CITY OF ALLEN PROFILE Allen is 25 miles north of downtown Dallas on U.S. 75. It is in the midst of the growth emanating from Dallas and its northern suburbs. The City has established a reputation in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and in the state of Texas for being at the forefront of development and is promoting commercial and residential growth in ways that will aid in having a balanced community.

Formal budgetary integration is not employed for Special Revenue Funds, Proprietary Funds or Capital Project Funds. However, the City does adopt an annual budget for those funds for managerial control. FACTORS AFFECTING THE CITY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION Economic Development - As development expanded outward from Dallas and growth spread northward, the City Council created the Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) to receive and disperse _ the one-half cent r sales tax approved Allen Station by voters for Business Park economic development. Since Mal!= The annual budget serves as the foundation for Allen's financial planning and control. Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund and Debt Service Fund. Each year the City Manager is required to submit to the City Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayers' comments. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance, setting the limit for expenditures during the fiscal year. Expenditure appropriations in the adopted budget are by department and may be amended during the year. The City Manager is authorized to adjust budgeted its inception in 1992, the AEDC has dedicated its resources to developing first-class technology parks and recruiting quality industries to the community. In 2004, development activity in Allen continued at a brisk pace. State Farm Insurance opened a regional operations center in Allen Station Business Park. With almost 300 employees, this is the largest State Farm claims center in Texas. J. Suzette & Company, a wholesale designer and manufacturer of women's apparel expanded their operation in Allen Station Business Park and Nextel is moving into the park in March 2005. These projects, combined with the recruitment of Contemporary Title Solutions, Stacy Furniture and Gary Riggs Interiors in 2004, added more than 450 new jobs in Allen. The corporate growth that fuels residential growth is now creating an increased need for professional services and office space I I and a demand for more retail, restaurant, entertainment and health care options. Major medical office developments are underway in Allen to meet the needs of the growing region: • Presbyterian Hospital of Allen is adding approximately 35,000 square feet to accommodate new emergency rooms, imaging space, additional medical/surgical beds, labor/delivery/recovery rooms and other services.

When "t. complete, Twin ecd.6_ Creeks Medical _ Center will contain over 100,000 square feet of medical office space. building at The Village at Alma is already sold. The AEDC works closely with commercial brokers to market anchor retail space in Allen. Allen's continued population growth and excellent demographics have attracted new retail, restaurants and services to the city. New mixed-use developments announced in 2004 will offer tremendous opportunity to diversity choices in shopping and dining and boost property and sales tax revenues for the City. Star Creek, a project of Blue Star Investments, encompasses 529 acres on the south side of SH 121, west of US 75 and on the north side of Stacy Road. The retail development includes a 16 -screen Cinemark theater, Lifetime Fitness, restaurants, ..,� a hotel and - conference ' center and e an office complex.

Property Values — Assessed property values increased $356 million (89/6) from the preceding year. The increase is accounted for by $306 million in new property and a $50 million increase in the value of existing property. Assessed property value has increased 93% over the past five years and accounts for 37% of the General Fund revenue. Increases in assessed property value along with continued economic growth have allowed the City Council to lower the property tax rate for the eleventh consecutive year while improving quality services to its citizens. Retail Sales - Similar to other communities in Texas and the United States, Allen's retail economy has faced significant challenges since September 11, 2001. The slow down in the economy continued to affect the City's 2003-2004 fiscal year sales tax receipts which were 4.8% above the previous year. A growth rate of 7.5 % had originally been budgeted. Although sales tax revenue was less than expected, expenditure savings were far greater and the General Fund balance increased by $994,289. Long -Term Financial Planning — The City's annual budget process involved incorporating the goals and strategies identified by the City Council's three-year Strategic Plan to provide for the community's highest priority needs. The goal statements developed by the City Council are: • Enhance neighborhood livability and safety. • Cultivate alliances and partnerships with agencies and governmental units that affect Allen. • Continue to provide first-rate emergency services. • Manage growth and development to preserve Allen's character. • Improve regional mobility through transportation initiatives. • Promote the continued development of recreational opportunities. • Systematically invest in public infrastructure. • Achieve operational excellence in City government services. • Signify City of Allen's identity through beautification efforts. • Ensure good fiscal management. Individual departments develop their goals and objectives in terms of these all- encompassing organizational goals. Strategic Financial Plan — An appropriate financial plan for the City of Allen requires many elements all working in concert with one another. Current expectations are for modest sales tax revenue growth, potential reductions of state revenue sharing, and additional demands for "essential' City services such as police, fire, water, sewer, drainage and street improvement. The Finance Department's management role will be to maintain and enhance financial plan elements and ensure the continued financial stability for the City of Allen. Financial Resource Planning — Strategic planning begins with determining the City's fiscal capacity based upon long-term financial forecasts of recurring available revenues. Financial forecasts coupled with financial trend analysis techniques and careful reserve analysis will preserve the fiscal well being of Allen. Strategic planning is a critical element not only to meet long. term financial stability goals but also to determine City Council objectives that will require special financial planning to achieve success. Strategic Capital Improvement Program Planning — The City of Allen's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a mufti -year financial plan for the acquisition, expansion, or rehabilitation of infrastructure, capital assets, or productive capacity of City services. The City's operating and budgets are closely linked. budget, project budgets are used as a guide for project, debt and other related budget planning. As such, future years are subject to change; in addition, debt issuance for many future projects is subject to voter approval. Throughout the year projects are monitored and repriontized as needed. The City utilizes the project accounting and budgeting components of the financial software to assist with the monitoring aspect of the process. Monthly reports are provided to Council to keep them informed of the status of projects. Debt Management — All debt issuances are for the purposes of financing capital infrastructure or long-lived costly assets. Each debt issuance is evaluated against multiple policies addressing: debt service as a percent of operating expenditures, tax and revenue bases for the repayment of debt, the overall debt burden on the community, statutory limitations and market factors affecting tax-exempt interest costs. Sizing of the City's Capital Improvement Program based on debt capacity in conjunction with conservatively estimated pay-as-you-go revenues will help stabilize per capita debt and lower annual debt service costs to the City over the long-term. To take advantage of lower interest rates, in June, 2004 the City refunded $3,310,000 in Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds to obtain an economic gain of $81,420. capital projects Revenues for the capital budget come primarily from bond sales, supplemented by development fees and some current revenues. The capital improvement program unlike the operating budget is a five-year plan and is reviewed and projects are repriodtized on an ongoing basis. Although not formally adopted as part of the annual Cash Management Policies and Practices — The City of Allen's investment policy is to invest all City funds at the highest available interest rate, assuring that all monies are fully secured with emphasis on safety of principal, liquidity, yield, diversification, and public trust. State statutes authorize the City to invest in U.S. Government obligations, obligations of Texas and its agencies and fully collateralized repurchase agreements. The City utilizes a pooled cash concept in order to invest greater amounts of cash at one time and therefore receives more favorable interest rates. Insurance and Risk Management - The City has a comprehensive risk management program, including property, liability, safety, workers' compensation, health, dental and wellness. Administration of these functions requires participation from the Human Resources department, outside legal counsel and consultants. The City has established a self-insurance plan for City employees and their covered dependents for medical and dental care. A third -party insurance company re -insured the City for individual claims in excess of $75,000. The City participates in the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP), which provides the City with risk financing and loss prevention services. TMLIRP carries the Citys general liability, property and casualty insurance and workers compensation. Each category of coverage has a specific deductible per occurrence. The Texas Tort Claims Act limits the liability of a municipality to a maximum of $250,000 for each person and $500,000 for each occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each occurrence or injury to or destruction of property. Allen has an aggressive safety incentive program that promotes employee safety on the job and focuses on risk control techniques designed to minimize accident -related losses. In addition to the safety Program's preventive measure, claims are closely monitored in order to minimize the City's liability exposure. with generally accepted purchasing procedures and legally mandated procurement standards. The City has contracted with DemandStar.com for the maintenance of an automated vendor list which categorizes each vendor by commodity codes for the specific goods or services offered by the vendor. FISCAL YEAR 2004 HIGHLIGHTS Fiscal 2003-2004 reflected a very conservative approach to City operations considering the country's economic conditions while carefully balancing the expansion of services and amenities that define the special character of the City. These programs and amenities will assist in maintaining Allen as a "livable' community for future generations. Key projects completed during the year included: . Historic Villaoe.desion onese.

Of this amount, $43,601,475 may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors (unrestricted net assets). • The City's net assets increased by $10,678,843. • The City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $51,048,856 at September 30, 2004, an increase of $418,424 from the prior year. The increase was largely due to county funds received for street construction projects. • Unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $8,421,863 at year end or 28% of total general fund expenditures for the reported fiscal year. • The City's total non-current liabilities of $106,392,283 increased by $8,432,645. • During the reported fiscal year $11,700,000 of General Obligation (GO) Bonds and $6,710,000 in Water and Sewer Refunding and Improvement Revenue bonds were sold. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government -wide financial statements - The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to that of a private -sector business. The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. To assess the overall health of the City, other non-financial factors should also be taken into consideration, such as changes in the City's property tax base and the condition of the City's infrastructure. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported when the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences). CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 Both the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are prepared utilizing the accrual basis of accounting as opposed to the modified accrual basis used in prior reporting models. In the government -wide financial statements, pages 17 through 19, the City is divided into three kinds of activities: • Governmental activities - Most of the City's basic services are reported here, including the police, fire, library, community development, parks and recreation, municipal court, and general administration. Property and sales taxes, charges for services, franchise fees, and state and federal grants finance most of these activities. • Business -type activities - The City's water, sewer, solid waste and drainage operations are reported here. These are functions intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. • Component units - The City includes two separate legal entities in this report- the Allen Economic Development Corporation and the Community Development Corporation. Although legally separate, these component units are important because the City is financially accountable for them. Fund financial statements - A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental and proprietary. Governmental Funds - These funds are used to account for the majority of the City's activities, which are essentially the same functions as governmental activities in the government -wide statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as resources available for future spending at fiscal year end. These funds are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. When compared with similar information in the broader government -wide financial statements, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Reconciliation is provided that details the relationships or differences between governmental activities and governmental funds; reconciliation follows the fund financial statements. The City maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Facilities Agreement Fund, General Capital Projects Fund, Street Improvements Fund, Park Improvements Fund, Library Fund and General Obligation Bond Fund all of which are considered to be major funds. Data for the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of the non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. ' CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) ' The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 20 through 26 of this report. ' Proprietary Funds - The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City ' uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer operations, solid waste collection and disposal services, and drainage operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City t uses its internal service funds to account for vehicle replacements and costs associated with workers compensation, liability and property insurance and employee medical and dental insurance programs. These services have been included within governmental activities in the ' government -wide financial statements as they predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions. ' Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water and sewer operations, solid waste collection and disposal services ' since they are considered to be major funds of the City. The Drainage Fund is the only remaining enterprise fund, so it is being presented as a major fund even though it does not meet the criteria of a major fund established in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34. All internal service funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the ' proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 27 through 31 of this report. ' Notes to the Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 35 through 61 of this ' report. Other Information - In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents required supplementary information highlighting budgetary information for the General Fund found on pages 62 through 64 of this report. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non -major governmental funds ' and internal service funds are presented following the required supplementary information. Comparative schedules of capital assets used in the operation of governmental funds are found on pages 105 through 108. ' GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, over time net assets may serve as a useful indicator of the financial position of ' a government. The assets of the City of Allen exceed the liabilities by $363,400,492 as of September 30, 2004.

The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, they are not available for future spending. Although the City reports its capital assets net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The restricted net asset amount of $662,643 represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used; the remaining balance of $43,601,475 may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Analysis of the City's Operations - As of September 30, 2004, the City had an overall increase in net assets for the government as a whole with an increase in the net assets of the governmental activities that offsets the decrease in net assets for business -type activities. Table 2, provides a summary of the City's operations for the year ended September 30, 2004. Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $13,448,627. Business -type activities decreased the City's net assets by $2,769,784 due to self-financing of water and sewer capital projects and operational transfers to the General Fund. 0 ' CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) 1 Table 2 Changes In Net Aust gindeminermilActlya 9usine.aNee Activities Istel 790_4 2003 2004 2003 20" 20_03 Revenues.

Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. t As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $51,048,856. Approximately 87% or $44,446,274 constitutes unreserved fund ' balances, which are available for spending at the government's discretion. The remaining fund balances are reserved to indicate that they are not available for new spending because the funds have already been committed to pay for encumbrances ($5,056,612) and debt service ' ($1,541,257) and to provide for prepaid items ($4,713). The following charts show the governmental funds' sources of revenue and expenditure by percentage. 2 ■ Nat bond proceeds Governmental Funds Sources of Revenue ■Franchise fees , ■ galas taxes ■ ifNk a Property taxes ■ 18% ' a Services, tees Mines o htergovernrrental & ■ 8% Grants ' Nat transfers in & Other ❑3]% ■11 o 377%pm 11❑ 0 Geis, interest, & A%c.

At September 30, 2004, the General Fund unreserved fund balance was $8,421,863 while total fund balance reached $8,426,576. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 27.6% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 27.6% of that same amount. Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund has a fund balance of $1,541,257, all of which is reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current ' fiscal year was $163,587. Special Revenue Fund - The Facilities Agreement Fund records the use of funds received from ' builders and developers on specific facility agreements. There was little activity this year as the projects are still in development stages. The net increase in fund balance during the current fiscal year was $103,238. ' General Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Project funds provide information on non -bonded capital projects. These funds cover multi-year budgeted capital projects. The General Capital t Projects fund balance increased by $3,487,167. This fund received $5,615,105 transferred from other funds to finance capital expenditures. acreet improvements, rant improvements uprary Fund and GO Bond Funds - These funds ' record the use of bond funds for capital projects. These funds collectively received $10,895,000 from the spring, 2004 GO bond sale. Fiscal year 2004 highlights can be found in the transmittal letter starting on page vi. ' Other Governmental Funds - Special revenue funds that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes and capital project funds that do not qualify as major funds are aggregated ' here. One of those funds, Parks and Recreation Special Revenue Fund, records the City's recreation services. Membership and user fees are insufficient to cover all expenses; therefore, the General Fund transferred $1,125,000 to supplement citizens' recreation activities. ' Proprietary Funds - The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial statements, but in more detail. ' Unrestricted net assets in the Water and Sewer Fund, the Solid Waste Fund, and the Drainage Fund at the end of the current fiscal year amounted to $8,182,381, $930,508, and $628,622, respectively. All three funds had a decrease in net assets totaling $2,945,800, a result of ' transfers to other funds. The Water and Sewer fund contributed $1,839,094 towards the Prestige Water Tower, waterline replacements and other various water and sewer capital projects. ' The 2003-2004 fiscal year represents the second year of the implementation of a water and sewer rate study resulting in an overall rate increase of 6%. An increase in the City's cost to ' purchase water and wastewater treatment from North Texas Municipal Water District resulted in an increase in rates to the customer. The rate structure continues to reflect the shift to conservation water rates, which is a year-round inclined block rate system based on increasing ' charges for increasing water usage levels.

The increase in capital assets in the governmental activities is primarily attributed to the completion of several street projects including East Exchange and Alma Drive.

The City had authorized but un- issued direct general obligation bonds totaling $20,285,000 at fiscal year end. The City's indebtedness increased $7,454,011 during the fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the following: • The City issued $11,700,000 General Obligation Bonds to be used to pay for capital improvement projects including street and drainage improvements, park and recreation projects, a senior citizens center and a performing arts center. • The City issued $6,710,000 Water and Sewer Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds of which $3,400,000 is to be used to pay for improvements and extensions to the water and sewer system and $3,310,000 to advance refund outstanding bonds resulting in obtaining an economic gain of $81,420.

The remaining other long-term debt relates to capital leases, compensating absences, interest, discounts and leases payable. Governmental activities' total debt increased by 7.29%, business -type activities' debt increased by 16.26% and component unit's debt decreased by 10.35%. The City had authorized but un- issued direct general obligation bonds totaling $20,285,000 at fiscal year end. The City's indebtedness increased $7,454,011 during the fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the following: • The City issued $11,700,000 General Obligation Bonds to be used to pay for capital improvement projects including street and drainage improvements, park and recreation projects, a senior citizens center and a performing arts center. • The City issued $6,710,000 Water and Sewer Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds of which $3,400,000 is to be used to pay for improvements and extensions to the water and sewer system and $3,310,000 to advance refund outstanding bonds resulting in obtaining an economic gain of $81,420. The City's General Obligation Bond, Community Development Corporation's Sales Tax Bond and Water and Sewer Revenue Bond ratings are listed in Table 5 below. The City's bonds are insured thus holding a Triple A credit rating from both Moody's Investors Service and Standard and Poor's.

