SIIREVF.PORT.LATHOI I III.I I I 1I I wcbsilc: www.ci.slirevcptirt.la us May 2,2005 Mayor Keith Hightower Members of the City Council City of Shreveport, Louisiana Mayor and Members of the City Council: In accordance with Section 10.02, paragraph (j), of the City Charier, I am pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2004. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. I believe this report presents comprehensive information about the City's financial and operating activities during 2004 that is useful to taxpayers, citizens, and oilier interested persons. This report was prepared by the Accounting Division of the Finance Department and consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility Tor the completeness and reliability of till of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of Ihc City 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 City's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls lias been designed to provide reasonable rallicr than absolute assurance llial the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. In addition to internal controls established by management and those built into the accounting system, the Office of Internal Audit periodically reviews the adequacy of internal controls. The Internal Auditor and her staff are independent of the Finance Department. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. In accordance with Section 4.28 of the City Charter, the City Council is required to provide for an annual independent audit of the accounts and financial transactions of the City by a firm of independent certified public accountants duly licensed to practice in the State of Louisiana. The accounting firm of KPMG LLP was selected by the City to conduct its annual audit. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31,2004, 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 the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, 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 City 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 City'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 MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. Profile of the City of Shrevcport The City of Shreveport was incorporated in 1839. It is located on the west bank of the Red River in Northwest Louisiana, approximately thirty miles south of Arkansas and fifteen miles east of Texas.

  • Council Proceedings of the City of Shreveport, Louisiana June 24, 2003
    COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY OF SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA JUNE 24, 2003 The Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Shreveport, State of Louisiana, was called to order by Chairman Monty Walford at 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 24, 2003, in the Government Chambers in Government Plaza (505 Travis Street). Councilman Gibson led the Invocation. Before I do the invocation, I’d like a moment of silence. We lost, on Sunday, one of Shreveport’s outstanding citizens, Percy Sharp who was a mainstay in the business community and the civic community working in North Highlands, working with the Chamber of Commerces, both African-American Chambers and Shreveport Chambers and Bossier and Minden Chambers of Commerce. In fact, he was also the main individual who 4 ½ years ago was able to see that we were at an impasse on I-49 North and called a breakfast with myself and John Holt and Jerry Harris who was on the Port Commission at the time to discuss how we get that project back on course. And his vision and fortitude actually was, and that story has not been told until this time, is the reason why now we are on track to have one of the biggest economic development projects to hit Louisiana, probably for the next 25 years, but I would ask for a moment of silence in recognition of Percy Sharp. On Roll Call, the following members were Present: Councilmen Lester, Walford, Green, Gibson, Hogan, and Jackson. 6. Absent: Councilman Carmody (out of City). 1. Approve Minutes. Motion by Councilman Gibson, seconded by Councilman Hogan to approve the Administrative Conference Summary Minutes of June 9, 2003 and the Council Meeting Minutes of June 10, 2003.
