In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities and each major fund of the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority as of June 30,2022,and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govern men tAuditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Authority and to meet our other ethical responsibilities,in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Authority and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City of Lansing, Michigan,as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, in 2022 the Authority adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No.87,Leases. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. 1 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,individually or in the aggregate,they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards,we: ➢ Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. ➢ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error,and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining,on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. ➢ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control. Accordingly,no such opinion is expressed. ➢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. ➢ Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. 2 Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information,as identified in the table of contents,be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and,although not a part of the basic financial statements,is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards,we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2022, on our consideration of the Authority's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts,grant agreements,and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Authority's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. December 19, 2022 3 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As management of the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority(the"Authority")we offer readers of the Authority's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30,2022. Financial Highlights Total net position $ 1,710,613 Change in total net position 1,163,183 Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority's basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of: ➢ The statement of net position presents information on all of the Authority's assets and liabilities,with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority is improving or deteriorating. ➢ The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents information showing how the Authority's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus,revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. ➢ The statement of cash flows presents the change in the Authority's cash and cash equivalents for the most recent fiscal year. ➢ The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements. Financial Analysis As noted earlier,net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the Authority,assets exceeded liabilities by$1,710,613 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. By far the largest portion of the Authority's net position (93.8%) is its unrestricted net position which may be used to meet the Authority's ongoing obligations to system users and creditors. Another portion of net position (4.7%) is restricted by contractual agreement to maintain in an event development cash reserve for Jackson Field to provide a source of monies from which to finance events at the Jackson Field. The remaining portion of the net position (1.5%) is its investment in capital assets (e.g., machinery and equipment, and right to use assets);less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The Authority uses these capital assets to provide services;consequently,these assets are not available for future spending. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Authority is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year. 4 Center Park Productions reported a net position of $259,811. The primary purpose of the Center Park Productions fund is to record the activity of the Common Ground Musical Festival,an event that occurs each year in July. Historically,the event has generated a loss. Net Position 2022 2021 Assets Current and other assets $ 3,302,209 $ 3,496,242 Capital assets,net 86,948 18,570 Total assets 3,389,157 3,514,812 Current liabilities 1,657,979 2,248,406 Non-Current Liabilities 20,565 718,976 Total Liabilities 1,678,544 2,967,382 Net Position Net investment in capital assets 25,864 18,570 Restricted 80,000 80,000 Unrestricted 1,604,749 448,860 Total net position $ 1,710,613 $ 547,430 Change in Net Position 2022 2021 Operating revenues $ 5,428,872 $ 1,940,191 Operating expenses 6,485,452 3,070,425 Operating loss (1,056,580) (1,130,234) Nonoperating revenues 2,219,763 1,393,355 Income (loss) before transfers 1,163,183 263,121 Transfers in (out) - - Change in net position 1,163,183 263,121 Net position,beginning of year 547,430 284,309 Net position,end of year $ 1,710,613 $ 547,430 5 The Authority's net position increased by$361,539 for fiscal year 2022, compared to an increase of$263,121 for fiscal year 2021. Key elements of the 2022 increase include: ➢ Revenues of the Authority increased overall;however,the Lansing Center and Groesbeck Golf Course saw increases in revenues due to the increase ability to host activities due to the removal of restriction from the pandemic. Jackson Field returned to normal operating conditions but saw significant increases in operating expenses due to restrictions in funding to maintain the facility during the pandemic. Deferred maintenance at all facilities caused additional increases in maintenance expenses. The return to events at all properties created increases in staffing and expense for hiring and training staff increased as well. Grant funds help sustain operations while revenues increased. Continued concerns over the inflation and challenges associated with expenses(healthcare costs,labor costs,food costs,utilities,etc.)rising and still being able to maintain competitively in the industry while trying hard to provide a good product. Concerns over the overall conditions of the Lansing Center,Jackson Field,and Groesbeck Golf Course still exist and funding is desperately needed to stay up to industry standards and competitive for business. Capital Assets The Authority's investment in capital assets as of June 30, 2022 amounted to $86,948 (net of accumulated depreciation). Total net capital assets increased by $32,930. The decrease is due to there being a $6,500 purchase for the Groesbeck Golf Course,$8,619 for the Lansing Center,and$54,371 disposal for the City Market of in the current year.

