INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ 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 
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council 
City of El Mirage, Arizona 
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United 
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government 
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial 
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the 
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of El Mirage, Arizona, as of and for the year 
ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively 
comprise the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report 
thereon dated November 23, 2022.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting  
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of El 
Mirage, Arizona’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for 
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of 
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s internal control. Accordingly, we 
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s internal 
control. 
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow 
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to 
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a 
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable 
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented 
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a 
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet 
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph 
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be 
material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit, we 
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. 
However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been 
identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s 
financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance 
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance 
with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, 
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and 
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances 
of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing 
Standards. 
Purpose of this Report 
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and 
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit 
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s 
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other 
purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM 
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM 
GUIDANCE 
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council 
City of El Mirage, Arizona 
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program 
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program 
We have audited City of El Mirage, Arizona’s compliance with the types of compliance 
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and 
material effect on each of the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s major federal programs for the year 
ended June 30, 2022. The City of El Mirage, Arizona’s major federal program is identified in the 
summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned 
costs. 
In our opinion, the City of El Mirage, Arizona, complied, in all material respects, with the types of 
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its 
major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2022. 
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program 
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally 
accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained 
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and 
the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 
(Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are 
further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our 
report. 
We are required to be independent of City of El Mirage and to meet our other ethical 
responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We 
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a 
legal determination of City of El Mirage’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred 
to above. 
Tempe  •  Scottsdale  •  Casa Grande       www.hhcpa.com

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance 
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the 
design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the 
requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant 
agreements applicable to City of El Mirage’s federal programs. 
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with 
the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and 
express an opinion on City of El Mirage’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable 
assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a 
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 
Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material 
noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from 
fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance 
with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a 
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made 
by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about City of El Mirage’s compliance with the 
requirements of each major federal program as a whole. 
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government 
Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we: 
•
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
•
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error,
and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding City of El Mirage’s compliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
•
Obtain an understanding of City of El Mirage’s internal control over compliance relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances
and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of City of El Mirage’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other 
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material 
weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance 
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control 
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing 
their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of 
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal 
control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over 
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type 
of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and 
corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a 
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of 
compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in 
internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with 
governance. 
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in 
the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed 
to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses 
or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our 
audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to 
be material weaknesses, as defined above.  However, material weaknesses or significant 
deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified. 
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. 
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform 
Guidance 
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type 
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of El 
Mirage, Arizona, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the 
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of El Mirage, Arizona’s basic financial 
statements. We issued our report thereon dated November 23, 2022, which contained 
unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the 
purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic 
financial statements.  
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes 
of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the 
basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was 
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to 
prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional 
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying 
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the 
basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with 
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the 
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to 
the basic financial statements as a whole.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of 
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the 
requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other 
purpose.
