ZANDER, CPA FINANCE DIRECTOR December 6, 2010 To the Board of Supervisors, and Citizens of Yavapai County: State law requires that counties prepare a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by the Arizona State Auditor General’s Office or by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of Yavapai County for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of Yavapai 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, management of the County has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the County’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the County’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. Walker & Armstrong LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, have audited the County’s financial statements. 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, 2010, 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 concluded, based upon the audit; that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that Yavapai County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, 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. 1 The independent audit of the financial statements of the County 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 on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the County’s separately issued Single Audit report. GAAP require that management 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. Profile of the Government Yavapai County was formed in 1864; one year after the Arizona Territory was established. The County was named after the Yavapai tribe, whose name means “people of the sun”. The County is located in the central portion of the state encompassing approximately 8,125 square miles. The County is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties within its boundaries. The County operates under the supervisor-administrator form of government. Policy- making and legislative authority are vested in a Board of Supervisors (Board) consisting of three members elected to four-year terms representing three supervisorial districts. The Board appoints an Administrator, who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the County government. The Board is responsible for the financing and administration of County government, has final approval over County departmental budgets and sets property tax rates. As part of its administrative duties, the Board is responsible for appointing department heads, and members of County boards and commissions dealing with planning and zoning, building codes, health, employees and employee benefits, private industry and agriculture. The Board acts as the board of directors for special districts within the County such as jail, water, sanitation, lighting, flood control and library. The County Administrator develops and presents the County budget, oversees countywide
