Introductory Section Letter of Transmittal Listing of City Officials Organizational Structure PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Finance Administration June 3, 2020 To the Members of the City Council and the Citizens of the City of North Miami: We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) for the City of North Miami, Florida, (the “City”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This report is published to fulfill the requirements of Chapter 11.45 of the Florida Statutes, and Section 16 of the City Charter which require that City accounts be audited annually by independent auditors. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report. The City operates under a comprehensive internal control framework designed to prevent the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse, and ensures the reliability of financial records. Considering the cost of internal controls should not exceed the benefits, the objective of this report is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. The City’s accounts and financial statements have been audited by RSM US LLP. The firm has issued an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2019. The independent auditor’s report is located at the beginning of the financial report section on page 1. As a recipient of federal, state and county grants, the City is also subject to an annual Single Audit in conformity with the provisions of the Federal Single Audit Act and Chapter 10.550 of the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. 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 City’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on the administration of federal and state awards. Information related to the Single Audit, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Schedule of Expenditures of State Financial Assistance and Local Awards, findings and recommendations, and auditor’s reports on the internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are included in the compliance section. The management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of North Miami’s MD&A can be found in the section immediately following the report of the independent Certified Public Accountants. i PROFILE OF THE CITY The City is located in the Northeastern region Miami-Dade County, Florida. The City of North Miami is the sixth largest City in Miami-Dade County, and the forty-first largest in the State. It encompasses 9.5 square miles