Sales tax growth for 2003-2004 was 4.8% above the previous year. A growth rate of 7.5% had originally been budgeted for sales tax. Sales tax for fiscal year 2004-2005 was projected to increase approximately 10% above the revised 2003-2004 budget, due to the additional commercial development that was anticipated. However, this development is delayed approximately one year, and so the estimate will be revised downward. Revenue was also down for commercial and multi -family building permits and franchise fees; however, property valuations continued to increase since residential construction continued to be strong due to low mortgage interest rates that make housing affordable. The City saw an ' increase of about 9% in the total assessed value for the 2004 budget. For the 2004-2005 budget, the total valuation increased by 7.9% to $4.78 billion. The City issued 1,075 single family building permits; it's population increased by approximately 3,500 residents during the year. The City anticipates issuing approximately 1,400 single family building permits in the coming year. The City's property tax rate was reduced to $.561 per $100 valuation for the 2003-2004 budget ' and was reduced to $.560 per $100 valuation for fiscal year 2004-2005. The City has reduced its tax rate for the twelfth straight year. The portion of the tax rate contributed to debt service was 35.96%, keeping within the City's policy of maintaining the proportion below 40%. The City's financial policy requires 60 days reserve for General Fund operational expenses. The 2003-2004 reserve was approximately 93 days, and the projected 2004-2005 budget reflects a reserve of approximately 81 days. Although there was a slow down in the economy, the City continued with capital improvement ' projects being funded from several sources. The City issued $11.7 million of GO bonds for various projects. The City has issued $65.715 million of the $86 million authorized by election. During fiscal year 2005, the City plans to take advantage of lower interest rates by refunding bonds valued at $32.17 million. Even with the additional debt, the tax rate for Debt Service is expected to remain constant for the next few years as valuation increases help generate additional property taxes dedicated to ' Debt Service. Cash financing from the General Fund for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects totaled $901,240 in 2003-2004. This amount represented year end available resources that were unrestricted or unallocated for other purposes. The 20042005 Budget contains ' General Fund cash financing for one project; however, 'If unallocated resources are available at year end, the City may direct funds to CIP projects that need additional funding. 13 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 An overall rate increase of 6% was implemented for water and sewer in 2003-2004. The long range plan expects annual 6% increases to continue in the future as 1) North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) proceeds with their water and sewer capital expansion plans and 2) the City implements conservation water rates. The City cash financed CIP water and sewer projects of approximately $1.839 million in 2003-2004 and anticipates $1.35 million cash financing in fiscal year 2005. Cash financing of water and sewer projects has reduced working capital; however, the City will meet bond coverage requirements necessary to maintain a working capital minimum of 1.2 times the annual debt service obligation. In fiscal year 2003-2004, the City issued $6,710,000 in Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding and Improvement bonds. The refunding portion was $3,310,000 and the new improvement portion of $3,400,000 was for the Prestige Circle water tower and the Westside waterline. A Water and Sewer revenue bond issue of $4,250,000 is planned in fiscal year 2004-2005 for the Custer Road Pump Station. North Texas Municipal Water District provides landfill services for several cities including the City of Allen. NTMWD is in the process of constructing a new landfill on Highway 121 in Melissa. Disposal costs are expected to increase at the new landfill in the future. Future rate increases will be associated with disposal costs relative to the McKinney landfill. The City's $.33 monthly increase in solid waste fees in 20032004 contributed to a successful Household Hazardous Waste program partnership with the City of Plano. The 2004-2005 fiscal year budget provides for a maximum 4% merit increase for its employees based upon performance; however, the budget was prepared with an average merit increase of 3% for non-public safety employees and 4% for public safety employees on a step pay grade system.

However, 677,664 in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount of capital assets recorded in the current period. 23,856,842 Governmental funds do not recognize assets contributed by developers. However, in the statement of activities the fair market value of those assets is (247,950) recognized as revenue, then allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. 6,865,114 Depreciation expense on Capital assets is reported in the statement of activities but 75.811 does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation $ 13,448,627 expense is not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (12,262,035) The proceeds from issuance of long -ten debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial resources to governmental funds ($11,700,000), while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt Consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds ($ 5,812,129). Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance Costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas the amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of achvifies ($35,665). This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. (5,852,206) Current year changes in long-term liability for Compensated absences do not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 54,910 Cuff ant year changes in accrued interest payable do not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (137,847) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the Costs of Certain activities, such as insurance and fleet management, to individual funds. The net revenue of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities net of amount allocated to businesstype activities. 677,664 Current year accretion on capital appreciation bonds is not refiected in the fund financial statements, but is shown as an increase in the accreted interest on the government -wide financial statements. Payments of accreted interest on Capital appreciation bonds are expenditures in the fund financial statements, but are shown as reductions in long-term debt in the government -wide financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General Statement ' The City of Allen (the 'City') was incorporated in 1953, under the provisions of Chapter 11, Title 28, Texas Revised Civil Statutes of 1925. In 1979, the City adopted a charter making it a home rule city operating under a Council -Manager form of government. The City provides such services as are authorized by its charter to advance the welfare, health, comfort, safety and convenience of its ' inhabitants. The accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the accompanying ' basic financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to state and local governments. Generally accepted accounting principles for local governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the publication entitled Audits of State and Local Governmental Units and by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable). As allowed by Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, the City has elected not to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles ' Board Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after November 30, 1989. The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below. Financial Reporting Entity As required by accounfing principles generally accepted in the United States of America the financial statements of the City include the primary government and organizations for which the primary ' government is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting enfitys financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. ' The City is financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific ' financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence ' the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance ' the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because of their fiscal dependency on the primary government. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. 35 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Financial Reporting Entity - continued The following entities were found to be component units of the City and are included in the basic financial statements: Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) -The AEDC is responsible for aiding, promoting and furthering economic development within the City. Allen Community Development Corporation (ACDC) - The ACDC is responsible for supporting the improvements in community parks and recreation, streets and sidewalks, public safety and the community library. The members of both the AEDC's and ACDC's Boards of Directors are appointed by the City Council. Both the AEDC and ACDC are fiscally dependent upon the City as the City Council approves their budgets and must approve any debt issuance. However, the component units do not qualify for blending because the component services directly benefit the community rather than the City itself. The AEDC and ACDC are discreetly presented as governmental fund types and do not issue separate financial statements. Basis of Presentation The government -wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the City, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund activity, within the governmental and business -type activities columns, has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements: The City segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Separate statements are presented for governmental funds and proprietary funds. These statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial statements; all non -major funds are aggregated and presented in a single column. Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources. The City has presented the following major governmental funds: ■ r 6 L i CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Basis of Presentation — continued General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial resources for the payment of principal, interest and related costs on general long-term debt paid primarily from taxes levied by the City. The fund balance of the Debt Service Fund is reserved to signify the amounts that are restricted exclusively for debt service expenditures. Facilities Agreement Special Revenue Fund - The Facilities Agreement Special Revenue Fund is used to account for funds received from builders and developers used on specific facility agreements such as neighborhood parks, paving and assessments in new developments. General Capital Projects Fund - The General Capital Projects Fund is used to account for resources used for the acquisition and/or construction of capital facilities by the City, except those financed by proprietary funds and not accounted for by another capital projects fund. Street Improvements Capital Projects Fund - The Street Improvements Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for construction of and improvements to the City's streets. The construction is financed by the proceeds of general obligation bonds and interest on investments. Park Improvements Capital Projects Fund - The Park Improvements Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financing, improvements, and enlargements of the City's parks. These improvements and enlargements are funded by general obligation bond proceeds and interest on investments. Library Capital Projects Fund - The Library Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financing, construction and furnishing of library facilities with the proceeds of general obligation bonds and interest on investments. 37 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Basis of Presentation - continued General Obligation Bond Capital Projects Fund - To account for financing, acquisitions, and construction of improvements to City facilities and infrastructure not accounted for by other bond funds. Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The accounting objectives are determinations of net income, financial position and cash flow. All assets and liabilities are included on the Statement of Net Assets. The City has presented the following major proprietary funds: Water and Sewer Fund - The Water and Sewer Fund is used to account for the provision of water and sewer services to the residents of the City. Activities for the fund include administration, operations and maintenance of the water and sewer system and billing and collection activities. The fund also accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long-term debt principal and interest for water and sewer debt. All costs are financed through charges to utility customers with rates reviewed regularly and adjusted if necessary to ensure integrity of the fund. Solid Waste Fund - The Solid Waste Fund is used to account for the provision of solid waste services to residents of the City. Drainage Fund - The Drainage Fund is used to account for the provision of developing and maintaining proper drainage services to the residents of the City. Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund - The Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund accounts for the costs associated with the acquisition of vehicles through the rental of such vehicles to other departments. Risk Management Fund - The Risk Management Fund accounts for the costs associated workers compensation, liability and property insurance and medical and dental programs established for City employees and their covered dependents. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost of personnel and contractual services, supplies and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. kI; 11 ail ' CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting ' Measurement focus refers to what is being measured. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government -wide statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic 1 resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are ' recognized when earned, including unbilled water and sewer services which are accrued. Expenses are recognized at the time the liabilities are incurred. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources ' measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. 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 City considers all revenues as available if they are collected within 60 days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and ' certain compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. The revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, franchise taxes and interest income. Other receipts (special assessments) become measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are recognized as revenue at that time. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments State statutes and policy as established by the City Council authorize the City to invest in certificates ' of deposit, direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, investment pools consisting of such U.S. Treasury obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and mutual funds. Substantially all operating cash and cash equivalents are maintained in pooled cash and time deposit accounts. Interest income relating to pooled deposits is allocated to the individual funds based on each fund's pro rata share of ' total pooled deposits. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the proprietary funds consider all highly liquid ' investments (including restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, as they are available for withdrawal on demand. Investments are accounted for in accordance with GASB No. 31 —Accounting for Financial reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Investments are recorded at amortized cost when original maturity at the time of purchase is less than one year or at market if greater than one year. 39 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 I NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Encumbrances Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds. Under the City's budgetary process, appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. Encumbrances are reported as reservations of fund balances because they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Property Taxes The City's property tax is levied each October i on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for all real and certain personal property located within the City. Appraised values are established by the Central Appraisal District of Collin County at 100% of estimated market value and certified by the Appraisal Review Board. The assessed value upon which the 2003 levy was based is $4,432,999,647. Taxes are due on October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31. The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, including the payment of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt. The combined tax rate to finance general governmental services including the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt for the year ended September 30, 2004 was $0.561 per $100 of assessed valuation. In Texas, countywide central appraisal districts are required to assess all property within the appraisal district on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and are prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the appraisal district must be reviewed every five years; however, the City may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The City may challenge appraised values established by the appraisal district through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Under this legislation, the City continues to set tax rates on City property. However, If the effective tax rale, excluding tax rates for bonds and other contractual obligations, adjusted for new improvements, exceeds the rale for the previous year by more than 8%, qualified voters of the City may petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate to no more than 8% above the tax rale of the previous year. Interfund Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that are representative of lendingiborrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are reported as 'due to/from other funds' Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the govemmenl-wide financial statements as "internal balances'. Transactions Between Funds and Between Funds and Component Units Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as a reduction of expenditures/expenses in the fund reimbursed. All other interfund transactions, except transactions between the component units and the primary government are recorded as transfers. 0 i CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS iNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 iNOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued iTransactions Between Funds and Between Funds and Component Units -continued Transactions between the component units and the primary government are accounted for as external i transactions (revenues and expenses). During the year ended September 30, 2004, the AEDC contributed $30,000 to the general fund and the ACDC contributed $36,000 to the general fund. The revenues were reflected as grants and contributions for the primary government in the statement of activities. iInventories and Prepaid Items Inventories, which are expended when consumed, are recorded using the average cost method, and iare valued at cost. Prepaid items are for payments made by the City in the current year to provide services occurring in i the subsequent fiscal year. A reserve for prepaid Nems is recognized in the governmental funds in the fund level financial statements to signify that a portion of fund balance is not available for other subsequent expenditures. iSpecial Assessments The City has the authority to make special assessments to property owners as part of the financing of i capital improvements. Such assessments are recorded in the capital projects fund as receivables when assessed and are recognized as revenue when both the measurable and available criteria have been met (generally when collected). ^� Capital Assets r Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in the > applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial k statements and in the fund financial statements for proprietary funds. All capital assets are valued at ■ historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at fair market value on the date donated. The costs of normal repairs and maintenance that do i not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset lives are not capitalized. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Interest has not been capitalized during the construction period on property, plant and equipment. i Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: iBuildings 15-40 Years Towers, tanks, and pump stations 30 Years i Infrastructure 10-50Years Machinery and equipment 3 -15 Years Vehicles 2 -15 years Library books 5 Years i Furniture and fixture 5 Years Other improvements 2 - 30 Years 1 41 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES— continued Capital Assets - continued The City has established the Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund to amount for replacement of the City -owned vehicles. Charges for use of the vehicle in the form of user payments are made by City departments to the Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund to provide for future acquisitions and replacement of City -owned vehicles. Vacation and Sick Leave (Compensated Absences) City employees earn vacation and sick leave, which may either be taken or accumulated, up to certain amounts, until paid upon retirement or termination. Upon termination or retirement, an employee is reimbursed up to a maximum number of hours of vacation pay and sick leave based upon the years of service. Accumulated vacation and sick leave is accrued when incurred in the government -wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. NOTE 2. DEPOSITS, INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT POLICIES Deposits — State statutes require that all deposits be fully collateralized by U.S. Government obligations or obligations of Texas and its agencies that have a market value of not less than the principal amount of the deposits. The City's demand deposits and certificates of deposit were fully insured or collateralized at September 30, 2004, with collateral required by state statutes. Al year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $2,035,906 and the bank balance was $2,324,386. Of the bank balance, federal depository insurance covered $200,000 and the remainder was covered by collateral held by the pledging financial institution's agent in the City's name. The City's petty cash balance at September 30, 2004 was $7,400. The carrying amount of deposits for ACDC and AEDC, discretely presented component units, were $4,104 and $5,798, respectively, with no corresponding bank balances as they are pooled with the City's deposits. Investments — State statutes authorize the City to invest in U.S. Government obligations, obligations of Texas and its agencies and fully collateralized repurchase agreements. 42 I CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ' YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 2. DEPOSITS, INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT POLICIES -continued ' Investments—continued Investments are categorized into three categories as defined by GASB Statement No. 3 to give an indication of the level of risk assumed by the entity at year-end: Category 1 includes investments that are insured or registered or for which the securities are held by the City or its agents in the City's name. Category 2 includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are held by the counterparty's trust department or agent in the Citys name. Category 3 includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are held by the counterparty, or by its trust department or agent but not in the City's name. At September 30, 2004, the City had no Category 2 or 3 investments. The City, AEDC and ACDC invest in Texpool which is an investment fund authorized by the Texas Legislature and administered by the Texas State Treasury. The Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company is trustee of Texpool and is a limited purpose trust company authorized pursuant to Texas Government Code. The purpose of Texpool is to allow for the pooling of public funds to provide a higher yield on the pooled investment than would be possible with the investment of the individual public entity's funds. Texpool investments are subject to the same investment policies maintained by the State Treasury for all state funds. The Legislature has authorized only certain investment instruments for public funds, including repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury bills and bonds, securities of other U.S. government agencies, commercial paper and other safe instruments. The investment in Texpool and any accrued interest may be redeemed at the City's discretion. The City's position in the pool is not materially different from the value of the pool shares. Amounts invested in Texpool, by the City, AEDC and ACDC, respectively, are not categorized in accordance with GASB No. 3 because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form. At September 30, 2004, the City's investment balances were as follows: 43 II Carrying Fair Category Amount Value Other Government Agency Securities 1 $ 30,152,942 $ 30,152,942 Certificates of Deposit Texpool Deposits N/A 7,000,000 38.767.325 7,000,000 38.767.325 aAt year-end, AEDC's investment balances were as follows: $ 75.920 267 Maim Carrying Fair ' Category Amount Value Certificates of Deposit Deposits $ 550,ODO $ 550,000 ' Texpool N/A 3.488.160 $ 4.038160 3.486.160 $ 4.038160 43 II CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTE 2.

LONG-TERM DEBT—continued Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds The City is required by the applicable revenue bond indentures to pledge the net revenues of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund for the retirement of its outstanding revenue bonds, including interest thereon, and is required to maintain debt service funds and bond reserve funds for all such bonds outstanding. Funds aggregating $662,642 at September 30, 2004 are restricted within the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund for servicing of the debt. The respective bond indentures require the City to make equal monthly payments to the restricted accounts to accumulate the annual principal and interest requirements as they become due. Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds and Refunding Bonds are payable solely from and, equally secured by, a first lien on and pledge of the net revenue of the City's combined waterworks and sanitary sewer systems. The ordinances authorizing the Revenue Bonds stipulate that the City will deposit, in addition to principal and interest requirements, certain amounts in a reserve fund. Amounts in the reserve fund are to be used to pay principal and interest on outstanding bonds at any time sufficient funds are not available in the bond interest and redemption fund. The bond indentures require that the City accumulate reserves to an amount equal to the average annual principal and interest requirements of all outstanding bonds secured by the net revenues of the system. Such reserves are funded up to the required level in equal monthly installments over a maximum five-year period, as defined in the indentures. Amounts in the reserve fund at September 30, 2004 of $2,268,025 are adequate to meet the reserve requirements. Debt Defeasance On June 1, 2004, the City issued $6,710,000 in Waterworks and Sewer System Refunding and Improving Bonds with an average interest rate of 4.90 percent, $3,400,000 for various improvements, and $3,310,000 to advance refund $3,310,000 of combined and outstanding 1995 and 1992 Series bonds with an average interest rate of 5.26 percent. The net proceeds were used to purchase U.S. securities that were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent in sufficient amounts to provide for all future payments of the refunded debt. As a result, the refunded debt is considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the Governmental Statement of Net Assets. The City completed the advance refunding to reduce its total debt service payments over the next 4 years by $3,449,698 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the old and new debt service payments) of $81,420. In prior years, the City legally defeased certain outstanding general obligation and revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financial statements. 6*1 ' CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ' YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30.2004 NOTES.

