FY2010 Annual Audit Presentation Wermer, Rogers, Doran, & Ruzon LLC May, 2011 Committee of the Whole

Why have an audit?  The County must carry out many statutory duties – Sheriff, Coroner, Treasurer, etc.  Resources such as taxes are needed to perform these duties  What has the tax money been spent on?

Audit Basics The purpose of the County’s annual audit is  To give an opinion on the accuracy of the County’s financial statements  To determine if the County is compliant with generally accepted accounting principles and certain laws & regulations  To determine if the County is compliant with federal program requirements (single audit)

Management’s Role vs. Auditor’s Role  Financial statements are the responsibility of management (Finance Director) - NOT the auditor  Auditor’s role MUST be limited according to auditing standards (“independent”)

County Board  Oversight of County operations, including budgeting and financial reporting

Finance Department  Must have an understanding of the risks of fraud within the County, including any specific fraud risks the County has identified or account balances or transaction classes that may be susceptible to fraud.  Must maintain effective control over the budgetary process.

Finance Department  Responsible for development and implementation of procedures for initiating, authorizing, recording, processing, and reporting transactions.  Responsible for maintaining the accounting records, supporting information, and accounts involved in performing procedures for transactions.

Support for Accounting Transactions  All accounting transactions must be supported by documents that justify the information associated with the entry  Examples include: receipts, invoices, bank deposit slips, etc, depending on the type of transaction

Source documents should answer the following questions:  Where is the money coming from (revenue) - what fund?  Where is it going & why (disbursement)?  What is the amount of the transaction?  What is the date of the transaction?  Who authorized the transaction?

Source documents should answer the following questions:  Easiest if there are procedures in place that automatically result in each transaction having the required documentation.  Auditors must review source documents (usually a sample)

Other Financial Information  Accrued Receivables – What is owed to County  Accrued Payables – What the County owes to others  Capital Assets – valuation and reporting  Long-term Debt – bonds and debt certificates  Adherence to accounting standards  GFOA Certificate of Achievement

Audit Procedures  Review prior year reports, board minutes, fraud risks  Test controls  Develop audit programs  Test transaction classes – revenues, expenditures, assets, liabilities, federal grants  Prepare draft financial statements  Revise drafts, provide auditor’s report
