the information in this report is derived from the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fscal year that ended on September 30, 2021. Every County in the State of Florida is required by law to issue an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as required by Florida Statute 218.32. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is necessarily very complex. Therefore, the Ofce of the Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller has prepared this summary fnancial publication. The IMPACT Report, because of its summary nature, does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles and does not conform to governmental reporting standards. This report also includes condensed and simplifed information from the County budget and other fnancial reports.
