Nielsen, CPA <br />Victoria L. Halinka, CPA/CMA <br />INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR <br />EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM: REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL <br />OVER COMPLIANCE: AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES <br />OF FEDERAL AWARDS REOUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE <br />To the City Council and Management <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM <br />We have audited the City of Ramsey, Minnesota's (the City) compliance with the types of compliance <br />requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement that could <br />have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended <br />December 31, 2017. The City's major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Audit Results <br />section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. <br />MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY <br />Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions <br />of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs. <br />AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY <br />Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City's major federal programs <br />based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of <br />compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the <br />standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the <br />Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal <br />Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for <br />Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan <br />and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of <br />compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal <br />program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance <br />with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the <br />circumstances. <br />We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major <br />federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance. <br />(continued) <br />-4- <br />Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A. <br />5353 Wayzata Boulevard • Suite 410 • Minneapolis, MN 55416 • Phone: 952-545-0424 • Fax: 952-545-0569 • www.mmkr.com <br />