RETIREMENT PLAN Plan Descriotion The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees through a non-traditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the stale -wide Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), one of 794 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple -employer public employee retirement system. Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City - financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percentage (100%, 150%, or 200%) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and City matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members can refire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service regardless of age. A member is vested after 5 years. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes. The pension plan does not issue separate reports on the pension plan. However, TMRS does issue a publicly available report that includes financial statements and supplementary information for the plan as a whole, but not for individual employers. That report can be obtained by writing to: Texas Municipal Retirement System, P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas 78714-9153. Contributions The contribution rate for the employees is 7%, and the City matching ratio is currently 2 to 1, both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary annually determines the City contribution rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits due to the City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his/her retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (over funded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25 -year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. (i.e. December 31, 2003 valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2005). 58 CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 2004 NOTES.

WATER AND SEWER CONTRACTS In 1972, the City entered into a forty -year contract with the North Texas Municipal Water District (District) for the purchase of water. Under the terms of this contract the City is obligated to make a minimum annual payment (adjusted annually) in return for a minimum volume of gallons of water per year. During 1998, the City was annexed into the North Texas Municipal Water District, which guaranteed the City a minimum volume of water. During the year ended September 30, 2004, the cost of water purchased under this contract was $3,841,994. In 1978, the City entered into a contract with the District for the transportation, treatment and disposal of sanitary sewage and other waste. The contract will continue in force at least until all bonds issued by the District pursuant to the contract have been paid in full and will remain in force thereafter throughout the useful life at the District's sanitary sewer system. The contract requires the City to pay varying amounts based on the costs associated with sewage transported and/or treated and disposed of. The cost includes the Chys proportionate share of the District's operating and maintenance expenses and related debt service costs. During 2004, the cost for transportation, treatment and disposal of sewage and other wastes was $3,358,833. NOTE 10. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN As a result of legislative changes, all amounts of compensation deferred, all property and rights purchased, and all income, property or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries, whereas, prior to these legislative changes, these amounts were solely the property and rights of the City subject only to the claims of the City's general creditors. As a result, at September 30, 2004, the deferred compensation investments are not reported in the City's financial statements. NOTE 11. RISK MANAGEMENT The City self -insures its employees and their dependents for medical and dental care up to certain amounts per insured person and in the aggregate. At September 30, 2004, the annual limitation on City health claim expense was $75,000 per person. A third -party insurance company re -insures the City for individual claims in excess of $75,000 up to a lifetime maximum of $2,000,000. The maximum daim for all employees, in the aggregate, is based upon a formula. All claims and maximums are calculated for a plan year ending each December 31. There has been no significant reduction in insurance coverage in prior fiscal years and the amount of claim settlements has not exceeded insurance coverage for the past four fiscal years. Accrued liabilities include provisions for claims reported and claims incurred but not reported. The provision for reported claims is determined by estimating the amount that will ultimately be paid to each claimant. The provision for claims incurred but not yet reported is estimated based on the Citys experience since the inception of the program. Premium payments are reported as interfund services provided and used and, accordingly, are treated as operating revenues of the Risk Management Fund and operating expenditures/expenses of the participating funds.

To cover this risk, the City participates in the Texas Municipal League Joint Self -Insurance Fund (TMLIF) to provide general liability, workers' compensation claims and property insurance. The City, along with other ' participating entities, contributes annual amounts determined by TMLIF management. As claims arise they are submitted to and paid by TMLIF. During 2004, the City contributed $662,913 to the fund for property, general liability, and workers compensation. NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES ' Federal Grants The City participates in a number of State and Federally assisted grant programs. Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, d any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, If any, to be immaterial. ' Litigation ' The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, it is the opinion of the Citys counsel that resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City. Economic Development Grant The City has entered into an economic development agreement whereby it has agreed to pay a gram to a developer in return for the developer designing, constructing, operating, and managing a retail shopping center. The grant is calculated at $22 par gross leasable square feet up to a maximum of 458,000 square feet. The grant is payable solely from sales tax receipts imposed by the City, AEDC, and ACDC, attributed only to sales by retailers at the retail shopping center for a period not to exceed 15 years from the date of certificate of occupancy. If the developer has not completed a minimum of 418,000 square feet within six years after the commencement of construction, then the City is no longer obligated to make any future grant payments. The developer had completed construction of 346,590 square feet of the retail shopping center as of September 30, 2004. 14l C'TY OF P`L�.

Each year the City Manager is required to submit to the City Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayers' comments. 3. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance. 4. Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund and Debt Service Fund on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Formal budgetary integration is not employed for proprietary funds. However, the City does adopt an annual budget for those funds for managerial control. 5. The City Manager is authorized to adjust budgeted amounts; however, such revisions may not result in total expenditures (appropriations) in excess of budgeted expenditures without approval of the City Council.

