Required Communication During and at the Conclusion of the Audit Process
Our Responsibilities
• To express an opinions about whether the financial statements, prepared by management
with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP.
• Our audit includes understanding Okaloosa County and its environment, including internal
control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements
and to design nature, timing and extent of audit procedures. Material misstatements can
result from error, fraudulent financial reporting, and misappropriation of assets or
violations of laws or governmental regulations.
Required Communication During and at the Conclusion of the Audit Process
To Conclude the 2015 Audit Process
• Key estimates in the financial statements that are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because the possibility they may change, possibly significantly in the near term,
include:
• Estimate for allowance for bad debt in the Water and Sewer, Airport, and EMS Funds.
• Estimate of landfill closure and post closure costs in the Solid Waste Fund.
• Estimate of accrued liability for post employment benefits other than pensions (healthcare) applicable to
BOCC and all Constitutional Officers.
• Estimate of accrued liability for general, automobile and workers’ compensation claims applicable to BOCC
and all Constitutional Officers except Sheriff under the self‐insurance program. Sheriff uses commercial
insurance for these types of claims.
• Estimate of accrued liability for medical claims applicable to the Sheriff under the self‐insurance program.
BOCC and other Constitutional Officers use commercial insurance for these types of claims.
• Estimates required under GASB 68 concerning the calculation of the net pension liability and related
deferred inflows and outflows. Estimates were provided to Management based on an actuarial analysis.
• No difficulties encountered in the performance of the audit.
• No disagreements with Management.
• We received representations from the management of the BCC and all Constitutional Officers in relation to
the 2015 audit in letters dated May 27 and March 4, 2016.
Summary of Auditors’ Results
Summary of Auditor’s Results
• Unqualified opinions issued with respect to the financial statements and with respect to
compliance for major federal and state programs.
• There was one material weakness and four significant deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting identified, there were no instances of noncompliance, and no instances
of material weaknesses in internal control over major Federal awards and State projects.
Summary of Auditors’ Results
Matters to bring to the attention of governance as it relates to the system of internal control over financial
reporting
• Capital asset accounting for the County was not performed timely during FY 2015.
• Public Works and Facility Maintenance has substantial amounts of inventory on hand that has not been
counted and reconciled on a routine basis to perpetual inventory records. Additionally, the inventory has not
been physically recorded in the general ledger as its value was assumed to be immaterial.
• Vendor master file maintenance is performed by accounts payable clerks in the Clerk Finance function. To
compensate for the lack of segregation of duties a compensating control has been established. Due to the
volume of transactions processed we believe the segregation of duties should be properly designed.
• The Airport does not have an accounting policy and procedure manual established that is necessary to
monitor activities related to the billing and collections of revenues. Various exceptions were found in testing
provisions of lease agreements. The exceptions were not material.
• A material adjustment to the Water and Sewer Fund of $1.48 million was proposed by the auditors and
accepted by management to correct revenue recorded related to the Eglin Wastewater Treatment project.
Revenues reported were overstated until corrected by audit adjustment.
