NOTICE OF AUDITOF THE FISCAL
AFFAIRS OF THE
CITY OF STURGIS
Notice is hereby given that the records and books of account of the City of Sturgis, South Dakota, have been audited by Ketel Thorstenson, LLP, Certi-fi ed Public Accountants of Rapid City, South Dakota for the year ended Decem-ber 31, 2019. A detailed report thereon, containing additional information, is fi led with the City of Stur-gis and the Department of Legislative Audit in Pierre, South Dakota for public inspection.
The following fi ndings and recommendations re-ferred to in the report are hereby listed in accor-dance with the provisions of SDCL 4-11-12.
CURRENT AUDITFINDINGS ANDRECOMMENDA-
TIONSFinding:We were requested to
draft the audited fi nancial statements and related footnote disclosures, as part of our regular audit services. Auditing stan-dards require auditors to communicate this situation to the City Council as an internal control defi ciency. Ultimately, it is manage-ment’s responsibility to provide for the preparation of the City’s statements and footnotes and the re-sponsibility of the auditor to determine the fairness and presentation of those statements. From a practi-cal standpoint, we do both for the City at the same time in connection with our audit. This is not un-usual for municipalities of your size.
Recommendation:As in prior years, we
have instructed manage-ment to review a draft of the auditor prepared fi nan-cials in detail for their ac-curacy; we have answered any questions they might have, and have encouraged research of any accounting guidance in connection with the adequacy and appropriateness of classi-fi cation and disclosure in the City’s statements. We are satisfi ed that the ap-propriate steps have been taken to provide the City with the completed fi nan-cial statements. It is the responsibility of manage-ment and those charged with governance to make the decision whether to accept the degree of risk associated with this con-dition because of cost or other considerations.
