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 Departments 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 GARS, which consisted of inquiries of <br />management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for <br />consistency with managements 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 GRAS. 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 />
