N&K CPAs, Inc. <br /> ACCOUNTANTS I CONSULTANTS <br /> We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other <br /> matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal <br /> control-related matters that we identified during the audit. <br /> Required Supplementary Information <br /> Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the <br /> management's discussion and analysis (pages 17 through 27), schedule of changes in the net <br /> OPEB liability and related ratios (pages 113 through 117), schedule of contributions (OPEB) <br /> (pages 118 through 120), schedule of the County's and Department's proportionate share of the <br /> net pension liability (ERS) (page 121), schedule of the employer pension contributions (ERS) <br /> (pages 122 through 123), and schedule of changes in total pension liability (bandsmen pension) <br /> (pages 124 through 125) be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such <br /> information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial <br /> statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be <br /> an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate <br /> operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the <br /> required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of <br /> management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for <br /> consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and <br /> other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not <br /> express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures <br /> do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. <br /> Supplementary Information <br /> Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that <br /> collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. The combining and individual <br /> nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are presented for <br /> purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such <br /> information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the <br /> underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The <br /> information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic <br /> financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such <br /> information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic <br /> financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional <br /> procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund <br /> financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated, in all material <br /> respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. <br /> Other Information <br /> Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other <br /> information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic <br /> financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial <br /> statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of <br /> assurance thereon. <br /> - 15 - <br />