COPYRIGHT e2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' AU Section 316 ' Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit (Supersedes SAS No. 82) ' Source: SAS No. 99. ' Effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2002. ' Introduction and Overview .01 Section 110, Responsibilities and Functions ofthe Independent Auditor, paragraph .02, states, ' "The auditor has a responsibility to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. [footnote omitted]" fn 1(1) This section establishes standards and provides guidance to ' auditors in fulfilling that responsibility, as it relates to fraud, in an audit of financial statements conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GRAS). fn 2(2) ' .02 The following is an overview of the organization and content of this section: ' Description and characteristics offraud. This section describes laud and its characteristics. (See paragraphs .05 through .12.) • The importance of exercising professional skepticism. This section discusses the need for ' auditors to exercise professional skepticism when considering the possibility that a material misstatement due to fraud could be present. (See paragraph .13.) t Discussion among engagement personnel regarding the risks ofmaterial misstatement due to fraud. This section requires, as part of planning the audit, that there be a discussion among the audit team members to consider how and where the entity's ' financial statements might be susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud and to reinforce the importance of adopting an appropriate mindset of professional skepticism. ' (See paragraphs .14 through .18.) Obtaining the information needed to identify risks of material misstatement due tofraud. This section requires the auditor to gather information necessary to identify risks of ' material misstatement due to fraud, by a. Inquiring of management and others within the entity about the risks of fraud. ' (See paragraphs .20 through .27.) b. Considering the results of the analytical procedures performed in planning the ' audit (See paragraphs .28 through .30.) C. Considering fraud risk factors. (See paragraphs .31 through .33, and the R.•IsW Jon. 2004 ' COPYRIGHT O SWI, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' Appendix, "Examples of Fraud Risk Factors" [paragraph .85].) d. Considering certain other information. (See paragraph .34.) • Identifying risks that may result in a material misstatement due to fraud This section requires the auditor to use the information gathered to identify risks that may result in a material misstatement due to fraud. (See paragraphs .35 through .42.) ' Assessing the identified risks after taking into account an evaluation of the entity's programs and controls. This section requires the auditor to evaluate the entity's programs ' and controls that address the identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud, and to assess the risks taking into account this evaluation (See paragraphs .43 through .45.) ' Responding to the results of the assessment. This section emphasizes that the auditor's response to the risks of material misstatement due to fraud involves the application of professional skepticism when gathering and evaluating audit evidence. (See paragraph ' .46 through .49.) The section requires the auditor to respond to the results of the risk assessment in three ways: t a. A response that has an overall effect on how the audit is conducted, that is, a response involving more general considerations apart from the specific procedures otherwise planned (See paragraph .50.) ' b. A response to identified risks that involves the nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures to be performed (See paragraphs .51 through .56.) 'C. A response involving the performance of certain procedures to f i thet address the risk of material misstatement due to fraud involving management override of ' controls. (See paragraphs .57 through .67.) • Evaluating audit evidence. This section requires the auditor to assess the risks of material ' misstatement due to fraud throughout the audit and to evaluate at the completion of the audit whether the accumulated results of auditing procedures and other observations affect the assessment (See paragraphs .68 through .74.) It also requires the auditor to ' consider whether identified misstatements may be indicative of fraud and, if so, directs the auditor to evaluate their implications. (See paragraphs .75 through .78.) ' Communicating about fraud to management, the audit committee, and others. This section provides guidance regarding the auditor's communications about fraud to management, the audit committee, and others. (See paragraphs .79 through .82.) ' Documenting the auditor's consideration offraud This section describes related documentation requirements. (See paragraph .83.) .03 The requirements and guidance set forth in this section are intended to be integrated into an overall audit process, in a logical manner that is consistent with the requirements and guidance provided in other sections, including section 311, Planning and Supervision; section 312, Audit Risk and Materiality in Conducting an Audit,, and section 319, Consideration oflnternal Control ' in a Financial Statement Audit. Even though some requirements and guidance set forth in this RMma J.m M4 i 1 ' COPYRIGHT 03001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PURUC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' section are presented in a manner that suggests a sequential audit process, auditing in fact involves a continuous process of gathering, updating, and analyzing information throughout the audit Accordingly the sequence of the requirements and guidance in this section may be ' implemented differently among audit engagements. .04 Although this section focuses on the auditor's consideration of fraud in an audit of financial ' statements, it is management's responsibility to design and implement programs and controls to prevent, deter, and detect fraud. fn 3(3) That responsibility is described in section 110.03, which states, "Management is responsible for adopting sound accounting policies and for establishing tand maintaining internal control that will, among other things, initiate, record, process, and report transactions (as well as events and conditions) consistent with managements assertions ' embodied in the financial statements." Management, along with those who have responsibility for oversight of the financial reporting process (such as the audit committee, board of trustees, board of directors, or the owner in owner -managed entities), should set the proper tone; create ' and maintain a culture of honesty and high ethical standards; and establish appropriate controls to prevent, deter, and detect fraud. Wben management and those responsible for the oversight of the financial reporting process fulfill those responsibilities, the opportunities to commit fraud can ' be reduced significantly. ' Description and Characteristics of Fraud .05 Fraud is a broad legal concept and auditors do not make legal determinations of whether fraud ' has occurred Rather, the auditor's interest specifically relates to acts that result in a material misstatement of the financial statements. The primary factor that distinguishes fraud from error is whether the underlying action that results in the misstatement of the financial statements is intentional or unintentional. For purposes of the section, fraud is an intentional act that results in a material misstatement in financial statements that are the subject of an audit fin 4(4) .06 Two types of misstatements are relevant to the auditor's consideration of fraud—misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting and misstatements arising from misappropriation of ' assets. • Misstatements arisingfrom fraudulentfnancial reporting are intentional misstatements ' or omissions of amounts or disclosures in financial statements designed to deceive financial statement users where the effect causes the financial statements not to be presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting ' principles (GAAP). fn 5(5) Fraudulent financial reporting may be accomplished by the following: — Manipulation, falsification, or alteration of accounting records or supporting documents from which financial statements are prepared Misrepresentation in or intentional omission from the financial statements of ' events, transactions, or other significant information — Intentional misapplication of accounting principles relating to amounts, Revbed hm 204 3 1 1 t 1 1 COPYRIGHT 030K AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) classification, manner of presentation, or disclosure Fraudulent financial reporting need not be the result of a grand plan or conspiracy. It may be that management representatives rationalize the appropriateness of a material misstatement, for example, as an aggressive rather than indefensible interpretation of complex accounting riles, or as a temporary misstatement of financial statements, including interim statements, expected to be corrected later when operational results improve. Misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets (sometimes referred to as theft or defalcation) involve the theft of an entity's assets where the effect of the theft causes the financial statements not to be presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP. Misappropriation of assets can be accomplisbed in various ways, including embezzling receipts, stealing assets, or causing an entity to pay for goods or services that have not been received Misappropriation of assets may be accompanied by false or misleading records or documents, possibly created by circumventing controls. The scope of this section includes only those misappropriations of assets for which the effect of the misappropriation causes the financial statements not to be fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP. .07 Three conditions generally are present when fraud occurs. First, management or other employees have an incentive or are under pressure, which provides a reason to commit fraud Second, circumstances exist—for example, the absence of controls, ineffective controls, or the ability of management to override controls that provide an opportunity for a fraud to be perpetrated. Third, those involved are able to rationalize committing a fraudulent act Some individuals possess an attitude, character, or set of ethical values that allow them to knowingly and intentionally commit a dishonest acL However, even otherwise honest individuals can commit fraud in an environment that imposes sufficient pressure on them. The greater the incentive or pressure, the more likely an individual will be able to rationalize the acceptability of committing feud .Og Management has a unique ability to perpetrate fraud because it frequently is in a position to directly or indirectly manipulate accounting records and present fraudulent financial information. Fraudulent financial reporting often involves management override of controls that otherwise may appear to be operating effectively. in 6(6) Management can either direct employees to perpetrate fraud or solicit their help in carrying it ouL In addition, management personnel at a component of the entity may be in a position to manipulate the accounting records of the component in a manner that causes a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. Management override of controls can occur in unpredictable ways. .09 Typically, management and employees engaged in fraud will take steps to conceal the fraud from the auditors and others within and outside the organization. Fraud may be concealed by withholding evidence or misrepresenting information in response to inquiries or by falsifying documentation. For example, management that engages in fraudulent financial reporting might alter shipping documents. Employees or members of management who misappropriate cash might try to conceal their thefts by forging signatures or falsifying electronic approvals on Rvf J.m 5001 ' COPYRIGHT a 20K AMERICAN PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) disbursement authorizations. An audit conducted in accordance with GAAS rarely involves the authentication of such documentation, nor are auditors trained as or expected to be experts in such authentication. In addition, an auditor may not discover the existence of a modification of documentation through a side agreement that management or a third party has not disclosed .10 Freud also may be concealed through collusion among management, employees, or third parties. Collusion may cause the auditor who has properly performed the audit to conclude that evidence provided is persuasive when it is, in fact, false. For example, through collusion, false evidence that controls have been operating effectively may be presented to the auditor, or consistent misleading explanations may be given to the auditor by more than one individual within the entity to explain an unexpected result of an analytical procedure. As another example, tate auditor may receive a false confirmation from a third party that is in collusion with management. .11 Although fraud usually is concealed and managements intent is difficult to determine, the presence of certain conditions may suggest to the auditor the possibility that fraud may exist. For example, an important contract may be missing, a subsidiary ledger may not be satisfactorily reconciled to its control account, or the results of an analytical procedure performed during the audit may not be consistent with expectations. However, these conditions may be the result of circumstances other than fraud Documents may legitimately have been lost or misfiled; the subsidiary ledger may be out of balance with its control account because of an unintentional accounting error, and unexpected analytical relationships may be the result of unanticipated changes in underlying economic factors. Even reports of alleged fraud may not always be reliable because an employee or outsider may be mistaken or may be motivated for unknown reasons to make a false allegation. .12 As indicated in paragraph .01, the auditor has a responsibility to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. fn 7(7) However, absolute assurance is not attainable and thus even a properly planned and performed audit may not detect a material misstatement resulting from fraud. A material misstatement may not be detected because of the nature of audit evidence or because the characteristics of fraud as discussed above may cause the auditor to rely unknowingly on audit evidence that appears to be valid, but is, in fact, false and fraudulent. Furthermore, audit procedures that are effective for detecting an error may be ineffective for detecting fraud. The Importance of Exercising Professional Skepticism .13 Due professional care requires the auditor to exercise professional skepticism. See section 230, Due Professional Care in the Performance of Work, paragraphs .07 through .09. Because of the characteristics of fraud, the auditor's exercise of professional skepticism is important when considering the risk of material misstatement due to fraud Professional skepticism is an attitude that includes a questioning mind and a critical assessment of audit evidence. The auditor should conduct the engagement with a mindset that recognizes the possibility that a material misstatement due to fraud could be present, regardless of any past experience with the entity and COFYRIGRT O26W, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERMIED TUBUC ACCOUNTAN7s(AICFA) regardless of the auditor's belief about management's honesty and integrity. Furthermore, professional skepticism requires an ongoing questioning of whether the information and evidence obtained suggests that a material misstatement due to fraud has occurred. In exercising professional skepticism in gathering and evaluating evidence, the auditor should not be satisfied with less -than -persuasive evidence because of a belief that management is honest. Discussion Among Engagement Personnel Regarding the Risks of Material Misstatement Due to Fraud .14 Prior to or in conjunction with the information -gathering procedures described in paragraphs .19 through .34 of this section, members of the audit team should discuss the potential for material misstatement due to fraud. The discussion should include: An exchange of ideas or "brainstorming" among the audit team members, including the auditor with final responsibility for the audit, about how and where they believe the entity's financial statements might be susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud, how management could perpetrate and conceal fraudulent financial reporting, and how assets of the entity could be misappropriated (See paragraph .15.) An emphasis on the importance of maintaining the proper state of mind throughout the audit regarding the potential for material misstatement due to fraud (See paragraph .16.) .15 The discussion among the audit team members about the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement due to fraud should include a consideration of the known external and internal factors affecting the entity that might (a) create incentives/pressures for management and others to commit fraud, (b) provide the opportunity for fraud to be perpetrated, and (c) indicate a culture or environment that enables management to rationalize committing fraud The discussion should occur with an attitude that includes a questioning mind as described in paragraph .16 and, for this purpose, setting aside any prior beliefs the audit team members may have that management is honest and has integrity. In this regard, the discussion should include a consideration of the risk of management override of controls. fir 8(8) Finally, the discussion should include how the auditor might respond to the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement due to fraud .16 The discussion among the audit team members should emphasize the need to maintain a questioning mind and to exercise professional skepticism in gathering and evaluating evidence throughout the audit, as described in paragraph .13. This should lead the audit team members to continually be alert for information or other conditions (such as those presented in paragraph .68) that indicate a material misstatement due to fraud may have occurred. It should also lead audit team members to thoroughly probe the issues, acquire additional evidence as necessary, and consult with other team members and, if appropriate, experts in the firm, rather than rationalize or dismiss information or other conditions that indicate a material misstatement due to fraud may have occurred. .17 Although professional judgment should be used in determining which audit team members P --A" l"u 2FW 6 COPYRIGRT02M, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTMED PUBLIC ACCOUMrANTS (AICPA) should be included in the discussion, the discussion ordinarily should involve the key members of the audit team A number of factors will influence the extent of the discussion and how it should occur. For example, if the audit involves more than one location, there could be multiple discussions with team members in differing locations. Another factor to consider in planning the discussions is whether to include specialists assigned to the audit team. For example, if the auditor has determined that a professional possessing information technology skills is needed on the audit team (see section 319.32), it may be useful to include that individual in the discussion. .18 Communication among the audit team members about the risks of material misstatement due to fraud also should continue throughout the audit—for example, in evaluating the risks of material misstatement due to fraud at or new the completion of the field work. (See paragraph .74 and footnote 28.) Obtaining the Information Needed to Identify the Risks of Material Misstatement Due to Fraud .19 Section 311.06-.08 provides guidance about how the auditor obtains knowledge about the entity's business and the industry in which it operates. In performing that work, information may come to the auditor's attention that should be considered in identifying risks of material misstatement due to fraud. As part of this work, the auditor should perform the following procedures to obtain information that is used (as described in paragraphs .35 through .42) to identify the risks of material misstatement due to fraud: a. Make inquiries of management and others within the entity to obtain their views about the risks of fraud and bow they are addressed. (See paragraphs .20 through .27.) b. Consider any unusual or unexpected relationships that have been identified in performing analytical procedures in planning the audit. (See paragraphs .28 through .30.) C. Consider whether one or more fraud risk factors exist. (See paragraphs .31 through .33, and the Appendix [paragraph .85).) d. Consider other information that may be helpful in the identification of risks of material misstatement due to fraud. (See paragraph .34.) Making Inquiries of Management and Others Within the Entity About the Risks of Fraud .20 The auditor should inquire of management about: fn 9(9) • Whether management has knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity • Whether management is aware of allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity, for example, received in communications from employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, short sellers, or others • Management's understanding about the risks of fraud in the entity, including any specific Real J..e 2004 COPYRIGHT 0 20K AMERICAN INS71TUTF OF CERTIFEEn PUBUC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' fraud risks the entity has identified or account balances or classes of transactions for which a risk of fraud may be likely to exist • Programs and controls fn 10(10) the entity has established to mitigate specific fraud risks ' the entity has identified, or that otherwise help to prevent, deter, and detect fraud, and how management monitors those programs and controls. For examples of programs and controls an entity may implement to prevent, deter, and detect fraud, see the exhibit titled "Management Antifraud Programs and Controls" [paragraph .86] at the end of this section. ' For an entity with multiple locations, (a) the nature and extent of monitoring of operating locations or business segments, and (b) whether there are particular operating locations or ' business segments for which a risk of fraud may be more likely to exist Whether and how management communicates to employees its views on business practices and ethical behavior ' .21 The inquiries of management also should include whether management has reported to the audit ' committee or others with equivalent authority and responsibility fn 11(11) (hereafter referred to as the audit committee) on how the entity's internal control fn 12(12) serves to prevent, deter, or detect material misstatements due to fraud. .22 The auditor also should inquire directly of the audit committee (or at least its chair) regarding the audit committee's views about the risks of fraud and whether the audit committee has knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity. An entity's audit committee sometimes assumes an active role in oversight of the entity's assessment of the risks of fraud and the programs and controls the entity has established to mitigate these risks. The auditor should obtain an understanding of how the audit committee exercises oversight activities in that area. .23 For entities that have an internal audit function, the auditor also should inquire of appropriate internal audit personnel about their views about the risks of fraud, whether they have performed any procedures to identify or detect fraud during the year, whether management has satisfactorily ' responded to any findings resulting from these procedures, and whether the internal auditors have knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud. ' .24 In addition to the inquiries outlined in paragraphs .20 through .23, the auditor should inquire of others within the entity about the existence or suspicion of fraud. The auditor should use ' professional judgment to determine those others within the entity to whom inquiries should be directed and the extent of such inquiries. In making this determination, the auditor should consider whether others within the entity may be able to provide information that will be helpful to the auditor in identifying risks of material misstatement due to fraud—for example, others who may have additional knowledge about or be able to corroborate risks of fraud identified in ' the discussions with management (see paragraph .20) or the audit committee (see paragraph .22). .25 Examples of others within the entity to whom the auditor may wish to direct these inquiries ■ include: R.i d J.. 20W COPYRIGHT 02001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' Employees with varying levels of authority within the entity, including, for example, entity personnel with whom the auditor comes into contact during the course of the audit in obtaining (a) an understanding of the entity's systems and internal control, (b) in ' observing inventory or performing cutoff procedures, or (c) in obtaining explanations for fluctuations noted as a result of analytical procedures Operating personnel not directly involved in the financial reporting process Employees involved in initiating, recording, or processing complex or unusual transactions—for example, a sales transaction with multiple elements, or a significant related party transaction • In-house legal counsel .26 The auditor's inquiries of management and others within the entity are important because fraud often is uncovered through information received in response to inquiries. One reason for this is that such inquiries may provide individuals with an opportunity to convey information to the auditor that otherwise might not be communicated. Making inquiries of others within the entity, in addition to management, may be useful in providing the auditor with a perspective that is different from that of individuals involved in the financial reporting process. The responses to these other inquiries might serve to corroborate responses received from management, or alternatively, might provide information regarding the possibility of management override of controls—for example, a response from an employee indicating an unusual change in the way transactions have been processed In addition, the auditor may obtain information from these inquiries regarding how effectively management has communicated standards of ethical behavior to individuals throughout the organization. .27 The auditor should be aware when evaluating management's responses to the inquiries discussed in paragraph .20 that management is often in the best position to perpetrate fraud The auditor should use professional judgment in deciding when it is necessary to corroborate responses to inquiries with other information. However, when responses are inconsistent among inquiries, the auditor should obtain additional audit evidence to resolve the inconsistencies. Considering the Results of the Analytical Procedures Performed in Planning the Audit .28 Section 329, Analytical Procedures, paragraphs .04 and .06, requires that analytical procedures be performed in planning the audit with an objective of identifying the existence of unusual transactions or events, and amounts, ratios, and trends that might indicate matters that have financial statement and audit planning implications. In performing analytical procedures in planning the audit, the auditor develops expectations about plausible relationships that are reasonably expected to exist, based on the auditor's understanding of the entity and its environment When comparison of those expectations with recorded amounts or ratios developed from recorded amounts yields unusual or unexpected relationships, the auditor should consider those results in identifying the risks of material misstatement due to fraud .29 In planning the audit, the auditor also should perform analytical procedures relating to revenue RabW 7..e 2001 9 ' COPYRIGHT 020M, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) ' with the objective of identifying unusual or unexpected relationships involving revenue accounts that may indicate a material misstatement due to fraudulent financial reporting. An example of such an analytical procedure that addresses this objective is a comparison of sales volume, as determined from recorded revenue amounts, with production capacity. An excess of sales volume over production capacity may be indicative of recording fictitious sales. As another example, a trend analysis of revenues by month and sales returns by month during and shortly ' after the reporting period may indicate the existence of undisclosed side agreements with customers to return goods that would preclude revenue recognition. in 13(13) 30 Analytical procedures performed during planning may be helpful in identifying the risks of material misstatement due to fraud However, because such analytical procedures generally use ' data aggregated at a high level, the results of those analytical procedures provide only a broad initial indication about whether a material misstatement of the financial statements may exist Accordingly, the results of analytical procedures performed during planning should be ' considered along with other information gathered by the auditor in identifying the risks of material misstatement due to fraud ' Considering Fraud Risk Factors 31 Because fraud is usually concealed, material misstatements due to fraud are difficult to detect Nevertheless, the auditor may identify events or conditions that indicate incentives/pressures to perpetrate fraud, opportunities to carry out the fraud, or attitudes/rationalizations to justify a ' fraudulent action. Such events or conditions are referred to as "fraud risk factors." Fraud risk factors do not necessarily indicate the existence of Saud; however, they often are present in circumstances where fraud exists. 32 When obtaining information about the entity and its environment, the auditor should consider whether the information indicates that one or more fraud risk factors are present The auditor should use professional judgment in determining whether a risk factor is present and should be considered in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement due to fraud ' 33 Examples of fraud risk factors related to fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of ' assets are presented in the Appendix [paragraph .85]. These illustrative risk factors are classified based on the three conditions generally present when fraud exists: incentivelpressure to perpetrate fraud, an opportunity to carry out the fraud, and attitude/rationalization to justify the fraudulent action. Although the risk factors cover a broad range of situations, they are only examples and, accordingly, the auditor may wish to consider additional or different risk factors. Not all of these examples are relevant in all circumstances, and some may be of greater or lesser significance in entities of different size or with different ownership characteristics or circumstances. Also, the order of the examples of risk factors provided is not intended to reflect ' their relative importance or frequency of occurrence. Considering Other Information That May Be Helpful in Identifying Risks of Material Misstatement Due to Fraud Reeked Jex 20M 18 1 1 1 t 1 COPYRICHT 0 2001, AMERICAN INS71TUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT'S (AICPA) 34 The auditor should consider other information that may be helpful in identifying risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Specifically, the discussion among the engagement team members (see paragraphs .14 through .18) may provide information helpful in identifying such risks. In addition, the auditor should consider whether information from the results of (a) procedures relating to the acceptance and continuance of clients and engagements 1n 14(14) and (b) reviews of interim financial statements may be relevant in the identification of such risks. Finally, as part of the consideration of audit risk at the individual account balance or class of transaction level (see section 312.24 through .33), the auditor should consider whether identified inherent risks would provide useful information in identifying the risks of material misstatement due to fraud (see paragraph .39). Identifying Risks That May Result in a Material Misstatement Due to Fraud Using the Information Gathered to Identify Risk of Material Misstatements Due to Fraud 35 In identifying risks of material misstatement due to fraud, it is helpful for the auditor to consider the information that has been gathered (see paragraphs .19 through .34) in the context of the three conditions present when a material misstatement due to fraud occurs—that is, incentives/pressures, opportunities, and attitudes/rationalizations (see paragraph .07). However, the auditor should not assume that all three conditions must be observed or evident before concluding that there are identified risks. Although the risk of material misstatement due to fraud may be greatest when all three fraud conditions are observed or evident, the auditor cannot assume that the inability to observe one or two of these conditions means there is no risk of material misstatement due to fraud. In fact, observing that individuals have the requisite attitude to commit fraud, or identifying factors that indicate a likelihood that management or other employees will rationalize committing a fraud, is difficult at best 36 In addition, the extent to which each of the three conditions referred to above are present when fraud occurs may vary. In some instances the significance of incentives/pressures may result in a risk of material misstatement due to fraud, apart from the significance of the other two conditions. For example, an incentive/pressure to achieve an earnings level to preclude a loan default, or to "trigger" incentive compensation plan awards, may alone result in a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. In other instances, an easy opportunity to commit the fraud because of a lack of controls may be the dominant condition precipitating the risk of fraud, or an individual's attitude or ability to rationalize unethical actions may be sufficient to motivate that individual to engage in fraud, even in the absence of significant inoentives/pressures or opportunities. 37 The auditor's identification of fraud risks also may be influenced by characteristics such as the size, complexity, and ownership attributes of the entity. For example, in the case of a larger entity, the auditor ordinarily considers factors that generally constrain improper conduct by management, such as the effectiveness of the audit committee and the internal audit function, and the existence and enforcement of a formal code of conduct In the case of a smaller entity, R,A,s J"ne 2001 u ' COPYRIGHT m 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) some or all of these considerations may be inapplicable or less important, and management may ' have developed a culture that emphasizes the importance of integrity and ethical behavior through oral communication and management by example. Also, the risks of material ' misstatement due to fraud may vary among operating locations or business segments of an entity, requiring an identification of the risks related to specific geographic areas or business segments, as well as for the entity as a whole, fn 15(15) 1 38 The auditor should evaluate whether identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud can be related to specific financial -statement account balances or classes of transactions and related ' assertions, or whether they relate more pervasively to the financial statements as a whole. Relating the risks of material misstatement due to fraud to the individual accounts, classes of transactions, and assertions will assist the auditor in subsequently designing appropriate auditing procedures. ' 39 Certain accounts, classes of transactions, and assertions that have high inherent risk because they involve a high degree of management judgment and subjectivity also may present risks of material misstatement due to fraud because they are susceptible to manipulation by management. For example, liabilities resulting from a restructuring may be deemed to have high inherent risk because of the high degree of subjectivity and management judgment involved in their estimation. Similarly, revenues for software developers may be deemed to have high inherent risk because of the complex accounting principles applicable to the recognition and measurement of software revenue transactions. Assets resulting from investing activities may be deemed to ' have high inherent risk because of the subjectivity and management judgment involved in estimating fair values of those investments. .40 In summary, the identification of a risk of material misstatement due to fraud involves the application of professional judgment and includes the consideration of the attributes of the risk, including: The type of risk that may exist, that is, whether it involves fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets ' The significance of the risk, that is, whether it is of a magnitude that could lead to result in a possible material misstatement of the financial statements 1 The likelihood of the risk, that is, the likelihood that it will result in a material misstatement in the financial statements fn 16(16) ' The pervasiveness of the risk, that is, whether the potential risk is pervasive to the financial statements as a whole or specifically related to a particular assertion, account, or ' class of transactions. A Presumption That Improper Revenue Recognition Is a Fraud Risk ' .41 Material misstatements due to fraudulent fmancial reporting often result from an overstatement of revenues (for example, through premature revenue recognition or recording fictitious - Rev )one 2004 12 ' COPYRIGHT 0 ZM, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) revenues) or an understatement of revenues (for example, through improperly shifting revenues ' to a later period). Therefore, the auditor should ordinarily presume that there is a risk of material misstatement due to fraud relating to revenue recognition. (See paragraph .54 for examples of ' auditing procedures related to the risk of improper revenue recognition.) fin 17(17) A Consideration of the Risk of Management Override of Controls ' .42 Even if specific risks of material misstatement due to fraud are not identified by the auditor, ' there is a possibility that management override of controls could occur, and accordingly, the auditor should address that risk (see paragraph .57) apart from any conclusions regarding the existence of more specifically identifiable risks. ' Assessing the Identified Risks After Taking Into Account an Evaluation of the ' Entity's Programs and Controls That Address the Risks .43 Section 319 require's the auditor to obtain an understanding of each of the five components of internal control sufficient to plan the audit. It also notes that such knowledge should be used to identify types of potential misstatements, consider factors that affect the risk of material misstatement, design tests of controls when applicable, and design substantive tests. Additionally, section 319 notes that controls, whether manual or automated, can be circumvented by collusion of two or more people or inappropriate management override of internal control. .44 As part of the understanding of internal control sufficient to plan the audit, the auditor should evaluate whether entity programs and controls that address identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud have been suitably designed and placed in operation. fa 18(18) These programs and controls may involve (a) specific controls designed to mitigate specific risks of fraud—for example, controls to address specific assets susceptible to misappropriation, and (6) broader programs designed to prevent, deter, and detect fraud—for example, programs to promote a culture of honesty and ethical behavior. The auditor should consider whether such programs and controls mitigate the identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud or whether specific control deficiencies may exacerbate the risks (see paragraph .80). The exhibit at the end of this section [paragraph .88] discusses examples of programs and controls an entity might implement to create a culture of honesty and ethical behavior, and that help to prevent, deter, and detect fraud. .45 After the auditor has evaluated whether the entity's programs and controls that address identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud have been suitably designed and placed in operation, ' the auditor should assess these risks taking into account that evaluation. This assessment should be considered when developing the auditor's response to the identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud (see paragraphs .46 through .67). fn 19(19) ' Responding to the Results of the Assessment Redact love 2M 13 ' COPYRIGRT 02W4, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) t .46 The auditor's response to the assessment of the risks of material misstatement due to fraud involves the application of professional skepticism in gathering and evaluating audit evidence. As noted in paragraph .13, professional skepticism is an attitude that includes a critical ' assessment of the competency and sufficiency of audit evidence. Examples of the application of professional skepticism in response to the risks of material misstatement due to fraud are (a) designing additional or different auditing procedures to obtain more reliable evidence in support ' of specified financial statement account balances, classes of transactions, and related assertions, and (b) obtaining additional corroboration of management's explanations or representations ' concerning material matters, such as through third -party confirmation, the use of a specialist, analytical procedures, examination of documentation from independent sources, or inquiries of others within or outside the entity. .47 The auditor's response to the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud is influenced by the nature and significance of the risks identified as 1 being present (paragraphs .35 through .42) and the entity's programs and controls that address these identified risks (paragraphs .43 through .45). ' .48 The auditor responds to risks of material misstatement due to fraud in the following three ways: ' a. A response that has an overall effect on how the audit is conducted—that is, a response involving more general considerations apart from the specific procedures otherwise planned (see paragraph .50). ' b. A response to identified risks involving the nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures to be performed (see paragraphs .51 through .56). 'C. A response involving the performance of certain procedures to further address the risk of material misstatement due to feud involving management override of controls, given the unpredictable ways in which such override could occur (see paragraphs .57 through .67). .49 The auditor may conclude that it would not be practicable to design auditing procedures that sufficiently address the risks of material misstatement due to fraud. In that case; withdrawal from the engagement with communication to the appropriate parties may be an appropriate course of action (see paragraph .78). r Overall Responses to the Risk of Material Misstatement ■ .50 Judgments about the risk of material misstatement due to fraud have an overall effect on how the taudit is conducted in the following ways: • Assignment ofpersonnel and supervision. The knowledge, skill, and ability of personnel assigned significant engagement responsibilities should be commensurate with the auditor's assessment of the risks of material misstatement due to fraud for the engagement (see section 210, Training and Proficiency of the Independent Auditor, paragraph .03). For example, the auditor may respond to an identified risk of material misstatement due Rev Jane 2004 14 C COPYRIGHT 02M. AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' to fraud by assigning additional persons with specialized skill and knowledge, such as forensic and information technology (IT) specialists, or by assigning more experienced personnel to the engagement. In addition, the extent of supervision should reflect the ' risks of material misstatement due to fraud (see section 311.11). Accountingprinciples. The auditor should consider management's selection and ' application of significant accounting principles, particularly those related to subjective measurements and complex transactions. In this respect, the auditor may have a greater concern about whether the accounting principles selected and policies adopted are being ' applied in an inappropriate manner to create a material misstatement of the financial statements. In developing judgments about the quality of such principles (see section 380, Communication With Audit Committees, paragraph .11), the auditor should consider ' whether their collective application indicates a bias that may create such a material misstatement of the financial statements. ' Predictability ojauditing procedures. The auditor should incorporate an element of unpredictability in the selection from year to year of auditing procedures to be performed—for example, performing substantive tests of selected account balances and assertions not otherwise tested due to their materiality or risk, adjusting the timing of testing from that otherwise expected, using differing sampling methods, and performing procedures at different locations or at locations on an unannounced basis. Responses Involving the Nature, Timing, and Extent of Procedures to Be Performed to Address the Identified Risks .51 The auditing procedures performed in response to identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud will vary depending upon the types of risks identified and the account balances, classes of transactions, and related assertions that may be affected. These procedures may involve both substantive tests and tests of the operating effectiveness of the entity's programs and controls. However, because management may have the ability to override controls that otherwise appear ■ to be operating effectively (see paragraph .08), it is unlikely that audit risk can be reduced to an appropriately low level by performing only tests of controls. .52 The auditor's responses to address specifically identified risks of material misstatement due to fraud may include changing the nature, timing, and extent of auditing procedures in the following ways: • The nature of auditing procedures performed may need to be changed to obtain evidence that is more reliable or to obtain additional corroborative information. For example, more evidential matter may be needed from independent sources outside the entity, such as public -record information about the existence and nature of key customers, vendors, or f counterparties in a major transaction. Also, physical observation or inspection of certain assets may become more important (see section 326, Evidential Matter, paragraphs .15 ` through .21). Furthermore, the auditor may choose to employ computer-assisted audit techniques to gather more extensive evidence about data contained in significant accounts or electronic transaction files. Finally, inquiry of additional members of management or others may be belpful in identifying issues and corroborating other ReAW J...N 4 Is C COPYRIGHT O 2061, AMERICAN INS JTUTE OF CEX7IFIM PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT& (AICPA) evidential matter (see paragraphs .24 through .26 and paragraph .53). The timing of substantive tests may need to be modified The auditor might conclude that substantive testing should be performed at or near the end of the reporting period to best address an identified risk of material misstatement due to fraud (see section 313, Substantive Tests Prior to the Balance -Sheet Date). That is, the auditor might conclude that, given the risks of intentional misstatement or manipulation, tests to extend audit conclusions from an interim date to the period -end reporting date would not be effective. In contrast, because an intentional misstatement—for example, a misstatement involving inappropriate revenue recognition—may have been initiated in an interim period, the auditor might elect to apply substantive tests to transactions occurring earlier in or throughout the reporting period. The extent of the procedures applied should reflect the assessment of the risks of material misstatement due to fraud For example, increasing sample sizes or performing analytical procedures at a more detailed level may be appropriate (see section 350, Audit Sampling, paragraph .23, and section 329). Also, computer-assisted audit techniques may enable more extensive testing of electronic transactions and account files. Such techniques can be used to select sample transactions from key electronic files, to sort transactions with specific characteristics, or to test an entire population instead of a sample. .53 The following are examples of modification of the nature, timing, and extent of tests in response to identified risks of material misstatements due to fraud ' Performing procedures at locations on a surprise or unannounced basis, for example, observing inventory on unexpected dates or at unexpected locations or counting cash on a ' surprise basis. • Requesting that inventories be counted at the end of the reporting period or on a date closer to period end to minimize the risk of manipulation of balances in the period between the date of completion of the count and the end of the reporting period ' Making oral inquiries of major customers and suppliers in addition to sending written confirmations, or sending confirmation requests to a specific party within an organization • Performing substantive analytical procedures using disaggregated data, for example, comparing gross profit or operating margins by location, line of business, or month to auditor -developed expectations. fn 20(20) • Interviewing personnel involved in activities in areas where a risk of material misstatement due to fraud has been identified to obtain their insights about the risk and bow controls address the risk (also see paragraph .24). • If other independent auditors are auditing the financial statements of one or more subsidiaries, divisions, of branches, discussing with them the extent of work that needs to be performed to address the risk of material misstatement due to fraud resulting from transactions and activities among these components.

