INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON SCHEDULE
OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the
Town of Marana, Arizona for the year ended June 30, 1993, and have
issued our report thereon dated October 8, 1993. These general
purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of
Marana, Arizona's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A -128, Audits of
State and Local Governments. Those standards and OMB Circular
A -128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the general purpose financial statements of the Town of Marana,
Arizona taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of federal
financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the general purpose
financial statements. The information in that schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
presented in all material respects in relation to the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUD TDR I S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE RELATED
MATTERS NOTED IN A FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT CONDUCTED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Town of
Marana, Arizona for the year ended June 30, 1993, and have issued our report
thereon dated October 8, 1993.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
stars, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States, and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A - 128, Audi of State and I.oca1_Governnnents. Those standards
and OMB Circular A -128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement.
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial
statements of the Town of Marana, Arizona for the year ended June 30, 1993,
we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general
purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal
control structure.
The management of the Town of Marana, Arizona is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are
to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and
that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization
and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or
irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection
of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk
that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures
may deteriorate.

Honorable Mayor and Town Council Page 2
Town of Marana, Arizona
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal
control structure policies and procedures in the following categories:
Cash
Fixed assets
Long -term debt
Revenue, receivables and receipts
Expenditures and accounts payable
General requirements:
Political activity
Davis -Bacon Act
Civil rights
Cash management (Not applicable)
Relocation assistance and real property acquisition (Not applicable)
Federal financial reports (Not applicable)
Drug -free workplace
Allowable costs /cost principles
Administrative requirements
Specific requirements:
Types of services allowed or unallowed
Matching
For all of the control categories listed above, we obtained an understanding
of the design of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been
placed in operation, and we assessed control risk.
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its
operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability
to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements.
1. GENERAL LEDGER:
Condition: The Town's general ledger utilized for fiscal 1993 was not
capturing all of the Town's activities, and the general ledger was not
segregating activities by fund.
Recommendation: We suggest the Town implement procedures to record and
segregate all activities of the Tczn by fund in its general ledger. With
the growth and expansion of the Town, it is becoming too cumbersome to
segregate Town activities recorded within a combined general ledger.
Segregation will enable the Town to better report financial activities,
provide more assurance to the Town relative to grantor compliance
requirements, and provide better information as to the cost of certain
activities in order to determine self- sufficiency.
Management's response: The Town has made substantial improvement in the
maintenance of the general ledger over the last couple of years. The
Town will continue to upgrade its accounting system to allow its general
ledger to segregate activities by fund.

Honorable Mayor and Town Council Page 3
Town of Marana, Arizona
2. BUDGET
Condition: The Town prepares its budgets by purpose and not by object.
Recommendation: We recommend that management budget by object. This
will allow for financial statements to display expenditures compared to
budget for current operations, capital outlay, and debt service.
Management's response: Budgets prepared for fiscal 1994 are by object
and will allow for better financial statement presentation in 1994.
3. FIXED ASSET INVEN'T'ORY
condition: The Town has not recently conducted a reconciliation of its
physical property records and the items reflected in its general fixed
assets group of accounts. In addition, the Town is not recording
donated assets.
Recommendation: We recommend that a physical inventory of property be
conducted in the near future, and that a reconciliation of that inventory
be made to the general ledger, with all appropriate adjustments being
investigated and made, including those for donated assets. Detailed
schedules of the fixed asset history have been provided by us to the Town
to facilitate this physical inventory.
Management's response: As soon as it is practicable, management will
perform such a fixed asset inventory and reconciliation.
4. COORDINATION OF ACCOUNTING
Condition: Currently, the Town has a number of individuals in addition
to the Town accountant maintaining accounting records for certain Town
activities. This makes it difficult for the Town accountant to properly .
integrate these activities into the general ledger. As a result, errors
in processing this information can occur.
Recommendation: We recommend the Town accountant be given the
responsibility of maintaining the accounting records for all Town
activities. This should allow for the standardization of how accounting
records are maintained and reduce the likelihood of errors in integrating
accounting activity into the general ledger.
Management's response: Management is in the process of redefining job
descriptions for administrative employees and will take this condition
into consideration during this process.
5. REVENUE RECONCILIATION PRbOCEDURES
Condition: The Town has various department reports that contain
financial information regarding revenue that are not being utilized by
the Town accountant to reconcile revenue within the general ledger. In
addition, reconciliations are not being performed for the control over
prenunbered permits issued. Finally, information is not being requested
from the Town's independent engineer to verify the calculations of
development fee revenue and to reconcile receipts of cash from
developers.
5
Honorable Mayor and Town Council Page 4
Town of Marana, Arizona
Rec aendation: We reco mnend the Town utilize management reports, and
information provided by the independent engineer in order to reconcile
revenue within the general ledger, as well as reconcile prenuxnbered
permits to permits issued. These procedures will provide the Town with
better controls over revenue.
Management's response: Subsequent to year end, the Town implemented the
procedures suggested.
6. U1a007 LATERALTZED CASH BALANCES
Condition: At June 30, 1993, the Town had bank balances with a financial
institution that exceeded the amount insured by the FDIC by $133,017.
Although this financial institution is a national bank, if it was to
become insolvent, the Town could be limited to recovering $100,000 of its
bank balances.
Recommendation: We recommend the Town either maintain bank balances with
individual financing institutions below $100, 000 or obtain collateral
from the financial institutions that would be adequate to cover balances
that exceed $100,000. This will better safeguard the Town's bank
balances.
Managements response: Management was under the impression that
irx3iviciu 1 accounts were each insured for $100,000, rather than the total
accounts with a financial institution being combined for the $100,000
limitation. Management will discuss this issue further with the
financial institution in question and take whatever steps are necessary
to safeguard bank balances.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in
amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period
by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all
reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as
defined above. However, we believe the reportable conditions described above
are material weaknesses. It should be noted that comments 1, 2, 3, and 4 are
recurring.
This report is intended for the information of the Town Council, management
and various providers of governmental financial assistance. However, this
report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement.
In planning and performing our audit of the Town of Marana, Arizona for the
year ended June 30, 1993, we considered the Town's internal control structure
in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on the Town's general purpose financial statements and to report
in accordance with OMB Circular A -128. This report addresses our consider-
ation of internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to
compliance with requirements applicable to federal financial assistance
per. We have addressed policies and procedures relevant to our audit of
the general purpose financial statements in a separate report dated October
8, 1993.
The management of the Town of Marana, Arizona is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are

