We hereby issue the annual financial report (AFR) of Gallatin County (hereafter referred to as County) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the County. 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, County management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the County’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse, to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the County’s financial statements and comply with laws and regulations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the County designed our comprehensive framework of internal controls 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 financial statements of the County have been audited by Anderson ZurMuehlen and Company P.C., a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the County for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, 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 auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering unmodified opinions over the County’s basic financial statement opinion units, as listed in the accompanying table of contents for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The independent auditor’s report is presented at the front of the financial section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements was part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal 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 an opinion on the audited government’s internal controls with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls, and render an opinion on compliance involving the administration of major federal awards. The County is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended in 1996, and Title 2 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations part 200 (Uniform Guidance). Information related to this single audit, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) and the auditor’s reports on internal control over financial reporting and compliance with other matters under Government Auditing Standards and in accordance with Title 2 are included in the single audit section of this report. 3 Management is required to provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The County’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