Because revenue recognition is dependent on the particular facts and circumstances, as well as accounting principles and practices that can vary by industry, the auditor ordinarily will develop auditing procedures based on the auditor's understanding of the entity and its environment, including the composition of revenues, specific attributes of the revenue transactions, and unique industry considerations. If there is an identified risk of material misstatement due to fraud that involves improper revenue recognition, the auditor also may want to consider. t — Performing substantive analytical procedures relating to revenue using disaggregated data, for example, comparing revenue reported by month and by product line or business segment during the current reporting period with comparable prior periods. Computer-assisted audit techniques may be useful in ' identifying unusual or unexpected revenue relationships or transactions. — Confirming with customers certain relevant contract terms and the absence of side agreements, because the appropriate accounting often is influenced by such terms or agreements. fn 21(2 1) For example, acceptance criteria, delivery and payment ' terms, the absence of future or continuing vendor obligations, the right to return the product, guaranteed resale amounts, and cancellation or refund provisions often are relevant in such circumstances. ' — Inquiring of the entity's sales and marketing personnel or in-house legal counsel regarding sales or shipments near the end of the period and their knowledge of any unusual terms or conditions associated with these transactions. — Being physically present at one or more locations at period end to observe goods ' being shipped or being readied for shipment (or returns awaiting processing) and performing other appropriate sales and inventory cutoff procedures. — For those situations for which revenue transactions are electronically initiated, processed, and recorded, testing controls to determine whether they provide assurance that recorded revenue transactions occurred and are properly recorded ' Inventory quantities. If there is an identified risk of material misstatement due to fraud that affects inventory quantities, examining the entity's inventory records may help identify locations or items that require specific attention during or after the physical inventory count. Such a review may lead to a decision to observe inventory counts at certain locations on an unannounced basis (see paragraph .53) or to conduct inventory counts at all locations on the same date. In addition, it may be appropriate for inventory ' counts to be conducted at or near the end of the reporting period to minimithe risk of inappropriate manipulation during the period between the count and the end of the ' reporting period Pwind Jax 1001 17 COPYRIGHT O SOW, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) It also may be appropriate for the auditor to perform additional procedures during the observation of the count, for example, more rigorously examining the contents of boxed items, the manner in which the goods are stacked (for example, hollow squares) or labeled, and the quality (that is, purity, grade, or concentration) of liquid substances such as perfumes or specialty chemicals. Using the work of a specialist may be helpful in this regard. fa 22(22) Furthermore, additional testing of count sheets, tags, or other records, or the retention of copies of these records, may be warranted to minimize the risk of subsequent alteration or inappropriate compilation. Examples of Responses to Identified Risks ofMisstatements Arising From Misappropriations of Assets Revi d Jou SOW is Following the physical inventory count, the auditor may want to employ additional procedures directed at the quantities included in the priced out inventories to further test the reasonableness of the quantities counted—for example, comparison of quantities for the current period with prior periods by class or category of inventory, location or other criteria, or comparison of quantities counted with perpetual records. The auditor also may I consider using computer-assisted audit techniques to further test the compilation of the physical inventory counts—for example, sorting by tag number to test tag controls or by item serial number to test the possibility of item omission or duplication. ' Management estimates. The auditor may identify a risk of material misstatement due to fraud involving the development of management estimates. This risk may affect a number of accounts and assertions, including asset valuation, estimates relating to specific transactions (such as acquisitions, restructurings, or disposals of a segment of the business), and other significant accrued liabilities (such as pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, or environmental remediation liabilities). The risk may also relate to significant changes in assumptions relating to retuning estimates. As indicated in section 342, Auditing Accounting Estimates, estimates are based on subjective as well as objective factors and there is a potential for bias in the subjective factors, even when management's estimation process involves competent personnel using relevant and reliable data In addressing an identified risk of material misstatement due to fraud involving accounting estimates, the auditor may want to supplement the audit evidence otherwise I obtained (see section 342.09 through .14). In certain circumstances (for example, evaluating the reasonableness of management's estimate of the fair value of a derivative), it may be appropriate to engage a specialist or develop an independent estimate for comparison to management's estimate. Information gathered about the entity and its environment may help the auditor evaluate the reasonableness of such management estimates and underlying judgments and assumptions. A retrospective review of similar management judgments and assumptions applied in prior periods (see paragraphs .63 through .65) may also provide insight about the reasonableness of judgments and assumptions supporting management estimates. Examples of Responses to Identified Risks ofMisstatements Arising From Misappropriations of Assets Revi d Jou SOW is COPYRIGHT 020K AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) .55 The auditor may have identified a risk of material misstatement due to fraud relating to misappropriation of assets. For example, the auditor may conclude that the risk of asset misappropriation at a particular operating location is significant because a large amount of easily ' accessible cash is maintained at that location, or there are inventory items such as laptop computers at that location that can easily be moved and sold. ' .56 The auditor's response to a risk of material misstatement due to fraud relating to misappropriation of assets usually will be directed toward certain account balances. Although some of the audit responses noted in paragraphs .52 through .54 may apply in such ' circumstances, such as the procedures directed at inventory quantities, the scope of the work should be linked to the specific information about the misappropriation risk that has been ' identified For example, if a particular asset is highly susceptible to misappropriation and a potential misstatement would be material to the financial statements, obtaining an understanding of the controls related to the prevention and detection of such misappropriation and testing the ' operating effectiveness of such controls may be warranted In certain circumstances, physical inspection of such assets (for example, counting cash or securities) at or near the end of the reporting period may be appropriate. In addition, the use of substantive analytical procedures, ' such as the development by the auditor of an expected dollar amount at a high level of precision, to be compared with a recorded amount, may be effective in certain circumstance, ' Responses to Further Address the Risk of Management Override of Controls ' .57 As noted in paragraph .08, management is in a unique position to perpetrate fraud because of its ability to directly or indirectly manipulate accounting records and prepare fraudulent financial statements by overriding established controls that otherwise appear to be operating effectively. By its nature, management override of controls can occur in unpredictable ways. Accordingly, in addition to overall responses (paragraph .50) and responses that address specifically identified risks of material misstatement due to fiaud (see paragraphs .51 through .56) the procedures described in paragraphs .58 through .67 should be performed to farther address the risk of management override of controls. ' .58 Examining journal entries and other adjustments for evidence ofpossible materid misstatement due to fraud Material misstatements of financial statements due to fraud often involve the manipulation of the financial reporting process by (a) recording inappropriate or unauthorized journal entries throughout the year or at period end, or (b) making adjustments to ' amounts reported in the financial statements that are not reflected in formal journal entries, such as through consolidating adjustments, report combinations, and reclassifications. Accordingly, the auditor should design procedures to test the appropriateness of journal entries recorded in the general ledger and other adjustments (for example, entries posted directly to financial statement drafts) made in the preparation of the financial statements. More specifically, the auditor should.- a. hould:a. Obtain an understanding of the entity's financial reporting process fn 23(23) and the controls over journal entries and other adjustments. (See paragraphs .59 and .60.) Rer6N J.. 2001 19 COPYRIGHT O TOOT, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' b. Identify and select joumal entries and other adjustments for testing. (See paragrapb .61.) C. Determine the timing of the testing. (See paragraph .62.) ' d. Inquire of individuals involved in the financial reporting process about inappropriate or unusual activity relating to the processing of journal entries and other adjustments. ' .59 The auditor's understanding of the entity's financial reporting process may help in identifying the type, number, and monetary value of journal entries and other adjustments that typically are made in preparing the financial statements. For example, the auditor's understanding may include the sources of significant debits and credits to an account, who can initiate entries to the general ' ledger or transaction processing systems, what approvals are required for such entries, and how journal entries are recorded (for example, entries may be initiated and recorded online with no physical evidence, or may be created in paper form and entered in batch mode). ' .60 An entity may have implemented specific controls over journal entries and other adjustments. ' For example, an entity may use journal entries that are preformatted with account numbers and specific user approval criteria, and may have automated controls to generate an exception report for any entries that were unsuccessfully proposed for recording or entries that were recorded and ' processed outside of established parameters. The auditor should obtain an understanding of the design of such controls over journal entries and other adjustments and determine whether they are suitably designed and have been placed in operation. ' .61 The auditor should use professional judgment in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the ' testing of journal entries and other adjustments. For purposes of identifying and selecting specific entries and other adjustments for testing, and determining the appropriate method of examining the underlying support for the items selected, the auditor should consider. • The auditor's assessment of the risk of materia( misstatement due to fraud The presence of fraud risk factors or other conditions may help the auditor to identify specific classes of journal entries for testing and indicate the extent of testing necessary. • The effectiveness of controls that have been implemented over journal entries and other adjustments. Effective controls over the preparation and posting of journal entries and adjustments may affect the extent of substantive testing necessary, provided that the auditor has tested the operating effectiveness of those controls. However, even though controls might be implemented and operating effectively, the auditor's procedures for testing joumal entries and other adjustments should include the identification and testing of specific items. • The entity's financial reporting process and the nature of the evidence that can be examined. The auditor's procedures for testing journal entries and other adjustments will vary based on the nature of the financial reporting process. For many entities, routine processing of transactions involves a combination of manual and automated steps and procedures. Similarly, the processing of journal entries and other adjustments might involve both manual and automated procedures and controls. Regardless of the method, R.UW June 204 20 COPYRIGHT O 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) the auditor's procedures should include selecting from the general ledger journal entries to be tested and examining support for those items. In addition, the auditor should be aware that journal entries and other adjustments might exist in either electronic or paper ' form. When information technology (IT) is used in the financial reporting process, journal entries and other adjustments might exist only in electronic form Electronic evidence often requires extraction of the desired data by an auditor with IT knowledge and skills or the use of an IT specialist In an IT environment, it may be necessary for the auditor to employ computer-assisted audit techniques (for example, report writers, software or data extraction tools, or other systems -based techniques) to identify the ' journal entries and other adjustments to be tested The characteristics offraudulent entries or adjustments. Inappropriate journal entries and ' other adjustments often have certain unique identifying characteristics. Such characteristics may include entries (a) made to unrelated, unusual, or seldom -used accounts, (b) made by individuals who typically do not make journal entries, (c) recorded ' at the end of the period or as post -closing entries that have little or no explanation or description, (d) made either before or during the preparation of the financial statements that do not have account numbers, or (e) containing round numbers or a consistent ending number. The nature and complexity of the accounts. Inappropriate journal entries or adjustments may be applied to accounts that (a) contain transactions that are complex or unusual in nature, (b) contain significant estimates and period -end adjustments, (c) have been prone to errors in the past, (d) have not been reconciled on a timely basis or contain unreconciled differences, (e) contain intercompany transactions, or (1) are otherwise associated with an identified risk of material misstatement due to fraud. The auditor should recognize, however, that inappropriate journal entries and adjustments also might be made to other accounts. In audits of entities that have several locations or components, the auditor should consider the need to select journal entries from locations based on the factors set forth in section 312.18. Journal entries or other adjustments processed outside the normal course of business. Standardjoumal entries used on a recurring basis to record transactions such as monthly sales, purchases, and cash disbursements, or to record recurring periodic accounting estimates generally are subject to the entity's internal controls. Nonstandard entries (for example, entries used to record nonrecurring transactions, such as a business combination, or entries used to record a nonrecurring estimate, such as an asset impairment) might not be subject to the same level of internal control. In addition, other adjustments such as consolidating adjustments, report combinations, and reclassifications generally are not reflected in formal journal entries and might not be subject to the entity's internal controls. Accordingly, the auditor should consider placing additional emphasis on identifying and testing items processed outside of the normal course of business. .62 Because fraudulent journal entries often are made at the end of a reporting period, the auditor's testing ordinarily should focus on the journal entries and other adjustments made at that time. However, because material misstatements in financial statements due to fraud can occur RMa Jun=d 21 COPYRIGHT 0 20 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PURWC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) throughout the period and may involve extensive efforts to conceal how it is accomplished, the auditor should consider whether there also is a need to test journal entries throughout the period under audit .63 Reviewing accounting estimates for biases that could result in material misstatement due to fraud In preparing financial statements, management is responsible for making a number of judgments or assumptions that affect significant accounting estimates fn 24(24) and for monitoring the reasonableness of such estimates on an ongoing basis. Fraudulent financial ' reporting often is accomplished through intentional misstatement of accounting estimates. As discussed in section 312.36, the auditor should consider whether differences between estimates best supported by the audit evidence and the estimates included in the financial statements, even t if they are individually reasonable, indicate a possible bias on the part of the entity's management, in which case the auditor should reconsider the estimates taken as a whole. ' .64 The auditor also should perform a retrospective review of significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements of the prior year to determine whether management judgments and assumptions relating to the estimates indicate a possible bias on the part of management The significant accounting estimates selected for testing should include those that are based on highly sensitive assumptions or are otherwise significantly affected by judgments ' made by management With the benefit of hindsight, a retrospective review should provide the auditor with additional information about whether there may be a possible bias on the part of management in naming the current -year estimates. This review, however, is not intended to call ' into question the auditor's professional judgments made in the prior year that were based on information available at the time. .65 If the auditor identifies a possible bias on the part of management in making accounting estimates, the auditor should evaluate whether circumstances producing such a bias represent a risk of a material misstatement due to fraud. For example, information coming to the auditor's attention may indicate a risk that adjustments to the current -year estimates might be recorded at the instruction of management to arbitrarily achieve a specified earnings target .66 Evaluating the business rationale for signifcant unusual transactions During the course of the audit, the auditor may become aware of significant transactions that are outside the normal course of business for the entity, or that otherwise appear to be unusual given the auditor's understanding of the entity and its environment The auditor should gain an understanding of the business rationale for such transactions and whether that rationale (or the lack thereof) suggests that the transactions may have been entered into to engage in fraudulent financial reporting or conceal misappropriation of assets. .67 In understanding the business rationale for the transactions, the auditor should consider: • Whether the form of such transactions is overly complex (for example, involves multiple entities within a consolidated group or unrelated third parties). Whether management has discussed the nature of and accounting for such transactions Ravle lv., 2001 COPYRIGHT ® 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) with the audit committee or board of directors. Whether management is placing more emphasis on the need for a particular accounting treatment than on the underlying economics of the transaction. Whether transactions that involve unconsolidated related parties, including special purpose entities, have been properly reviewed and approved by the audit committee or board of directors. Whether the transactions involve previously unidentified related parties in 25(25) or parties that do not have the substance or the financial strength to support the transaction without assistance from the entity under audit Evaluating Audit Evidence .68 Assessing risks of material misstatement due to fraud throughout the audit The auditor's assessment of the risks of material misstatement due to fraud should be ongoing throughout the audit. Conditions may be identified during fieldwork that change or support a judgment regarding the assessment of the risks, such as the following: Discrepancies in the accounting records, including: — Transactions that are not recorded in a complete or timely manner or are improperly recorded as to amount, accounting period, classification, or entity policy — Unsupported or unauthorized balances or transactions — Last-minute adjustments that significantly affect financial results — Evidence of employees' access to systems and records inconsistent with that necessary to perform their authorized duties — Tips or complaints to the auditor about alleged fraud Conflicting or missing evidential matter, including: — Missing documents — Documents that appear to have been altered fn 26(26) — Unavailability of other than pbotocopied or electronically transmitted documents when documents in original form are expected to exist — Significant unexplained items on reconciliations — Inconsistent, vague, or implausible responses from management or employees arising from inquiries or analytical procedures (See paragraph .72.) — Unusual discrepancies between the entity's records and confirmation replies — Missing inventory or physical assets of significant magnitude — Unavailable or missing electronic evidence, inconsistent with the entity's record R.Ai d J... 2004 n COPYRIGHT 02001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) retention practices or policies — Inability to produce evidence of key systems development and program change testing and implementation activities for current -year system changes and deployments Problematic or unusual relationships between the auditor and management, including: — Denial of access to records, facilities, certain employees, customers, vendors, or others from whom audit evidence might be sought fil 27(27) — Undue time pressures imposed by management to resolve complex or contentious issues — Complaints by management about the conduct of the audit or management intimidation of audit team members, particularly in connection with the auditor s critical assessment of audit evidence or in the resolution of potential disagreements with management — Unusual delays by the entity in providing requested information — Unwillingness to facilitate auditor access to key electronic files for testing through the use of computer-assisted audit techniques — Denial of access to key IT operations staff and facilities, including security, operations, and systems development personnel — An unwillingness to add or revise disclosures in the financial statements to make them more complete and transparent .69 Evaluating whether analytical procedures performed as substantive tests or in the overall review stage of the audit indicate a previously unrecognized risk of material misstatement due to fraud As discussed in paragraphs .28 through .30, the auditor should consider whether analytical procedures performed in planning the audit result in identifying any unusual or unexpected relationships that should be considered in assessing the risks of material misstatement due to fraud. The auditor also should evaluate whether analytical procedures that were performed as substantive tests or in the overall review stage of the audit (see section 329) indicate a previously unrecognized risk of material misstatement due to fraud 70 If not already performed during the overall review stage of the audit, the auditor should perform analytical procedures relating to revenue, as discussed in paragraph .29, through the end of the reporting period 71 Detent imng which particular trends and relationships may indicate a risk of material misstatement due to fraud requires professional judgment. Unusual relationships involving year-end revenue and income often are particularly relevant These might include, for example, (a) uncharacteristically large amounts of income being reported in the last week or two of the reporting period from unusual transactions, as well as (b) income that is inconsistent with trends in cash flow from operations. R"t.d Jvne 204 24 COPYRIGHT 020K AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CER77F1ED PUBLIC ACCOUNTAN73 (AICPA) ' .72 Some unusual or unexpected analytical relationships may have been identified and may indicate a risk of material misstatement due to fraud because management or employees generally are unable to manipulate certain information to create seemingly normal or expected relationships. Some examples are as follows: • The relationship of net income to cash flows from operations may appear unusual ' because management recorded fictitious revenues and receivables but was unable to manipulate cash. Changes in inventory, accounts payable, sales, or cost of sales from the prior period to the current period may be inconsistent• indicating a possible employee theft of inventory, because the employee was unable to manipulate all of the related accounts. • A comparison of the entity's profitability to industry trends, which management cannot manipulate, may indicate trends or differences for further consideration when identifying ' risks of material misstatement due to fraud. A comparison of bad debt write-offs to comparable industry data, which employees ' cannot manipulate, may provide unexplained relationships that could indicate a possible theft of cash receipts. • An unexpected or unexplained relationship between sales volume as determined from the accounting records and production statistics maintained by operations personnel—which may be more difficult for management to manipulate—may indicate a possible misstatement of sales. .73 The auditor also should consider whether responses to inquiries throughout the audit about analytical relationships have been vague or implausible, or have produced evidence that is inconsistent with other evidential matter accumulated during the audit 74 Evaluating the risks of material misstatement due to fraud at or near the completion of fieldwork At or near the completion of fieldwork, the auditor should evaluate whether the accumulated results of auditing procedures and other observations (for example, conditions and analytical relationships noted in paragraphs .69 through .73) affect the assessment of the risks of material misstatement due to fraud made earlier in the audit This evaluation primarily is a qualitative matter based on the auditor's judgment Such an evaluation may provide further insight about the risks of material misstatement due to fraud and whether there is a need to perform additional or different audit procedures. As part of this evaluation, the auditor with final responsibility for the audit should ascertain that there has been appropriate communication with the other audit team members throughout the audit regarding information or conditions indicative of risks of material misstatement due to fraud. fn 28(28) .75 Responding to misstatements that may be the result offraud When audit test results identify misstatements in the financial statements, the auditor should consider whether such misstatements may be indicative of fraud. fn 29(29) That determination affects the auditor's evaluation of materiality and the related responses necessary as a result of that evaluation. fn 30(30) Rev J... 2001 25 COPYRIGHT 0 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) 76 If the auditor believes that misstatements are or may be the result of fraud, but the effect of the misstatements is not material to the financial statements, the auditor nevertheless should evaluate the implications, especially those dealing with the organizational position of the person(s) involved. For example, fraud involving misappropriations of cash from a small petty cash fund normally would be of little significance to the auditor in assessing the risk of material misstatement due to fraud because both the manner of operating the fund and its size would tend to establish a limit on the amount of potential loss, and the custodianship of such funds normally is entrusted to a nonmanagement employee. fa 31(3 1) Conversely, if the matter involves higher-level management, even though the amount itself is not material to the financial statements, it may be indicative of a more pervasive problem, for example, implications about the integrity of management. fn 32(32) In such circumstances, the auditor should reevaluate the assessment of the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and its resulting impact on (a) the nature, timing, and extent of the tests of balances or transactions and (b) the assessment of the effectiveness of controls if control risk was assessed below the maximum. 77 If the auditor believes that the misstatement is or may be the result of fraud, and either has determined that the effect could be material to the financial statements or has been unable to evaluate whether the effect is material, the auditor should: a. Attempt to obtain additional evidential matter to determine whether material fraud has occurred or is likely to have occurred, and, if so, its effect on the financial statements and the auditor's report thereon. fa 33(33) b. Consider the implications for other aspects of the audit (see paragraph .76). C. Discuss the matter and the approach for furtber investigation with an appropriate level of management that is at least one level above those involved, and with senior management and the audit committee. fo 34(34) d. If appropriate, suggest that the client consult with legal counsel. 78 The auditors consideration of the risks of material misstatement and the results of audit tests may indicate such a significant risk of material misstatement due to fraud that the auditor should consider withdrawing from the engagement and communicating the reasons for withdrawal to the audit committee or others with equivalent authority and responsibility. fn 35(35) Whether the auditor concludes that withdrawal from the engagement is appropriate may depend on (a) the implications about the integrity of management and (b) the diligence and cooperation of management or the board of directors in investigating the circumstances and taking appropriate action. Because of the variety of circumstances that may arise, it is not possible to definitively describe when withdrawal is appropriate. in 36(36) The auditor may wish to consult with legal counsel when considering withdrawal from an engagement.