For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we
obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures
and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed
control risk.
During the year ended June 30, 1993, the Town of Martina, Arizona expended
60.6% of its total federal financial assistance under the following nonmajor
federal financial assistance program:
Community Development Block Grant
We performed tests of controls, as required by amB Circular A -128, to
evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control
structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to preventing
or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements and general
requirements that are applicable to the aforementioned nonmajor program. Our
procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on
these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its
operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
Structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Town's ability to
administer federal financial ass'

1. OOORDI2 TI0N1 OF ACCOUNTING
Condition: currently, the Town has an individual other than the Town
accountant maintaining the accounting records for the Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). This makes it difficult for the
Town accountant to properly integrate the CDBG activity into the general
ledger. As a result, errors in processing this information can occur.
Recommendation: We recommend the Town accountant be given the
responsibility of maintaining the accounting records for cDBG. This will
facilitate the Town accountant integrating the CDBG information into the
general ledger and reduce the likelihood of errors being made in the
processing of this information.
Management's response: Management is in the process of redefining the
job descriptions for administrative employees and will consider this
condition during that process.
2. GENERAL LEDGER:
Condition: The Town's general ledger utilized for fiscal 1993 was not
capturing all of the Town's activities, and the general ledger was not
segregating activities by fund.
Recommendation: We suggest the Town implement procedures to record and
segregate all activities of the Town by fund in its general ledger. With
the growth and expansion of the Town, it is becoming too cumbersome to
segregate Town activities recorded within a combined general ledger.
Segregation will enable the Town to better report financial activities,
provide more assurance to the Town relative to grantor compliance
requirements, and provide better information as to the cost of certain
activities in order to determine self- sufficiency.
Management's response: The Town has made substantial improvement in the
maintenance of the general ledger over the last couple of years. The
Town will continue to upgrade its accounting system to allow its general
ledger to segregate activities by fund.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with laws and
regulations that would be material to a federal financial assistance program
may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all
reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as
defined above. However, we believe the reportable conditions described above
are material weaknesses. It should be noted that comments 1 and 2 are
recurring.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
Year Ended June 30, 1993
Questioned
Costs 1. DRUG -FREE WORKPLACE
-0- Finding:
In performing our testing of payroll transactions,
we noted that personnel files of three police
officers, working in federally supported grant
programs, did not contain evidence that the
officers were aware of the Town's drug -free
workplace policy. During fiscal 1993, there were a
total of four police officers working in federally
supported grant programs. The fourth officer was
not selected in our sample. The Town has
implemented a policy that meets the requirements of
the Drug -Free Workplace Act.
Management's response:
The Town will go through all its personnel files
and make sure all employees have signed documents
that they are aware of the drug -free workplace
policy and other personnel policies. The Town has
experienced tremendous growth in recent years and
has been making efforts to improve its personnel
documentation.
-0 - 2. DAVIS -BACON ACT
Finding
The Town did not pay the prevailing wage for a
construction project under one of its Community
Development Block Grant Programs. Normally, the
Town contracts with its independent engineer to
monitor contractors on construction projects
involving federal funding for Davis -Bacon Act
compliance. However, for this particular project,
the Town decided not to use its independent
engineer. This finding was discovered by Pima
County, the pass- through grantor for these
programs, and a payment of $366 was made to the
contractor to bring wages to the prevailing wage
rate.