Post-pandemic attendance at events has been erratic due to concerns over continued safety. Additionally, consumer spending is concerning due to uncertainty of the economy and inflation. Continued increases to expenses at the Authority include costs of good,labor,utilities,and employee benefits. Supply chain issues and staffing shortages continue to be a concern heading into this fiscal year. The Authority does believe that events will continue to be held and plans to focus on strategic plans that involve growth and investment in the facilities,events,and staff. There is a strong schedule of activity at all properties, and we are focused on overcoming the challenges with staffing and increased costs. Supply chain issues continue to be monitored and are expected to impact pricing and availability of food and beverage product offerings to our clients. There is a focus on evolving foodservice operations to help offset some of these challenges while still delivering great service to our customers.

The Authority was established to oversee the management and operations of the Lansing Center,Jackson Field, and Groesbeck Golf Course under an agreement with the City of Lansing. The Authority is chartered as a building authority under the provisions of Act 31,Public Acts of Michigan, 1948. In the event of dissolution or termination of the Authority, all assets and rights of the Authority shall revert to the City of Lansing. The Authority's Board of Commissioners consists of nine members appointed by the Mayor of the City of Lansing and approved by the City Council,and three ex-officio members. Center Park Productions,a not-for-profit entity,was organized to perform activities in support and furtherance of the purposes of its sole member, Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority, and is therefore reported as a blended component unit of the Authority. The Entity's Board of Directors consists of six members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Authority. Center Park Productions is presented in the accompanying financial statements on its fiscal year end of December 31. The Authority is a discretely presented component unit of the City of Lansing. Measurement Focus.Basis of Accounting.and Basis of Presentation The proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The financial statements present the Authority's individual major funds. The major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the financial statements. The Authority reports the Lansing Center,Jackson Field,Groesbeck Golf Course,and Center Park Productions enterprise funds as major funds. Each fund accounts for the activities of its respective facility/event. Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with an enterprise fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for facility rentals, sales, and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. Also with this measurement focus, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources associated with the operation of this fund are included on the Statement of Net Position. Fund equity(i.e.,net position) is segregated into net investment in capital assets,restricted,and unrestricted components. 12 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1-DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Assets,Liabilities.and Equity Deposits and Investments The Authority's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. State statutes authorize governments to deposit in the accounts of federally insured banks,credit unions,and savings and loan associations,and to invest in obligations of the U.S.Treasury,certain commercial paper,repurchase agreements, bankers'acceptances,and mutual funds composed of otherwise legal investments. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either"due to/from other funds" (i.e.,the current portion of interfund loans). Other receivables,generated in the normal course of providing services to customers,are shown net of doubtful accounts where applicable. Payables are related to amounts due and payable at year-end for liabilities incurred and paid for subsequent to year-end. Inventory and Prepaid Items Inventory is valued at cost using the first-in/first-out(FIFO) method. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items. Capital Assets Capital assets are limited to equipment and right to use assets. Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to ten years. Right to use assets of the Authority are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease period or the estimated useful lives, which is three years. Capital assets are defined by the Authority as assets with an initial,individual cost of more than$500 and an estimated useful life of three years. Facilities managed by the Authority are owned by the City of Lansing and,as such,the carrying values of these properties are reflected in the City's financial statements. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Unearned Revenue Unearned revenue consists of amounts received prior to the delivery of goods/service or expenditure for allowable costs. Unearned revenue also consists of funds received from state government for a grant where funds were received but expenditures were not allocated in order to recognize the full amount of grant funds received. 