INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Auditor General of the State of Arizona
and the Honorable Mayor
and Town Council of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona
We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona,
as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, and have issued our separate report thereon
dated November 21, 1997. We have also audited the accompanying Annual Expenditure
Limitation Report of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona, for the year ended June 30, 1997. This
report is the responsibility of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this report based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the report is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the report. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall report presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
The accompanying Annual Expenditure Limitation Report was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the uniform expenditure reporting system as discussed in Note 1, and is not
intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion, the Annual Expenditure Limitation Report of the Town of Fountain Hills,
Arizona, for the year ended June 30, 1997, referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information required by the uniform expenditure reporting system on the basis of
accounting described in Note 1.
This report is intended solely for filing with the State of Arizona and should not be used for any
other purpose.
