Board of Supervisors County of Contra Costa Finance Building., Room 103 625 Court Street Martinez., California. 94553-1282 Dear Supervisors: SUBJECT: 1994-95 FISCAL YEAR SINGLE AUDIT REPORT CERTIFICATION AND AUDIT FINDING RESOLUTION We completed a desk review of your single audit report for the 1994-95 fiscal year (this includes fiscal years ended September 30, 1994, December 31, 1994, March 31, 1995, and June 30, 1995) . We determined that the report meets the requirements of the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-128. OMB Circular A-128 prescribes the audit and reporting . standards for state and local governments which receive federal financial assistance. OMB Circular A-.128 requires federal and state funding agencies to resolve any audit findings cited in the, report which may affect federal financial assistance programst Attachments A and B to this letter identify those findings which require resolution. The findings are referenced by enclosure (EN) and page number (PAGE) . State agencies should resolve those findings listed in Attachment A. OMB policies require the state to resolve findings which affect federal programs administered by state agencies. The responsible state agency will contact you to resolve the audit findings listed. The State Controller's Office (SCO) -is 'responsible for resolving most cross-cutting findings or audit .leads. A cross-cutting finding is one which affects the programs of more than one agency. Our office will contact you about those findings later. An audit lead is a specific issue' identified in your report which may require additional investigation by federal or state agencies. Federal or state agencies may ask you to provide additional information related to the audit lead. -2- Attachment B lists findings which affect programs directly administered by federal agencies. The federal agencies shown should contact you to resolve these findings. Your audit report may also contain general internal control findings and management report comments not referenced in Attachments A and B. These findings do not appear to affect federal financial assistance programs. Therefore, we have not identified them for resolution action: however, you should ensure your audit report for the 1995-96 fiscal year addresses these findings. Your audit satisfies all financial and compliance audit requirements under individual federal assistance programs. This does not preclude state and federal agencies from making any additional audits which are necessary to carry out their responsibilities under federal laws and regulations. State and federal agencies may contact you to arrange for additional audits. If you have any questions regarding this letter and its attachments, please contact a member of my Single Audits staff at (916) 324-6442. Sincerely, HAROLD L. TURNER, Chief Division of Audits HLT/els Attachments cc: State and Federal Funding Agencies Independent Auditor Auditor-Controller (Counties Only) Director of Finance (Cities Only) SCO-Local Government Fiscal Affairs (Special Districts .- Report Only) .
