Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the County of Dare, North Carolina for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed their anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatement. Potter and Company, P.A., a firm of licensed certified public aaccountants, have issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements of Dare County for the fisccal year ended June 30, 2015. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. Profile of the County Dare County is located in northeastern North Carolina along the Atlantic seaboard. The County seat at Manteo is approximately 190 miles east of Raleigh, the State ccapital, and 90 miles south of the Virginia Beach-Norfolk, Virginia, metropolitan area.
