 Objectives & Scope of Audit  Financial Report  Financial Highlights  Overview of Audit Results  Recommendations  Required Governance Communications Letter  Closing Remarks

 Objectives  Conduct an audit in accordance with Government Auditing Standards  Plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement  Full Scope Audit  Governmental Activities  Business-type Activities  Component Units – EDC & CDC  Each Major Fund

 Table of Contents  Independent Auditor’s Report (pgs. 1-2)  Management’s Discussion and Analysis (pgs. 3-7)  Government-Wide Financial Statements (pgs. 8-9)  Fund Financial Statements (pgs )  Notes to Financial Statements (pgs )  Required Supplemental Information (pgs )  Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Controls and Compliance (pgs )

 Full Accrual Basis: Net Position of City is $6,569,431 (pg. 8) at FYE15. Unrestricted net position of City is $780,713 (pg. 8) at FYE15. This is a decrease of $685,217 from FYE14. Overall, total net position increased by $667,955 (pg. 9) or 10%.

 There are new balances on pgs. 8 & 9 related to the implementation of the new GASB Standard #68 – Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. All cities are now required to present their net pension liability in the Utility Fund and in the Government-wide financials.  TMRS has estimated this liability to be $523,796 at FYE15. There are also expanded footnote disclosures and new required supplemental schedules related to the pension liability. The Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability on pg. 44 shows the City’s pension is 85% funded at FYE15.

 General Fund unassigned fund balances (pg. 10): $701,868 at FYE15 $582,226 at FYE14 Increase by $119,642 May be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations Represents 2 months reserves at FYE15 3 to 6 months reserve is optimal  Overall, the General Fund had a decrease in fund balances of $323,382 (pg. 12) for FYE15 because the proceeds of prior year debt issuances were utilized for capital outlays in FYE15.

 Water & Sewer Fund unrestricted net position (pg. 14): ($297,279) at FYE15 $337,659 at FYE14 Decrease of $634,496 resulted from fund expenses, issuance of new debt, and increased restricted amounts at FYE15. There is no reserves at FYE15, which may be used to meet the Fund’s ongoing obligations. 3 to 6 months reserve is optimal  Total net position increased by $240,324 (pg. 15) or 5%.

 EDC – Discretely Presented (pgs. 8-9): Total Assets - $599,337 Total Liabilities - $3,696 Total Net Position - $595,641 Total Revenues - $122,678 Total Expenses - $46,916 Net Change - increase in Net Position $75,762

 CDC – Discretely Presented (pgs. 8-9): Total Assets - $285,793 Total Liabilities - $22,444 Total Net Position - $263,349 Total Revenues - $121,791 Total Expenses - $51,482 Net Change - increase in Net Position $70,309

 Independent Auditors Report (pgs. 1-2) Unmodified Audit Opinion (“Clean Opinion”)  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 ) Material Weakness: Finding – The City’s internal control over ambulance services are not adequate to properly supervise process, including adopting realistic budgets, monitoring spending based on adopted budgets, and overseeing the billing and collections process.

 Continue to adopt budgets to increase the unassigned fund balances for the General Fund to an optimal amount of 3–6 months of operating expenses.  Continue to adopt budgets for the Water & Sewer Fund to increase the net position and the unrestricted net position to an optimal amount of 3–6 months of operating expenses.  Consider purchasing a cash reconciliation module that is compatible with the general ledger system.  Capitalize all fixed asset purchases greater than $5,000 and budget and utilize the capital outlay accounts to record only capital purchases.  The Accounts Payable Clerk should reconcile the accounts payable detail to the general ledger 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.

 EDC  Continue to refine month-end and year-end closing procedures to ensure that all routine closing adjustments are correctly posted.  Delete duplicate check #1135 in the amount of $40,948 that is still outstanding.  CDC  Continue to refine month-end and year-end closing procedures to ensure that all routine closing adjustments are correctly posted.  Date checks on the date written and utilize the accounts payable function to record payables at year end.

 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 Disagreements with management – none

 We would like to thank: Frank Baker - City Manager Jennifer Gould - City Clerk Kanita Larkins - EDC/CDC These individuals were very responsive to our audit requests and a pleasure to work with on this engagement.  Questions or Comments?
