Document dated: September 20, 2017
From: Raymond F. Wager, CPA, P.C.

To: Board of Education - Letchworth Central School District

A. Our Responsibility Under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards -

As stated in our engagement letter dated April 24, 2017, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.

B. Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit - 

We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to management and the Board in our engagement letter dated April 24, 2017.

C. Significant Audit Findings -

Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices

D. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit

We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

E. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements - 

Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

F. Disagreements with Management-

For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

G. Management Representations- 

We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated September 20, 201 7.

H. Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants - 

In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on cet1ain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

I. Other Audit Findings or Issues - 

We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

J. Other Matters -

We applied certain limited procedures to the management's discussion and analysis, schedule of funding progress ofpostemployment benefit plan, schedule of District's propot1ionate share of the net pension liability, schedule of District contributions, and budget comparisons, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquires, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on supplementary information accompanying the financial statements (as listed in the table of contents) but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

Document Highlights Include:

COMMUNICATING INTERNAL CONTROL RELATED MATTERS IDENTIFIED IN AN AUDIT For Year Ended June 30, 2017

Document dated: September 20, 2017 
From: Raymond F. Wager, CPA, P.C.
To the Board of Education
Letchworth Central School District, New York
 
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Letchworth Central School District, New York as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Letchworth Central School District, New York's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control.
 
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
 
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses. Given these limitations during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
 
Current Year Deficiencies in Internal Control:
 
Vendor Change Reports
 
Our examination revealed that vendor change reports are not printed and reviewed on a monthly basis.
 
We recommend the Administration review this item and consider implementing procedures which would require an independent review of vendor change reports on a monthly basis.
 
Prior Year Recommendations:
 
We are pleased to report the following prior year recommendations have been implemented to our satisfaction:
1. Journal entries are now being reviewed and authorized by an independent individual.
2. Every purchase reviewed was supported with an appropriately approved purchase order.
3. Payroll change reports are now being reviewed by an individual independent of the process.
 
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board, audit committee, and others within the organization and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
