Certified Public Accountants. <br />rngocpa.cc?m <br />To the Mayor and City Council <br />of the City of Santa Ana <br />Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on <br />Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements <br />Performed in Accordance With Governmental Auditing Standards <br />We have audited the financial statements of the Santa Ana Empowerment Corporation (Organization), <br />California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated <br />September 10, 2010. Our report included an explanatory paragraph highlighting that the Organization will <br />discontinue operations after June 30, 2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards <br />generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits <br />contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. <br />Internal Control Over Financial Reporting <br />In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial <br />reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the <br />financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of <br />Organization's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the <br />effectiveness of the Organization's internal control over financial reporting. <br />A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow <br />management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or <br />detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination <br />of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement <br />of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. <br />Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in <br />the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over <br />financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not <br />identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material <br />weaknesses, as defined above. <br />Compliance and Other Matters <br />As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial statements are free <br />of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, <br />regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material <br />effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance <br />with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an <br />opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are <br />required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. <br />24 S N zl „f;+,i? [swtf S;?I? 10?
