    Lonnie Hamilton, III Public Services Building 4045 Bridge View Drive North Charleston, SC 29405-7464 McRoy Canterbury, Jr. Phone: (843) 958-4000 Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Fax: (843) 958-4004 December 13, 2007 To the members of County Council and the citizens of Charleston County, South Carolina: State law requires that all general-purpose local governments publish at the close of each fiscal year 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 a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to this requirement, we hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for Charleston County, South Carolina, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of Charleston County. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government agency’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, Charleston 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 beliefs, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects.
