Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Santa Ana Page 2 The other postemployment benefits (OPEB) expense and total OPEB liability, and corresponding deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the City's OPEB plan are based on an actuarial valuation provided by a third -party actuary. The claims liability for workers' compensation and general liabilities are based on certain actuarial assumptions and methods prepared by an outside consultant. The allowance for uncollectible accounts are based on management's analysis of collectability of receivables based on terms and conditions of agreements, as well as current economic conditions and considerations of creditors ability to pay. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Financial statement disclosures Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. Difficulties encountered in performing the audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Uncorrected misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. Corrected misstatements None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. Disagreements with management For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. No such disagreements arose during our audit. Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors' report As previously communicated to you, the report was modified to include an emphasis of a matter to direct readers to Note IE to the financial statements regarding adoption of new account guidance, Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB Statement) No. 96, Subscription - Based Information Technology Arrangements.
