Other Matters <br /> The results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance which are required to be <br /> reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which are described in the accompanying <br /> schedule of fmdings and questioned costs as items SA2017-001 and SA2017-002. Our opinion on each <br /> major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters. <br /> The City's response to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit are described in the <br /> accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City's response was not subjected to the <br /> auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the <br /> response. <br /> Report on Internal Control Over Compliance <br /> Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over <br /> compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our <br /> audit of compliance, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with the types of <br /> requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the <br /> auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on <br /> compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in <br /> accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the <br /> effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the <br /> effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. <br /> A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over <br /> compliance does not allow management or employees,in the normal course of performing their assigned <br /> functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a <br /> federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a <br /> deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a <br /> reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal <br /> program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in <br /> internal control over compliance is a deficiency,or a combination of deficiencies,in internal control over <br /> compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material <br /> weakness in internal control over compliance,yet important enough to merit attention by those charged <br /> with governance. <br /> Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first <br /> paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over <br /> compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any <br /> deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, <br /> material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. <br /> The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our <br /> testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the <br /> Uniform Guidance.Accordingly,this report is not suitable for any other purpose. <br /> 10 <br />
