Findings 169 INTRODUCTORY SECTION March 8, 2019 The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens City of Tyler Tyler, Texas The City of Tyler, Texas’ (City) Charter requires an audit of the City’s financial activities to be conducted at the end of each fiscal year by an independent certified public accountant. Upon co mpletion of the audit th e results shall be reported in writing to Council as soon as reasonably possible. This report is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control. In developing and maintaining the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of the internal control structure. Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and (2) the reliability of financial records for prep aring financial statements that are free o f any material misstatements. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires esti mates and j udgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City’s internal controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. To further ensure the validity of internal controls, we have implemented a fraud hotline. Gollob Morgan Peddy PC, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City of Tyler’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018. In addition to meeting City Charter requirements, the audit also was designed to meet the require ments of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1996 and relat ed Uniform Guidance. 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 in dependent auditor’s report an d provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial st atements. The MD& A complements this letter of transmittal, and should be read in conjunction with this document.