13 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1-DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Assets,Liabilities.and Equity(continued) Cash and Cash Equivalent Reserves Under the terms of the Authority's operating agreement with the City of Lansing, the Authority is required to restrict$50,000 annually for capital improvements and/or replacements. Any such monies unexpended shall be carried forward to future years. For the year ended June 30,2022,all such restricted monies were expended on capital improvements,leaving a zero balance in restricted assets for capital improvements at year end. Under an amendment to the operating agreement with the City of Lansing, the Authority is also required to maintain an event development cash reserve fund for Jackson Field to provide a source of monies from which to finance events at the Jackson Field. The fund was established by an initial contribution from the City and may be increased up to certain limits by the amount of any profits earned from such events. Restricted assets for event development amounted to $80,000 at June 30, 2022. An equal amount of net position is reported as restricted on the statement of net position. The Authority's Board of Commissioners has also established a cash reserve account to ensure reasonable liquidity for Lansing Center operations. The balance of this cash reserve as of June 30, 2022 was $350,324 and has been formally set aside by the Board of Commissioners as designated for the above purpose. Generally,the reserve is intended to provide up to 60 days of operating cash (which would be approximately $860,000 under normal operating conditions if fully funded). The account is adjusted annually for the prior year operating results. Leases Lessee: The Authority is a lessee for noncancelable leases of equipment. The Authority recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset in the statement of net position. The Authority recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value that it considers significant to the statement of net position, or with annual lease payments that are considered significant to the fund in which they are accounted for. At the commencement of a lease, the Authority initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently,the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The leased asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently,the leased asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgements related to leases include how the Authority determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term,and(3)lease payments. ➢ The Authority uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided,the Authority generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. ➢ The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the Authority is reasonably certain to exercise. 14 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Assets,Liabilities,Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources,and Net Position/Fund Balance (continued) Leases(continued) The Authority monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its leases and will remeasure the leased asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. Leased assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term obligations on the statement of net position. NOTE 2 -DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS In accordance with Michigan Compiled Laws,the Authority is authorized to invest in the following investment vehicles: a. Bonds,securities,and other obligations of the United States or an agency or instrumentality of the United States. b. Certificates of deposit,savings accounts,deposit accounts,or depository receipts of a State or nationally chartered bank or a State or Federally chartered savings and loan association, savings bank, or credit union whose deposits are insured by an agency of the United States government and which maintains a principal office or branch office located in this State under laws of this State or the United States, but only if the bank,savings and loan association,savings bank or credit union is eligible to be a depository of surplus funds belonging to the State under Section 6 of 1855 PA 105,MCL 21.146. c. Commercial paper rated at the time of purchase within the three highest classifications established by not less than two standard rating services and which matures more than 270 days after the date of purchase. d. The United States government or Federal agency obligations repurchase agreements. e. Bankers acceptances of United States Banks. f. Mutual funds composed of investment vehicles, which are legal for direct investment by local units of government in Michigan. 15 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 -DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents as shown on the statement of net position follows: Statement of net position Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,788,612 Cash and cash equivalents-restricted 80,000 Total $ 1,868,612 Deposits and investments Bank deposits-checking and savings accounts 1,834,754 Cash on hand 33,858 Total $ 1,868,612 Interest Rate Risk State law limits the allowable investments and the maturities of some of the allowable investments as identified in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Authority's investment policy does not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. Credit Risk State law limits investments to specific government securities, certificates of deposits and bank accounts with qualified financial institutions, commercial paper with specific maximum maturities and ratings when purchased,bankers acceptances of specific financial institutions, qualified mutual funds and qualified external investment pools as identified in the list of authorized investments in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Authority's investment policy does not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment credit risk. Custodial Credit Risk-Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure,the Authority's deposits may not be returned. State law does not require,and the Authority does not have a policy for deposit custodial credit risk. As of year end, $1,666,822 of the Authority's bank balance of$1,916,822 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and uncollateralized. The Authority's investment policy does not specifically address this risk, although the Authority believes that due to the dollar amounts of cash deposits and the limits of FDIC insurance,it is impractical to insure all bank deposits. As a result,the Authority evaluates each financial institution with which it deposits Authority funds and assesses the level of risk of each institution; only those institutions with an acceptable estimated risk level are used as depositories. 16 LANSING ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3 -TRANSACTIONS WITH THE CITY OF LANSING For the year ended June 30, 2022,the City of Lansing provided annual operating subsidies to the Authority in the amount of$1,539,600 for the Lansing Center,Jackson Field,and Groesbeck Golf Course Funds.

