Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of Tri-
County Regional Planning Commission (the Commission), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Commission's basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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 Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements 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 entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Tri-County Regional Planning
Commission as of September 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information, as identified in the table of contents, be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, 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 Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the Commission's basic financial statements. The accompanying other supplementary information, as identified
in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements. The accompanying other supplementary information has not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 30, 2018,
on our consideration of the Commission's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and 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 the Commission's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year Ended September 30, 2018
This fund is presented on the modified accrual basis, which is designed to show short-term financial information.
You will note that differences between the government wide statements and the fund statements are disclosed in
the reconciling financial statements to explain the differences between them.
Financial Analysis of the Commission as a Whole
Net Position -The Commission's net position increased during the year ended September 30, 2018, by$53,478.
Total unrestricted net position was $539,731 at year end. The unrestricted net position will be used for operating
cash-flow, future program shortfalls, and capital asset purchases.
Liabilities -The Commission's liabilities decreased by$5,263. This was due to decreases in accounts payable.
Financial Analysis of the Commission's Fund
Amendments to our budget for the year ended September 30, 2018, were to add projects and cover changes in
certain operational expenditures.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The Commission adopts an annual budget for the General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided as required supplementary information to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Federal source revenue, state source revenue, and local source revenue were $180,545, $64,768, and $68,409
lower than anticipated, respectively. The final expenditure budget increased from the original budget; the final
_ budget was $330,064 greater than actual expenditures.
Capital Assets
The following is a summary of capital assets and the associated accumulated depreciation:
Fiscal Year Fiscal Year
2018 2017
Furniture and equipment $ 196,220 $ 196,220
Less: Accumulated depreciation (181,523) (176,910)
Net capital assets $ 14,697 $ 19,310
The capital assets of the Commission consist exclusively of office furniture and equipment. The Commission has
implemented a capitalization policy consistent with MDOT and federal funding that require all items, other than
buildings, building improvements and land improvements, purchased having a useful life in excess of one year
and an individual cost of more than $5,000 be capitalized and depreciated. The capitalization threshold for
buildings and building improvements is $50,000 and $25,000 for land improvements. Note D to the financial
statements provides additional information regarding capital assets.
Contacting Commission Management
This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Commission's finances and to demonstrate
the Commission's accountability for the revenues it receives. If you have any questions concerning the report,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2018
NOTE A: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
4. Basis of Accounting -continued
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenue is recorded in the period in which it is earned and expenses are
recorded when incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Revenues for grants, entitlements, and
donations are recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Unearned
revenue is recorded when resources are received by the Commission before it has legal claim to them, such as
when grant monies are received prior to the incurrence of qualified expenses.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when
they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be
determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. The length of time used to define "available" for purposes of revenue
recognition in the governmental fund financial statements is sixty (60) days. Revenues susceptible to accrual
include property taxes, state aid, and interest revenue. Other revenues are not susceptible to accrual because
generally they are not measurable until received in cash. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability
is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt which are recorded when due.
Resources are considered available if they are collected during the current fiscal year or soon enough afterward
to be used in payment of current year liabilities. Unavailable revenues arise when potential revenue does not
meet both the "measurable" and "available" criteria for recognition in the current period. Unavailable revenues
also arise when the Commission receives resources before it has a legal claim to them. In subsequent periods,
when both revenue recognition criteria are met, the liability for unavailable revenue is removed from the balance
sheet and revenue is recognized.
If/when both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Commission's practice to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
5. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The overall budget is based upon individual projects and the general operating fund budgets. Budgeted amounts
areas originally adopted, and maybe amended by the Commission. Net individual budget amendments were not
material in relation to the originally approved amounts. Budgets lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
6. Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded (net of accumulated depreciation, if applicable) and are those assets with an initial
individual cost of$50,000 for buildings and building improvements, $25,000 for land improvements, and $5,000
for all other assets and an estimated useful life of more than one year. All purchased capital assets are valued at
cost where historical records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no historical records exist.
Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value on the date received.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Infrastructure 20-100 years
Buildings and building improvements 20-50 years
Vehicles 4-15 years
Furniture and equipment 5-7 years
7. Cash and Investments
Cash consists of the Commission's checking and savings accounts.

5. Bankers' acceptances of United States banks.
6. Mutual funds composed of investment vehicles, which are legal for direct investment by local units of

Deposits
There is a custodial risk as it relates to deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure, the Commission's deposits may not be returned to it. As of September 30, 2018, the carrying amounts
and bank balances for the accounts were as follows:
Carrying Bank
Account Type Amount Balance
Checking $ 92,282 $ 147,520
Savings 504,748 504,748
Certificate of Deposit 150,000 150,000
$ 747,030 $ 802,268
Deposits of the Commission are at federally insured banks located in the State of Michigan with all accounts
maintained in the name of the Commission. The bank balances as of September 30, 2018, were federally insured
for$647,521 and the amount of$154,747 was uninsured and uncollateralized. The cash caption on the financial
statements includes $150 of imprest cash.
Credit Risk
State law limits investments in certain types of investments to a prime or better rating issued by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO's). As of September 30, 2018, the Commission did not have
any investments that would be subject to rating.
Custodial Credit Risk
The Commission will minimize custodial credit risk, which is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer
. or backer by diversifying its investments by security type and institution to ensure that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio, by limiting the investment types
to savings accounts and certificates of deposit, and by pre-qualifying the financial institutions, brokers/dealers,
intermediaries and advisers.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Commission will minimize concentration of credit risk, which is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of
the Commission's investment in a single issuer, by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of
potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized.

