We will audit the general purpose financial statements of the City of Arden Hills as of <br />and for the year ended December 31, 1999. <br /> <br />Audit Objectives <br />The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion as to whether your general purpose financial statements <br />are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our <br />audit will be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards for financial <br />audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and <br />will include tests of the accounting records of the City of Arden Hills and other procedures we consider necessary <br />to enable us to express such an opinion. If our opinion on the general purpose financial statements is other than <br />unqualified, we will fully discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete <br />the audit or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or to issue a <br />report as a result of this engagement. <br /> <br />We will also provide reports (that do not include opinions) on internal control related to the financial statements <br />and compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions or grant agreements, noncompliance with which could <br />have a material effect on the financial statements as required by Government Auditing Standards. <br /> <br />Management Responsibilities <br />Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control and for compliance with laws, <br />regulations, contracts, and agreements. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management <br />are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of the controls. The objectives of internal control are <br />to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from <br />unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorizations and <br />recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial statements in accordance with generally <br />accepted accounting principles. <br /> <br />Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us. We understand <br />that you will provide us with such information required for our audit and that you are responsible for the accuracy <br />and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their <br />application and will assist in the preparation of your financial statements, but the responsibility for the financial <br />statements remains with you. That responsibility includes the establishment and maintenance of adequate records <br />and effective internal control over financial reporting, the selection and application of accounting principles, and <br />the safeguarding of assets. <br /> <br />6t2.835.9090 .
