• <br />Consultations with Other Independent Accountants <br />In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting <br />matters, similaz to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application <br />of an accounting principle to City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors' opinion <br />that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standazds require the consulting accountant to <br />check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no <br />such consultations with other accountants. <br />Issues Discussed Prior to Retention oflndependentAuditor <br />We generally discuss a vaziety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing <br />standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City's auditors. However, these discussions <br />occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our <br />retention. <br />Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit <br />We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing our audit.
