REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
Generally accepted auditing standards (AU -C260, The Auditor's Communication with Those Charged with
Governance) require the auditor to promote effective two-way communication between the auditor and those charged
with governance. Consistent with this requirement, the following summarizes our responsibilities regarding the
financial statement audit as well as observations arising from our audit that are significant and relevant to your
responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility under Professional Standards
Our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America have been described to
you in our arrangement letter dated October 22, 2013.
Overview of the Planned Scope and Timing of the Financial Statement Audit
We have issued a separate communication regarding the planned scope and timing of our audit and have discussed with
you our identification of and planned audit response to significant risks of material misstatement.
Accounting Practices
Preferability of Accounting Policies and Practices
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, in certain circumstances, management
may select among alternative accounting practices. In our view, in such circumstances, management has selected the
preferable accounting practice.
Adoption of, or Change in, Accounting Policies
Management has the ultimate responsibility for the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by the City. The
City did not adopt any significant new accounting policies, nor have there been any changes in existing significant
accounting polices during the current period.
Significant or Unusual Transactions
We did not identify any significant or unusual transactions or significant accounting policies in controversial or
emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Alternative Treatments Discussed with Management
We did not discuss with management any alternative treatments within generally accepted accounting principles for
accounting policies and practices related to material items during the current audit period.
Management's Judgments and Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of financial statements and are based upon management's
current judgment. The process used by management encompasses their knowledge and experience about past and
current events and certain assumptions about future events. You may wish to monitor throughout the year the process
used to compute and record these accounting estimates. There are no accounting estimates that we have deemed
significant to the financial statements.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other
than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Uncorrected misstatements related to a General Fund receivable that was overstated at December 31, 2013, which has a
direct impact on the net change in fund balance for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Audit adjustments recorded by the Organization are shown on the attached Exhibit A.
CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
Disagreements with Management
We encountered no disagreements with management over the application of significant accounting principles, the basis
for management's judgments on any significant matters, the scope of the audit, or significant disclosures to be included
in the financial statements.
Consultations with Other Accountants
We are not aware of any consultations management had with other accountants about accounting or auditing matters.
Significant Issues Discussed with Management
No significant issues arising from the audit were discussed or were the subject of correspondence with management.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We did not encounter any difficulties in dealing with management during the audit.
Letter Communicating Significant Deficiencies and Material Weaknesses
We have separately communicated the material weaknesses and a significant deficiency identified during our audit of
the financial statements, and this communication is included within the compliance section of the City's financial report
for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Certain Written Communications Between Management and Our Firm
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter
dated March 24, 2015.