Fraud involving senior management and fraud (whether caused by senior management or other employees) that causes a material misstatement of the financial statements should be reported directly to the audit committee. In ' addition, the auditor should reach an understanding with the audit committee regarding the nature and extent of communications with the committee about misappropriations perpetrated by ' lower -level employees. .80 If the auditor, as a result of the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, has identified ' risks of material misstatement due to fraud that have continuing control implications (whether or not transactions or adjustments that could be the result of fraud have been detected), the auditor should consider whether these risks represent reportable conditions relating to the entity's internal control that should be communicated to senior management and the audit committee. fn 38(38) (See section 325, Communication oflnternal Control Related Matters Noted in an ' Audit, paragraph .04). The auditor also should consider whether the absence of or deficiencies in programs and controls to mitigate specific risks of fraud or to otherwise help prevent, deter, and detect fraud (see paragraph .44) represent reportable conditions that should be communicated to 1 senior management and the audit committee. .81 The auditor also may wish to communicate other risks of fraud identified as a result of the assessment of the risks of material misstatements due to fraud Such a communication may be a part of an overall communication to the audit committee of business and financial statement risks ' affecting the entity and/or in conjunction with the auditor communication about the quality of the entity's accounting principles (see section 380.11).

RM,M J... 2001 28 ' COPYRIGHT 0 20M, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) For each of these types of fraud, the risk factors are further classified based on the three conditions generally present when material misstatements due to fraud occur. (a) incentives/pressures, (b) opportunities, and (c) attitudes/rationalizations. Although the risk factors cover a broad range of situations, they are only examples and, accordingly, the auditor may wish to consider additional or different risk factors. Not all of these examples are relevant in all circumstances, and some may be of greater or lesser significance in entities of different size 1 or with different ownership characteristics or circumstances. Also, the order of the examples of risk factors provided is not intended to reflect their relative importance or frequency of occurrence. ' Risk Factors Relating to Misstatements Arising From Fraudulent Financial Reporting A.2 The following are examples of risk factors relating to misstatements arising from fraudulent ' financial reporting. Incentives/Pressures a. Financial stability or profitability is threatened by economic, industry, or entity operating conditions, such as (or as indicated by): — High degree of competition or market saturation, accompanied by declining margins ' — High vulnerability to rapid changes, such as changes in technology, product obsolescence, or interest rates ' — Significant declines in customer demand and increasing business failures in either the industry or overall economy — Operating losses making the threat of bankruptcy, foreclosure, or hostile takeover ' imminent — Recurring negative cash flows from operations or an inability to generate cash flows from operations while reporting earnings and earnings growth — Rapid growth or unusual profitability, especially compared to that of other ' companies in the same industry — New accounting, statutory, or regulatory requirements b. Excessive pressure exists for management to meet the requirements or expectations of third parties due to the following: — Profitability or trend level expectations of investment analysts, institutional investors, significant creditors, or other external parties (particularly expectations that are unduly aggressive or unrealistic), including expectations created by ReNud J... 20M 29 ' COPYRmnT 030H.AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) ' management in, for example, overly optimistic press releases or annual report messages — Need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to stay competitive—including financing of major research and development or capital expenditures ' — Marginal ability to meet exchange listing requirements or debt repayment or other debt covenant requirements ' — Perceived or real adverse effects of reporting poor financial results on significant pending transactions, such as business combinations or contract awards ' C. Information available indicates that management or the board of directors' personal financial situation is threatened by the entity's financial performance arising from the following: ' — Significant financial interests in the entity - ' — Significant portions of their compensation (for example, bonuses, stock options, and eam-out arrangements) being contingent upon achieving aggressive targets for stock price, operating results, financial position, or cash flow fit 1(42) t— Personal guarantees of debts of the entity ' d. There is excessive pressure on management or operating personnel to meet financial targets set up by the board of directors or management, including sales or profitability incentive goals. Opportunities a. The nature of the industry or the entity's operations provides opportunities to engage in fraudulent financial reporting that can arise from the following: Significant related -party transactions not in the ordinary course of business or with related entities not audited or audited by another firm A strong financial presence or ability to dominate a certain industry sector that allows the entity to dictate terms or conditions to suppliers or customers that may result in inappropriate or non -arm's-length transactions — Assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenses based on significant estimates that involve subjective judgments or uncertainties that are difficult to corroborate — Significant, unusual, or highly complex transactions, especially those close to period end that pose difficult "substance over form" questions — Significant operations located or conducted across international borders in jurisdictions where differing business environments and cultures exist PAThW J... 3001 30 I' COPYRIGHT 0204, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) — Significant bank accounts or subsidiary or branch operations in tax -haven jurisdictions for which there appears to be no clear business justification b. There is ineffective monitoring of management as a result of the following: — Domination of management by a single person or small group (in a nonowner-managed business) without compensating controls — Ineffective board of directors or audit committee oversight over the financial reporting process and internal control C. There is a complex or unstable organizational structure, as evidenced by the following: — Difficulty in determining the organization or individuals that have controlling interest in the entity — Overly complex organizational structure involving unusual legal entities or managerial lines of authority — High turnover of senior management, counsel, or board members d. Internal control components are deficient as a result of the following: — Inadequate monitoring of controls, including automated controls and controls over interim financial reporting (where external reporting is required) — High turnover rates or employment of ineffective accounting, internal audit, or information technology staff — Ineffective accounting and information systems, including situations involving reportable conditions Attitudes/Rationalizations Risk factors reflective of attitudes/rationalizations by board members, management, or employees, that allow them to engage in and/or justify fraudulent financial reporting, may not be susceptible to observation by the auditor. Nevertheless, the auditor who becomes aware of the existence of such information should consider it in identifying the risks of material misstatement arising from fraudulent financial reporting. For example, auditors may become aware of the following information that may indicate a risk factor. Ineffective communication, implementation, support, or enforcement of the entity's values or ethical standards by management or the communication of inappropriate values or ethical standards Nonfinancial management's excessive participation in or preoccupation with the selection of accounting principles or the determination of significant estimates Known history of violations of securities laws or other laws and regulations, or claims ReA.d J... 204 COPYRIOR'r O 20W, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) against the entity, its senior management, or board members alleging fraud or violations of laws and regulations • Excessive interest by management in maintaining or increasing the entity's stock price or earnings trend • A practice by management of committing to analysts, creditors, and other third parties to achieve aggressive or unrealistic forecasts • Management failing to correct known reportable conditions on a timely basis • An interest by management in employing inappropriate means to minimi rr reported earnings for tax -motivated reasons • Recurring attempts by management to justify marginal or inappropriate accounting on the basis of materiality • The relationship between management and the current or predecessor auditor is strained, as exhibited by the following: Frequent disputes with the current or predecessor auditor on accounting, auditing, or reporting matters Unreasonable demands on the auditor, such as unreasonable time constraints regarding the completion of the audit or the issuance of the auditor's report Formal or informal restrictions on the auditor that inappropriately limit access to people or information or the ability to communicate effectively with the board of directors or audit committee — Domineering management behavior in dealing with the auditor, especially involving attempts to influence the scope of the auditor's work or the selection or continuance of personnel assigned to or consulted on the audit engagement Risk Factors Relating to Misstatements Arising From Misappropriation of Assets A3 Risk factors that relate to misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets are also classified according to the three conditions generally present when fraud exists: incentives/pressures, opportunities, and attitudes/rationalizations. Some of the risk factors related to misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting also may be present when misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets occur. For example, ineffective monitoring of management and weaknesses in internal control may be present when misstatements due to either fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets exist. The following are examples of risk factors related to misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets. Incentives/Pressures a. Personal financial obligations may create pressure on management or employees with access to cash or other assets susceptible to theft to misappropriate those assets. Revised June 200/ 32 COPYRIGHT 02 M, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF Clot -MED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) b. Adverse relationships between the entity and employees with access to cash or other assets susceptible to theft may motivate those employees to misappropriate those assets. For example, adverse relationships may be created by the following: — Known or anticipated future employee layoffs — Recent or anticipated changes to employee compensation or benefit plans — Promotions, compensation, or other rewards inconsistent with expectations Opportunities a. Certain characteristics or circumstances may increase the susceptibility of assets to misappropriation. For example, opportunities to misappropriate assets increase when there are the following: — Large amounts of cash on hand or processed — Inventory items that are small in size, of high value, or in high demand — Easily convertible assets, such as bearer bonds, diamonds, or computer chips — Fixed assets that are small in size, marketable, or lacking observable identification of ownership b. Inadequate internal control over assets may increase the susceptibility of misappropriation of those assets. For example, misappropriation of assets may occur because there is the following: — Inadequate segregation of duties or independent checks — Inadequate management oversight of employees responsible for assets, for example, inadequate supervision or monitoring of remote locations — Inadequate job applicant screening of employees with access to assets — Inadequate recordkeeping with respect to assets — Inadequate system of authorization and approval of transactions (for example, in purchasing) — Inadequate physical safeguards over cash, investments, inventory, or fixed assets — Lack of complete and timely reconciliations of assets — Lack of timely and appropriate documentation of transactions, for example, credits for merchandise returns - — Lack of mandatory vacations for employees performing key control functions Revud Js. 26M M COPYRIGHT C 20W, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (A)CPA) 1 — Inadequate management understanding of information technology, which enables information technology employees to perpetrate a misappropriation — Inadequate access controls over automated records, including controls over and review of computer systems event logs. ' Attitudes/Rationalizations Risk factors reflective of employee attitudes/rationalizations that allow them to justify misappropriations of assets, are generally not susceptible to observation by the auditor. Nevertheless, the auditor who becomes aware of the existence of such information should ' consider it in identifying the risks of material misstatement arising from misappropriation of assets. For example, auditors may become aware of the following attitudes or behavior of employees who have access to assets susceptible to misappropriation: ' Disregard for the need for monitoring or reducing risks related to misappropriations of assets ' Disregard for internal control over misappropriation of assets by overriding existing controls or by failing to correct known internal control deficiencies • Behavior indicating displeasure or dissatisfaction with the company or its treatment of the employee Changes in behavior or lifestyle that may indicate assets have been misappropriated Exhibit ' Management Antifraud Programs and Controls ' Guidance to Help Prevent, Deter, and Detect Fraud ' .86 (This exhibit is reprinted for the reader's convenience but is not an integral part of the section-) This document is being issued jointly by the following organisations: ' In addition, we would also Ince to acknowledge the American Accounting Association, the Defense Industry Initiative, and the National Association of Corporate Directors for their review of the Eev Jane 2061 N American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ' Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Financial Executives International ' Information Systems Audit and Control Association 7'he Institute of Internal Auditors Institute of Management Accountants ' Society for Human Resource Management ' In addition, we would also Ince to acknowledge the American Accounting Association, the Defense Industry Initiative, and the National Association of Corporate Directors for their review of the Eev Jane 2061 N COPYRIGHT 020M, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) document and belpful comments and materials.

