Overview of Audit Results Independent Auditors Report (pgs. 1-2) Unmodified Audit Opinion (“Clean Opinion”)

Overview of Audit Results Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards (pgs. 45-49) Material Weakness: 2016-002 Accounts Payable Reconciliation – the City did not reconcile the accounts payable detail per the module to the general ledger. As a result, accounts payable and various expenses per the general ledger were overstated by $36,114 in the General Fund and $41,182 in the Water & Sewer Fund A material weakness is a deficiency in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Overview of Audit Results Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards (pgs. 45-49) Significant Deficiency: 2016-001 Cash Reconciliations – the City has numerous cash accounts that are reconciled manually. The manual process, along with inadequate review, resulted in errors that were not detected until the audit. Cash was overstated by $38,939 in the Debt Service Fund and understated by $13,014 in the General Fund A significant deficiency is a deficiency in internal control that is less severe that a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Recommendations Adopt budgets for the Water & Sewer Fund to increase overall net position and the unrestricted net position to an optimal amount of 3–6 months of operating expenses. Capitalize all governmental fixed asset purchases greater than $5,000 and utilize the capital outlay accounts to record these purchases. Reconcile ambulance revenue per the general ledger to cash receipts per the third party billing company reports on a monthly basis. Reconcile court revenue per the general ledger to the court receipts detail per the court system reports on a monthly basis. Continue to work closely with the City consultant to refine year-end closing procedures to ensure that all routine closing adjustments are posted before the audit.

Recommendations CDC EDC Closely monitor cash balances and the risk of uninsured cash. EDC Continue to refine year-end closing procedures to ensure that all routine closing adjustments are correctly posted.

Required Governance Communications Letter Miscellaneous matters discussed in this letter: Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices – Sensitive estimates – allowance for uncollectible municipal court fines and ambulance services Significant disclosures – long-term debt Difficulties encountered in performing the audit – none Corrected and uncorrected misstatements - All recommended adjustments were accepted by the City – see list at Schedule A Various immaterial uncorrected adjustments were noted – see list at Schedule B Disagreements with management – none
