2019-:001 
Financial Reporting 
Type of Finding: Material weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
 
Condition/Context: The City does not have a system of internal controls that would enable

and properly valued and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 
(GAAP).  
 
Audit adjustments were proposed and subsequently recorded by management to present capital 
assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An audit adjustment was 
proposed and subsequently recorded by management to reclassify construction in process (CIP) 
for completed projects out of CIP to its respective depreciable assets classifications. 
 
Additionally, audit procedures identified a sales tax accrual that was double booked. 
 
Criteria or Specific Requirement: Generally accepted accounting principles require 
management to maintain internal controls over the recording and reconciling of financial 
information. 
 
Status: Fully corrected in fiscal year 2020.
