The U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of State, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations, revised June 24, 1997, which rescinds OMB Circular A-128, also applies. Information related to this single audit, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and auditor's reports on internal control and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are included in the Single Audit Section. This report includes all funds of the County and its component units. As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the component units listed below are included within the County's reporting entity because they are entities for which the County is considered to be financially accountable. The Building Authority has been included as a blended component unit in the County's financial statements since the County appoints the governing authority and the Building Authority provides its services entirely to the County of Saginaw. The Saginaw County Road Commission, Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, Drain Commission, and Department of Public Works have been discretely presented as separate component units of the County's financial reporting entity to emphasize that they are legally separate from the County.