The Authority had transfers throughout the year from the Lansing Center to Central Parks Productions to write- off previous interfund receivable/payables in the amount of$770,331 NOTE 9-DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN The Authority has a defined contribution pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees who have completed 120 days of employment. The Authority contributes 12% of participating employees' annual compensation to the plan. Effective January 1, 2003, employees are required to contribute 7.5% of covered wages as defined in the plan; prior to that date, no employee contributions to this plan were required. Such current employee contributions are in lieu of federal social security participation. Plan provisions and contribution requirements are established and may be amended by the Authority's Board of Commissioners. Employee contributions for the year ended June 30,2022 were$182,403. Employer contributions for the year ended June 30,2022 were$102,661. At June 30,2022,there were 31 employees participating in the plan.

This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset - an intangible asset - and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments,including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant,the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No.87,Leases, as amended. The Authority is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the financial statements when adopted during the 2022-2023 fiscal year. NOTE 13 -CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Authority implemented the following new pronouncement: GASB Statement No.87,Leases. Summary: Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)Statement No.87,Leases,was issued by the GASB in June 2017. The objective of this Statement is to increase the usefulness of governments' financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use the underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset,and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources,thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments'leasing activities. The restatement of the beginning of year had no impact on net position. The change capital assets and long-term obligations is as follows: Long-term Capital Asset Obligations Balances as of July 1,2021,as previously stated $ 18,570 $ - Adoption of GASB Statement 87 101,308 101,308 Balances as of July 1,2022,as restated $ 119,878 $ 101,308 20 2425 E.Grand River Ave., (00*M a n e r Suite 1,Lansing,MI 48912 2 517.323.7500 CosterisanED 517.323.6346 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS The Honorable Mayor,Members of the City Council,and Members of the Board of Commissioners of the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority Lansing,Michigan We have audited,in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States,the financial statements of the business-type activities and each major fund of Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority(the Authority),as of and for the year ended June 30,2022,and the related notes to the financial statements,which collectively comprise Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 19,2022. Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements,we considered the Authority'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 Authority's internal control. Accordingly,we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority'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 a combination of deficiencies,in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Authority's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency,or a combination of deficiencies,in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness,yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control, described below as item 2022-001, that we consider to be a material weakness: 21 2022-001 MATERIAL JOURNAL ENTRIES PROPOSED BY AUDITORS Condition: Material journal entries to properly adjust the due from other governmental units,accounts payable, and unearned revenue were proposed by the auditors. These entries were prepared by the auditors and provided to management, who agreed to them and were subsequently recorded in the Authority's general ledger. Criteria: Management is responsible for establishing,maintaining,and monitoring internal controls,and for the fair presentation in the financial statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows (where applicable),including the recording of all appropriate journal entries so that the trial balances,from which the audited financial statements are prepared, reflect amounts that are in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles. Cause: These misstatements were not identified as part of the Authority's internal control procedures. Effect: Without the recording of these journal entries the financial statements would have been materially misstated. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority take steps to assure that material journal entries are no necessary at the time future audit analysis is performed. Corrective Action Response: The Authority strives to perform necessary material journal entry adjustments prior to fiscal year end. The Authority will work to establish a policy to assure all material journal entries are recorded prior to the commencement of audit procedures in future years. Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Authority's financial statements are free from material misstatement,we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts,and grant agreements,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly,we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under GovernmentAuditing Standards. Authority's Response to Findings GovernmentAuditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Authority's response to the findings identified in our audit and described above. Authority's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and,accordingly,we express no opinion on the response. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing,and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. December 19,2022 22
