During the audit, no material financial findings or internal control weaknesses were reported. The auditor has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion dated December 16, 2019 stating that the District's financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The auditor prepares additional assurance letters and reports, in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Memorandum of Internal Controls and Required Communications is attached. The other independent auditor's reports will be submitted via supplemental agenda.