Upon termination, an employee receives payment for the balance of unused vacation leave, which is credited to
an employee each month.
NOTE F: RETIREMENT PLAN
The Commission provides pension benefits for all non-temporary employees through a defined contribution plan,
which was established by the Board of Commissioners and may be amended from time to time by the Board. This
plan is administered by the Michigan Municipal Employees Retirement System. In a defined contribution plan,
benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. The Commission's
contributions are vested at a graded rate based on year of service.

The employer is required to contribute 9%of all covered payroll. Required contributions to the plan were$64,918,
covered payroll was $721,306, and total payroll was $721,801 during the fiscal year. Contributions to the plan
during the fiscal year were $65,857.
NOTE G: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Under the terms of various Federal and State grants, periodic compliance audits are required, and certain costs
may be questioned,allowed, or disallowed,which could result in funds being returned and/or received from grantor
agencies.
NOTE H: ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY
The Commission receives substantially all of its support from federal, state, and local governments. A significant
reduction in the level of this support, if this were to occur, could have an effect on the Commission's activities.

NOTE K: DETAILS OF FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS -CONTINUED
Fund Balance Classification Policies and Procedures
For committed fund balance, the Commission's highest level of decision-making authority is the Board of
Commissioners. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance
commitment is a resolution by the Board of Commissioners.
For assigned fund balance, the Commission has not approved a policy indicating who is authorized to assign
amounts to a specific purpose. As a result, this authority is retained with the Board of Commissioners.
The Commission has not formally adopted a policy that determines when both restricted and unrestricted fund
balances are available which should be used first,therefore restricted resources will be used first,then unrestricted
resources if they are needed.
NOTE L: PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS AND RESTATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The following prior period adjustments were made during the year to correct accounting errors. These
adjustments were reported as changes to the beginning net position/fund balance. The effect on operations and
other affected balances for the current year are as follows:
Governmental
Activities General Fund
Beginning net position/fund balance $ 606,251 $ 586,941
Overstated accrued liabilities 353 353
Overstated accounts payable 2,717 2,717
Understated deferred revenue (1,415) (1,415)
Restated beginning net position/fund balance $ 607,906 $ 588,596
The corrections of accounting errors reported in the funds resulted in a restatement of the beginning net position
and fund balance for governmental activities and the general fund, respectively. The beginning net position/fund
balance for both governmental activities and the general fund increased by$1,655, respectively.
NOTE M: UPCOMING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases. The Statement increases 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 provision of the contract. The Commission is currently evaluating the impact this standard
will have on the financial statements when adopted during the 2020-2021 fiscal year.

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
To the Board of Commissioners
Tri-County Regional Planning Commission
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 governmental activities and the major
fund of Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (the Commission), as of and for the year ended September 30,
2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Commission's basic
financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated November 30, 2018.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Commission's internal control
. over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the 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 Commission's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission'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 entity'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.
Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to
be material weaknesses. We consider the following deficiency described below to be a significant deficiency:
2018-001 CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION SUPPORT
Condition: During our testing of purchasing(credit)cards,we tested two(2)months of credit card transactions.
There were thirty-five(35)total transactions during the two(2)months tested, and three(3)transactions tested
were missing support for the amounts charged to the credit card.
Criteria: The Commission's credit card policy requires receipts or supporting documentation to be submitted
by the user of the credit card prior to the bill being paid.
Cause: Unknown.

517,351.6836 ♦ sktcpas.com
-48 -
2018-001 CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION SUPPORT-CONTINUED
Effect: By failing to follow its credit card policy and procedures, the Commission is at greater risk for error or
fraud which could lead to material misstatement of the financial statements.
Recommendation: We recommend that the Commission review its policy related to credit card usage and
ensure all credit card transactions are supported by a receipt prior to payment being made by the Commission.
Corrective Action Response: The Commission will review its policy related to credit card usage and will
ensure that credit cards transactions are supported by a receipt prior to payment. Receipts for monthly
software charges will be obtained.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Commission'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 determination of
financial statement amounts. 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 Government Auditing Standards.
Tri-County Regional Planning Commission's Response to the Finding
The Commission's response to the finding identified in our audit is described above. The Commission's response
was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on it.
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 Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.