Preface ' Some organizations have significantly lower levels of misappropriation of assets and are less susceptible to fraudulent financial reporting than other organizations because these organizations ' take proactive steps to prevent or deter fraud It is only those organizations that seriously consider fraud risks and take proactive steps to create the right kind of climate to reduce its occurrence that have success in preventing fraud. This document identifies the key participants ' in this antifraud effort, including the board of directors, management, internal and independent auditors, and certified fraud examiners. ' Management may develop and implement some of these programs and controls in response to specific identified risks of material misstatement of financial statements due to fraud. In other cases, these programs and controls may be a part of the entity's enterprise -wide risk management ' activities. Management is responsible for designing and implementing systems and procedures for the ' prevention and detection of fraud and, along with the board of directors, for ensuring a culture and environment that promotes honesty and ethical behavior. However, because of the characteristics of fraud, a material misstatement of financial statements due to fraud may occur ' notwithstanding the presence of programs and controls such as those described in this document. ' Introduction Revived June 20M JS I ' COPYRIGHT 02000,AMERICAN INSTITUTE OPCERTIRED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS(AICPA) Fraud can range from minor employee theft and unproductive behavior to misappropriation of assets and fraudulent financial reporting. Material financial statement fraud can have a significant adverse effect on an entity's market value, reputation, and ability to achieve its ' strategic objectives. A number of highly publicized cases have heightened the awareness of the effects of fraudulent financial reporting and have led many organizations to be more proactive in taking steps to prevent or deter its occurrence. Misappropriation of assets, though often not material to the financial statements, can nonetheless result in substantial losses to an entity if a dishonest employee has the incentive and opportunity to commit fraud ' The risk of fraud can be reduced through a combination of prevention, deterrence, and detection measures. However, fraud can be difficult to detect because it often involves concealment ' through falsification of documents or collusion among management, employees, or third parties. Therefore, it is important to place a strong emphasis on fraud prevention, which may reduce opportunities for fraud to take place; and fraud deterrence, which could persuade individuals that they should not commit fraud because of the likelihood of detection and punishment. Moreover, ' prevention and deterrence measures are much less costly than the time and expense required for fraud detection and investigation. An entity's management has both the responsibility and the means to implement measures to reduce the incidence of fraud The measures an organization takes to prevent and deter fraud also can help create a positive workplace environment that can enhance the entity's ability to recruit and retain high-quality employees. t Research suggests that the most effective way to implement measures to reduce wrongdoing is to base them on a set of core values that are embraced by the entity. These values provide an overarching message about the key principles guiding all employees' actions. This provides a ' platform upon which a more detailed code of conduct can be constructed, giving more specific guidance about permitted and prohibited behavior, based on applicable laws and the ' organization's values. Management needs to clearly articulate that all employees will be held to act within the organization's code of conduct accountable This document identifies measures entities can implement to prevent, deter, and detect fraud It discusses these measures in the context of three fundamental elements. Broadly stated, these fundamental elements are (1) create and maintain a culture of honesty and high ethics; (2) evaluate the risks of fraud and implement the processes, procedures, and controls needed to mitigate the risks and reduce the opportunities for fraud; and (3) develop an appropriate oversight process. Although the entire management team shares the responsibility for implementing and monitoring these activities, with oversight from the board of directors, the entity's chief executive officer (CEO) should initiate and support such measures. Without the CEO's active support, these measures are less likely to be effective. The information presented in this document generally is applicable to entities of all sizes. However, the degree to which certain programs and controls are applied in smaller, less -complex entities and the formality of their application are likely to differ from larger organizations. For example, management of a smaller entity (or the owner of an owner -managed entity), along with those charged with governance of the financial reporting process, are responsible for creating a culture of honesty and high ethics. Management also is responsible for implementing a system of Rev Jao02001 76 COPMGHTO200/, AMERICAN MSfITUTE OF CERTIFIED KMLJC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) internal controls commensurate with the nature and size of the organization, but smaller entities may find that certain types of control activities are not relevant because of the involvement of and controls applied by management However, all entities must make it clear that unethical or dishonest behavior will not be tolerated Creating a Culture of Honesty and High Ethics It is the organ m on's responsibility to create a culture of honesty and high ethics and to clearly communicate acceptable behavior and expectations of each employee. Such a culture is rooted in a strong set of core values (or value system) that provides the foundation for employees as to how the organization conducts its business. It also allows an entity to develop an ethical framework that covers (1) fraudulent financial reporting, (2) misappropriation of assets, and (3) corruption as well as other issues. in 1(43) Creating a culture of honesty and high ethics should include the following. Sening the Tone at the Top Directors and officers of corporations set the "tone at the top" for ethical behavior within any organization. Research in moral development strongly suggests that honesty can best be reinforced when a proper example is set—sometimes referred to as the tone at the top. The management of an entity cannot act one way and expect others in the entity to behave differently. In many cases, particularly in larger organizations, it is necessary for management to both behave ethically and openly communicate its expectations for ethical behavior because most employees are not in a position to observe management's actions. Management must show employees through its words and actions that dishonest or unethical behavior will not be tolerated, even if the result of the action benefits the entity. Moreover, it should be evident that all employees will be treated equally, regardless of their position. For example, statements by management regarding the absolute need to meet operating and financial targets can create undue pressures that may lead employees to commit fraud to achieve them Setting unachievable goals for employees can give them two unattractive choices: fail or cheat In contrast, a statement from management that says, "We are aggressive in pursuing our targets, while requiring truthful financial reporting at all times," clearly indicates to employees that integrity is a requirement This message also conveys that the entity has "zero tolerance" for unethical behavior, including fraudulent financial reporting. The cornerstone of an effective antifraud environment is a culture with a strong value system founded on integrity. This value system often is reflected in a code of conduct fit 2(44) The code of conduct should reflect the core values of the entity and guide employees in making appropriate decisions during their workday. The code of conduct might include such topics as ethics, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, intellectual property, sexual harassment, and fraud in 3(45) For a code of conduct to be effective, it should be communicated to all personnel in an understandable fashion. It also should be developed in a participatory and positive manner that will result in both management and employees taking ownership of its content Finally, the code of conduct should be included in an employee handbook or policy manual, or in some other R J.x 20M 37 COPYRIGHT 0 ZM, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBW C ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) formal document or location (for example, the entity's intranet) so it can be referred to when needed Senior financial officers hold an important and elevated role in corporate governance. While members of the management team, they are uniquely capable and empowered to ensure that all stakeholders' interests are appropriately balanced, protected, and preserved. For examples of ' codes of conduct, see Attachment 1, "AICPA'CPA's Handbook of Fraud and Commercial Crime Prevention,' An Organizational Code of Conduct," and Attachment 2, "Financial Executives International Code of Ethics Statement" provided by Financial Executives International. In ' addition, visit the Institute of Management Accountant's Ethics Center at www.imanetorg for their members' standards of ethical conduct Creating a Positive Workplace Environment ' Research results indicate that wrongdoing occurs less frequently when employees have positive feelings about an entity than when they feel abused, threatened, or ignored. Without a positive workplace environment, there are more opportunities for poor employee morale, which can ' affect an employee's attitude about committing fraud against an entity. Factors that detract from a positive work environment and may increase the risk of fraud include: ' Top management that does not seem to care about or reward appropriate behavior Negative feedback and lack of recognition for job performance Perceived inequities in the organization Autocratic rather than participative management ' Low organizational loyalty or feelings of ownership • Unreasonable budget expectations or other financial targets ' Fear of delivering "bad news" to supervisors and/or management • Less -than -competitive compensation ' Poor training and promotion opportunities • Lack of clear organizational responsibilities ' Poor communication practices or methods within the organization The entity's human resources department often is instrumental in helping to build a corporate culture and a positive work environment Human resource professionals are responsible for implementing specific programs and initiatives, consistent with management's strategies, that can help to mitigate many of the detractors mentioned above. Mitigating factors that help create a positive work environment and reduce the risk of fraud may include: Recognition and reward systems that are in tandem with goals and results Equal employment opportunities • Team -oriented, collaborative decision-making policies RMnd J.m 2M 36 1 COPYRIGHT 02001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) Professionally administered compensation programs Professionally administered training programs and an organizational priority of career development Employees should be empowered to help create a positive workplace environment and support the entity's values and code of conduct. They should be given the opportunity to provide input to ' the development and updating of the entity's code of conduct, to ensure that it is relevant, clear, and fair. Involving employees in this fashion also may effectively contribute to the oversight of the entity's code of conduct and an environment of ethical behavior (see the section titled "Developing an Appropriate Oversight Process"). ' Employees should be given the means to obtain advice internally before making decisions that appear to have significant legal or ethical implications. They should also be encouraged and given the means to communicate concerns, anonymously if preferred, about potential violations ' of the entity's code of conduct, without fear of retribution. Many organizations have implemented a process for employees to report on a confidential basis any actual or suspected wrongdoing, or potential violations of the code of conduct or ethics policy. For example, some ' organizations use a telephone "hotline" that is directed to or monitored by an ethics officer, fraud officer, general counsel, internal audit director, or another trusted individual responsible for investigating and reporting incidents of fraud or illegal acts. Hiring and Promoting Appropriate Employees Each employee has a unique set of values and personal code of ethics. When faced with sufficient pressure and a perceived opportunity, some employees will behave dishonestly rather than face the negative consequences of honest behavior. The threshold at which dishonest behavior starts, however, will vary among individuals. If an entity is to be successful in preventing fraud, it must have effective policies that minimize the chance of hiring or promoting individuals with low levels of honesty, especially for positions of trust Proactive hiring and promotion procedures may include: • Conducting background investigations on individuals being considered for employment or for promotion to a position of trust fn 4(46) • Thoroughly checking a candidate's education, employment history, and personal references • Periodic training of all employees about the entity's values and code of conduct, (training is addressed in the following section) • Incorporating into regular performance reviews an evaluation of how each individual has contributed to creating an appropriate workplace environment in line with the entity's values and code of conduct • Continuous objective evaluation of compliance with the entity's values and code of conduct, with violations being addressed immediately Revlua J... 2001 39 COPYRIGHT 01004, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) Training New employees should be trained at the time of hiring about the entity's values and its code of conduct. This training should explicitly cover expectations of all employees regarding (1) their duty to communicate certain matters; (2) a list of the types of matters, including actual or suspected fraud, to be communicated along with specific examples; and (3) information on how to communicate those matters. There also should be an affirmation from senior management regarding employee expectations and communication responsibilities. Such training should include an element of "fraud awareness," the tone of which should be positive but nonetheless stress that fraud can be costly (and detrimental in other ways) to the entity and its employees. In addition to training at the time of hiring, employees should receive refresher training periodically thereafter. Some organizations may consider ongoing training for certain positions, such as purchasing agents or employees with financial reporting responsibilities. Training should be specific to an employee's level within the organization, geographic location, and assigned responsibilities. For example, training for senior manager level personnel would normally be different from that of nonsupervisory employees, and training for purchasing agents would be different from that of sales representatives. Corift madon Management needs to clearly articulate that all employees will be held accountable to act within the entity's code of conduct. All employees within senior management and the finance function, as well as other employees in areas that might be exposed to unethical behavior (for example, procurement, sales and marketing) should be required to sign a code of conduct statement annually, at a minimum. Requiring periodic confirmation by employees of their responsibilities will not only reinforce the policy but may also deter individuals from committing fraud and other violations and might identify problems before they become significant. Such confirmation may include statements that the individual understands the entity's expectations, has complied with the code of conduct, and is not aware of any violations of the code of conduct other than those the individual lists in his or her response. Although people with low integrity may not hesitate to sign a false confirmation, most people will want to avoid making a false statement in writing. Honest individuals are more likely to return their confirmations and to disclose what they know (including any conflicts of interest or other personal exceptions to the code of conduct). Thorough follow-up by internal auditors or others regarding nomeplies may uncover significant issues. Discipline The way an entity reacts to incidents of alleged or suspected fraud will send a strong deterrent message throughout the entity, helping to reduce the number of future occurrences. The following actions should be taken in response to an alleged incident of fraud: A thorough investigation of the incident should be conducted. fn 5(47) lk vivd Ju"e 2001 40 COPYRIGHT 0 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUEUC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) ' Appropriate and consistent actions should be taken against violators. Relevant controls should be assessed and improved. ' Communication and training should occur to reinforce the entity's values, code of conduct, and expectations. Expectations about the consequences of committing fraud must be clearly communicated throughout the entity. For example, a strong statement from management that dishonest actions will not be tolerated, and that violators may be terminated and referred to the appropriate authorities, clearly establishes consequences and can be a valuable deterrent to wrongdoing. If wrongdoing occurs and an employee is disciplined, it can be helpful to communicate that fact, on a no -name basis, in an employee newsletter or other regular communication to employees. Seeing that other people have been disciplined for wrongdoing can be an effective deterrent, increasing the perceived likelihood of violators being caught and punished It also can demonstrate that the entity is committed to an environment of high ethical standards and integrity. ' Evaluating Antifraud Processes and Controls Neither fraudulent financial reporting nor misappropriation of assets can occur without a ' perceived opportunity to commit and conceal the act. Organizations should be proactive in reducing fraud opportunities by (1) identifying and measuring fraud risks, (2) taking steps to mitigate identified risks, and (3) implementing and monitoring appropriate preventive and tdetective internal controls and other deterrent measures. ' Identifying and Measuring Fraud Risks Management has primary responsibility for establishing and monitoring all aspects of the entity's fraud risk -assessment and prevention activities. fn 6(48) Fraud risks often are considered as part of an enterprise -wide risk management program, though they may be addressed separately. fh 7(49) The fraud risk -assessment process should consider the vulnerability of the entity to fraudulent activity (fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets, and corruption) and whether any of those exposures could result in a material misstatement of the financial statements or material loss to the organization. In identifying fraud risks, organizations should ' consider organizational, industry, and country -specific characteristics that influence the risk of fraud. ' The nature and extent of management's risk assessment activities should be commensurate with the size of the entity and complexity of its operations. For example, the risk assessment process is likely to be less formal and less structured in smaller entities. However, management should recognize that fraud can occur in organizations of any size or type, and that almost any employee may be capable of committing fraud given the right set of circumstances. Accordingly, t management should develop a heightened "fraud awareness" and an appropriate fraud risk -management program, with oversight from the board of directors or audit committee. P.A.d June 2001 I COPMGBT O 20KAMERICAN INS71TUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) Mitigating Fraud Risks It may be possible to reduce or eliminate certain fraud risks by making changes to the entity's activities and processes. An entity may choose to sell certain segments of its operations, cease doing business in certain locations, or reorganize its business processes to eliminate unacceptable risks. For example, the risk of misappropriation of funds may be reduced by implementing a central lockbox at a bank to receive payments instead of receiving money at the entity's various locations. The risk of corruption may be reduced by closely monitoring the entity's procurement process. The risk of financial statement fraud may be reduced by implementing shared services centers to provide accounting services to multiple segments, affiliates, or geographic locations of an entity's operations. A shared services center may be less vulnerable to influence by local operations managers and may be able to implement more extensive fraud detection measures cost-effectively. Implementing and Monitoring Appropriate Internal Controls Some risks are inherent in the environment of the entity, but most can be addressed with an appropriate system of internal control. Once fraud risk assessment has taken place, the entity can identify the processes, controls, and other procedures that are needed to mitigate the identified risks. Effective internal control will include a well-developed control environment, an effective and secure information system, and appropriate control and monitoring activities. fn 8(50) Because of the importance of information technology in supporting operations and the processing of transactions, management also needs to implement and maintain appropriate controls, whether automated or manual, over computer-generated information. Fraudulent financial reporting by lower levels of management and employees may be deterred or detected by appropriate monitoring controls, such as having higher-level managers review and evaluate the financial results reported by individual operating units or subsidiaries. Unusual ' fluctuations in results of particular reporting units, or the lack of expected fluctuations, may indicate potential manipulation by departmental or operating unit managers or staff. 1 Revisetl June 20D1 42 1 In particular, management should evaluate whether appropriate internal controls have been ' implemented in any areas management has identified as posing a higher risk of fraudulent activity, as well as controls over the entity's financial reporting process. Because fraudulent financial reporting may begin in an interim period, management also should evaluate the appropriateness of internal controls over interim financial reporting. Fraudulent financial reporting by upper-level management typically involves override of internal controls within the financial reporting process. Because management has the ability to override controls, or to influence others to perpetrate or conceal fraud, the need for a strong value system ' and a culture of ethical financial reporting becomes increasingly important This helps create an environment in which other employees will decline to participate in committing a fraud and will use established communication procedures to report any requests to commit wrongdoing. Ile ' potential for management override also increases the need for appropriate oversight measures by the board of directors or audit committee, as discussed in the following section. Fraudulent financial reporting by lower levels of management and employees may be deterred or detected by appropriate monitoring controls, such as having higher-level managers review and evaluate the financial results reported by individual operating units or subsidiaries. Unusual ' fluctuations in results of particular reporting units, or the lack of expected fluctuations, may indicate potential manipulation by departmental or operating unit managers or staff. 1 Revisetl June 20D1 42 1 COPYRIGHT 02W1, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PURUC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) Developing an Appropriate Oversight Process To effectively prevent or deter fraud, an entity should have an appropriate oversight function in place. Oversight can take many forms and can be performed by many within and outside the entity, under the overall oversight of the audit committee (or board of directors where no audit committee exists). Audit Committee or Board of Directors The audit committee (or the board of directors where no audit committee exists) should evaluate managements identification of fraud risks, implementation of antifraud measures, and creation of the appropriate "tone at the top." Active oversight by the audit committee can help to reinforce management's commitment to creating a culture with "zero tolerance" for fraud An entity's audit committee also should ensure that senior management (in particular, the CEO) implements appropriate fraud deterrence and prevention measures to better protect investors, employees, and other stakeholders. The audit committee's evaluation and oversight not only helps make sure that senior management fulfills its responsibility, but also can serve as a deterrent to senior management engaging in fraudulent activity (that is, by ensuring an environment is created whereby any attempt by senior management to involve employees in committing or concealing fraud would lead promptly to reports from such employees to appropriate persons, including the audit committee). The audit committee also plays an important role in helping the board of directors fulfill its oversight responsibilities with respect to the entity's financial reporting process and the system of internal control. fir 9(5 1) In exercising this oversight responsibility, the audit committee should consider the potential for management override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process. For example, the audit committee may obtain from the internal auditors and independent auditors their views on managements involvement in the financial reporting process and, in particular, the ability of management to override information processed by the entity's financial reporting system (for example, the ability for management or others to initiate or record nonstandard journal entries). The audit committee also may consider reviewing the entity's reported information for reasonableness compared with prior or forecasted results, as well as with peers or industry averages. In addition, information received in communications from the independent auditors 81 10(52) can assist the audit committee in assessing the strength of the entity's internal control and the potential for fraudulent financial reporting. As part of its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee should encourage management to ' provide a mechanism for employees to report concerns about unethical behavior, actual or suspected fraud, or violations of the entity's code of conduct or ethics policy. The committee should then receive periodic reports describing the nature, status, and eventual disposition of any fraud or unethical conduct. A summary of the activity, follow-up and disposition also should be provided to the full board of directors. ' If senior management is involved in fraud, the next layer of management may be the most likely to be aware of it As a result, the audit committee (and other directors) should consider ' establishing an open line of communication with members of management one or two levels R,i Jen 2004 43 COPYRIGHT O 2001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) below senior management to assist in identifying fraud at the highest levels of the organization ' or investigating any fraudulent activity that might occur. fir 11(53) The audit committee typically has the ability and authority to investigate any alleged or suspected wrongdoing brought to its ' attention. Most audit committee charters empower the committee to investigate any matters. within the scope of its responsibilities, and to retain legal, accounting, and other professional advisers as needed to advise the committee and assist in its investigation. iAll audit committee members should be financially literate, and each committee should have at least one financial expert The financial expert should possess: ' An understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and audits of financial statements prepared under those principles. Such understanding may have been obtained either through education or experience. It is important for someone on the audit committee to have a working knowledge of those principles and standards. • Experience in the preparation and/or the auditing of financial statements of an entity of ' similar size, scope and complexity as the entity on whose board the committee member serves. The experience would generally be as a chief financial officer, chief accounting ' officer, controller, or auditor of a similar entity. This background will provide a necessary understanding of the transactional and operational environment that produces the issuces financial statements. It will also bring an understanding of what is involved in, for example, appropriate accounting estimates, accruals, and reserve provisions, and an appreciation of what is necessary to maintain a good internal control environment ' Experience in internal governance and procedures of audit committees, obtained either as an audit committee member, a senior corporate manager responsible for answering to the audit committee, or an external auditor responsible for reporting on the execution and results of annual audits. Management Management is responsible for overseeing the activities carried out by employees, and typically does so by implementing and monitoring processes and controls such as those discussed previously. However, management also may initiate, participate in, or direct the commission and concealment of a fraudulent act Accordingly, the audit committee (or the board of directors where no audit committee exists) has the responsibility to oversee the activities of senior management and to consider the risk of fraudulent financial reporting involving the override of internal controls or collusion (see discussion on the audit committee and board of directors above). Public companies should include a statement in the annual report acknowledging management's responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements and for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control. This will help improve the public's understanding of the respective roles of management and the auditor. This statement has also been generally referred to as a "Management Report" or "Management Certificate." Such a statement can provide a convenient vehicle for management to describe the nature and manner of preparation of the financial information and the adequacy of the internal accounting controls. Logically, the statement should be presented in close proximity to the formal financial statements. For example, R.A.d Jnae 2001 COPYRIGHT 02004, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) it could appear near the independent auditor's report, or in the financial review or management analysis section. Internal Auditors An effective internal audit team can be extremely helpful in performing aspects of the oversight function. Their knowledge about the entity may enable them to identify indicators that suggest fraud has been committed The Standards for the Professional Practice oflnternal Auditing (IIA Standards), issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors, state, "The internal auditor should have sufficient knowledge to identify the indicators of fraud but is not expected to have the expertise of a person whose primary responsibility is detecting and investigating fraud" Internal auditors also have the opportunity to evaluate fraud risks and controls and to recommend action to mitigate risks and improve controls. Specifically, the IIA Standards require intemal auditors to assess risks facing their organizations. This risk assessment is to serve as the basis from which audit plans are devised and against which internal controls are tested The IIA Standards require the audit plan to be presented to and approved by the audit committee (or board of directors where no audit committee exists). The work completed as a result of the audit plan provides assurance on which management's assertion about controls can be made. Internal audits can be both a detection and a deterrence measure. Internal auditors can assist in the deterrence of fraud by examining and evaluating the adequacy and the effectiveness of the system of internal control, commensurate with the extent of the potential exposure or risk in the various segments of the organization's operations. In carrying out this responsibility, internal auditors should, for example, determine whether: • The organizational environment fosters control consciousness. • Realistic organizational goals and objectives are set. • Written policies (for example, a code of conduct) exist that describe prohibited activities and the action required whenever violations are discovered • Appropriate authorization policies for transactions are established and maintained. • Policies, practices, procedures, reports, and other mechanisms are developed to monitor activities and safeguard assets, particularly in high-risk areas. • Communication channels provide management with adequate and reliable information. Recommendations need to be made for the establishment or enhancement of cost-effective controls to help deter fraud. Internal auditors may conduct proactive auditing to search for corruption, misappropriation of assets, and financial statement fraud This may include the use of computer-assisted audit techniques to detect particular types of fraud. Internal auditors also can employ analytical and other procedures to isolate anomalies and perform detailed reviews of high-risk accounts and transactions to identify potential financial statement fraud. The internal auditors should have an independent repotting line directly to the audit committee, to enable them to express any concerns about management's commitment to appropriate internal controls or to report Rev J.oe 2004 4S COFMGRT 02004, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBUC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) suspicions or allegations of fraud involving senior management Independent Auditors Independent auditors can assist management and the board of directors (or audit committee) by providing an assessment of the entity's process for identifying, assessing, and responding to the risks of fraud. The board of directors (or audit committee) should have an open and candid dialogue with the independent auditors regarding management's risk assessment process and the system of internal control. Such a dialogue should include a discussion of the susceptibility of the entity to fraudulent financial reporting and the entity's exposure to misappropriation of assets. Certified Fraud Examiners Certified fraud examiners may assist the audit committee and board of directors with aspects of the oversight process either directly or as part of a team of internal auditors or independent auditors. Certified fraud examiners can provide extensive knowledge and experience about fraud that may not be available within a corporation. They can provide more objective input into management's evaluation of the risk of fraud (especially fraud involving senior management, such as financial statement fraud) and the development of appropriate antifraud controls that are less vulnerable to management override. They can assist the audit committee and board of directors in evaluating the fraud risk assessment and fraud prevention measures implemented by management. Certified fraud examiners also conduct examinations to resolve allegations or suspicions of fraud, reporting either to an appropriate level of management or to the audit committee or board of directors, depending upon the nature of the issue and the level of personnel involved Other Information To obtain more information on fraud and implementing antifraud programs and controls, please go to the following Web sites where additional materials, guidance, and tools can be found American Institute of Certified Public v .aicpa.org Accountants Association of Certified Fraud Examiners w .cfenetwrn Financial Executives International w Sei.org Information Systems Audit and Control w .isacaorg Association The Institute of Intemal Auditors w .theiia.org hnitum of Management Accountants wJnienetorg National Association of Corporate Directors w .nacdoaline.org Society for Human Resource Management w .sbrmorg Attachment 1: AICPA "CPA's Handbook of Fraud and Commercial Crime Prevention," An RMSW Jon, 20H 46 COPYRIGHT 02001, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) Organizational Code of Conduct The following is an example of an organizational code of conduct, which includes definitions of what is considered unacceptable, and the consequences of any breaches thereof. The specific content and areas addressed in an entity's code of conduct should be specific to that entity. Revived Juae 2001 1 Organizational Code of Conduct The Organization and its employees must, at all times, comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The Organization will not condone the activities of employees who achieve results through violation of the law or unethical business dealings. This includes any payments for illegal acts, indirect contributions, rebates, and bribery. The Organization does not permit any activity that fails to stand the closest possible public scrutiny. All business conduct should be well above the minimum standards required by law. Accordingly, employees must ensure that their actions cannot be interpreted as being, in any way, in contravention of the laws and regulations governing the Organization's worldwide operations. Employees uncertain about the application or interpretation of any legal requirements should refer the matter to their superior, who, if necessary, should seek the advice of the legal department. General Employee Conduct The Organization expects its employees to conduct themselves in a businesslike manner. Drinking, gambling, fighting, swearing, and similar unprofessional activities are strictly prohibited while on the job. Employees must not engage in sexual harassment, or conduct themselves in a way that could be construed as such, for example, by using inappropriate language, keeping or posting inappropriate materials in their work area, or accessing inappropriate materials on their computer. Conflicts of Interest The Organization expects that employees will perform their duties conscientiously, honestly, and in accordance with the best interests of the Organization. Employees must not use their position or the knowledge gained as a result of their position for private or personal advantage. Regardless of the circumstances, if employees sense that a course of action they have pursued, are presently pursuing, or are contemplating pursuing may involve them in a conflict of interest with their employer, they should immediately communicate all the facts to their superior. Outside Activities, Employment, and Directorships All employees share a serious responsibility for the Organization's good public relations, /r COPYRIGHT 0 ZM. AMEMCAN mSTITUT6 OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA) especially at the community level. Their readiness to help with religious, charitable, educational, and civic activities brings credit to the Organization and is encouraged. Employees must, however, avoid acquiring any business interest or participating in any other activity outside the Organization that would, or would appear to: • Create an excessive demand upon their time and attention, thus depriving the Organization of their best efforts on the job. • Create a conflict of interest—an obligation, interest, or distraction—that may interfere with the independent exercise of judgment in the Organization's best interest. Relationships With Clients and Suppliers Employees should avoid investing in or acquiring a financial interest for their own accounts in any business organization that has a contractual relationship with the Organization, of that provides goods or services, or both to the Organization, if such investment or interest could influence or create the impression of influencing their decisions in the performance of their duties on behalf of the Organization. Gifts, Entertafnmen; and Favors Employees must not accept entertainment, gifts, or personal favors that could, in any way, influence, or appear to influence, business decisions in favor of any person or organization with whom or with which the Organization has, or is likely to have, business dealings. Similarly, employees must not accept any other preferential treatment under these circumstances because their position with the Organization might be inclined to, or be perceived to, place them under obligation. ■ Kickbacks and Secret Commissions ' Regarding the Organization's business activities, employees may not receive payment or compensation of any kind, except as authorized under the Organization's remuneration policies. In particular, the Organization strictly prohibits theacceptance of kickbacks and ' secret commissions from supplier; or others. Any breach of this Wile will result in immediate termination and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. ' Organization Funds and Other Assets Employees who have access to Organization funds in any form must follow the ' prescribed procedures for recording, handling, and protecting money as detailed in the Organization's instructional manuals or other explanatory materials, or both. The ' Organization imposes strict standards to prevent fraud and dishonesty. If employees become aware of any evidence of fraud and dishonesty, they should immediately advise their superior or the Law Department so that the Organization can promptly investigate ' further.

