Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) of the Paramus Board of Education for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Paramus Board of Education. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the Paramus Board of Education has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the school District's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Paramus Board of Education's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Paramus Board of Education's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The Paramus Board of Education's financial statements have been audited by Lerch, Vinci & Higgins, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants and public school accountants. The goal ofthe independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Paramus Board of Education for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor's concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Paramus Board of Education's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements of the Paramus Board of Education was part of a broader, federally mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal and state grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special
