T (808) 524-2255 F (808) 523-2090 <br /> ACCOUNTANTS I CONSULTANTS <br /> INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT <br /> To the Chair and Members of the County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> Report on the Financial Statements <br /> We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the <br /> business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the <br /> aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii (County), as of <br /> and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, <br /> which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements as listed in the table of <br /> contents. <br /> Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements <br /> Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements <br /> in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this <br /> includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the <br /> preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, <br /> whether due to fraud or error. <br /> Auditor's Responsibility <br /> Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We <br /> conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States <br /> of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing <br /> Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that <br /> we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial <br /> statements are free from material misstatement. <br /> An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and <br /> disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's <br /> judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial <br /> statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor <br /> considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial <br /> statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not <br /> for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. <br /> Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness <br /> of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by <br /> management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial <br /> statements. <br /> - 13 - <br />