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 City's internal control structure consists of policies and procedures established by management to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial data are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported consistent with the assertions embodied in the financial statements. In establishing those policies and procedures, management assesses their expected benefits and related costs. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any assessment of the internal control structure to future periods is subject to the risk that policies or procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Allen for the year ended September 30, 2004, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. However, during our audit, we noted certain matters involving accounting internal control structure and other operational matters that are presented for your consideration. These matters, which were considered by us during our audit of the financial statements and do not modify the opinion expressed in our report dated February 1, 2005, are presented in the following paragraphs. We will review the status of these comments during our next audit engagement. Our comments and recommendations are intended to improve the internal control structure or result in other operating efficiencies. Additionally, we evaluated the status of the comments from our audit of the previous year.

WWW WEAVERANDTIDW ELL LOM AN INDEPENDENT MESEEN OF AKER LILLY INTERNATIONAL CITY OF ALLEN, TEXAS March 11, 2005 Page Two Recommendation: We recommend that such reconciliations be performed on a monthly basis when any discrepancies can be more easily and quickly researched and resolved. In addition, regular ' comparisons of capital expenditure with recorded capital assets additions should be done to help ensure all capital expenditures are entered into the fixed assets module. ' Management's Response: Prior to GASB34 reporting requirements, the City did not utilize a computerized fixed asset application. During fiscal year 2002-03, the fixed asset application was being ' developed, allowing the City to report assets (after a physical inventory) in time for GASB 34 implementation. The depreciation portion of the application was not fully developed, however, which resulted in depreciation for the FY2002-03 audit to be calculated using both Excel formulas and the fixed asset application. In February 2004, the prior year's audit schedules were revised and updated to improve detail required for GASB 34 reporting requirements for the upcoming year's audit. That ' process determined that assets in one fund were incorrectly classified. The procedures correct the classification of the assets involved recalculation of prior year's depreciation which required more work for the auditors to re -validate the revised information. "due In response to the auditor's comments on spending significant time to the volume of additions and dispositions; the City's growth has impacted the time staff can allocate to fixed assets. Currently, fixed asset acquisitions are, on average, accounted for on a ' weekly or bi-weekly basis. Once staffing levels are improved, more time will be devoted to fixed asset reporting requirements. Assess the Finance Department Staffing Needs Observation: It was apparent from the finance department's level of preparedness at the start of the audit ' that the resignation of accounting staff prior to the audit, along with increasing responsibilities, put a strain on the current staff to prepare requested audit schedules timely ' and accurately. A significant amount of audit time was spent assisting the City staff in completing supporting schedules. The situation described above may carry over to getting regular day-to-day assignments complete in a timely manner as the City grows and transactions and reporting requirements increase. ' Recommendation: We recommend that the staffing needs of the finance department be assessed and that consideration be given to increasing capacity through hiring or reorganizing the current responsibilities. With the expansion of the City's operations and reporting requirements, we believe serious consideration should be given to adding an experienced staff that would assist with financial reporting, as well as with the day-to-day supervision of accounting activities. Management's Response: Growth of the City, new reporting requirements, and new City activities have all contributed to the increase in professional accounting work required of existing staff. This year's audit was especially difficult with the resignation of a senior accountant just before year-end. Staffing shortages during the past year will be addressed with the ' training of the new senior accountant hired in October and the approval of another professional accountant position.
