Other Communications Arising From the Audit In connection with the planning and the performance of our audit, generally accepted auditing sandazds and Government Auditing Standards require that we ensure that certain matters are communicated to management and members of the Board. We will report directly to the members of the Boazd any fraud of which we become aware that involves senior management, and any fraud (whether caused by senior management or other employees) of which we become awaze that causes a material misstatement of the general purpose financial statements. We will report to senior management any fraud perpetrated by lower level employees of which we become aware that does not cause a material misstatement of the general purpose financial statements; however, we will not report such matters directly to the Boazd, unless otherwise directed by the Boazd. We will inform the appropriate level of management of the County and ensure that the Board is adequately informed with respect to illegal acts that have been detected or have otherwise come to our attention in the course of our audit, unless the illegal act is cleazly inconsequential. If, after determining that the Boazd has been adequately informed of an illegal act that has been detected or which has otherwise come to our attention in the course of our audit, we conclude that (1) the illegal act has a material effect on the general purpose financial statements; (2) senior management has not taken, and the Boazd has not caused senior management to take, timely and appropriate remedial actions with respect to the illegal act; and (3) the failure to take appropriate remedial actions is likely to result in a departure from the standazd auditors' report or warrant our resignation from the audit engagement, we will directly report our conclusions to the Boazd and take such actions as aze required by state or federal law to report such matters to funding agencies and appropriate legal authorities.
