The Division of Local Services (DLS) visited the Town of Berkley in the latter half of 2024 to conduct a Financial Management Review. The purpose of this review was to evaluate our current practices and identify opportunities to strengthen operations, financial planning, and service delivery.
The findings and recommendations provided by DLS offer valuable guidance as Berkley continues to modernize and professionalize its financial management. Many of the items highlighted will serve as helpful targets for the coming years, particularly as we onboard a full-time Treasurer-Collector and Principal Assessor.
For reference, residents will also be able to review the 2005 Financial Management Review. Posting both reports together allows for meaningful comparison and highlights the progress the Town has made over the past two decades, as well as areas where continued improvement is encouraged.
Both the 2025 and 2005 Financial Management Reviews will be available through the Documents and Presentations section of the Town’s website.
