INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of TrusteesThe Town of Goldsby, Oklahoma

Report on Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying modified cash basis financial statements of the governmental activities, thebusiness-type activities, and each major fund of the Town of Goldsby, Oklahoma, as of and for the year ended June 30,2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town’s basic financialstatements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance withthe modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1; this includes determining that the modified cash basis ofaccounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management isalso responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation andfair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit inaccordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable tofinancial audits contained in Governmental Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks ofmaterial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, theauditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements inorder to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accountingestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinions.

The Town of GoldsbyNotes to the Basic Financial StatementsAs of and for the Year Ended June 30, 2016

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1A. Introduction

The Town’s financial statements are prepared using the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a basis of accountingother than generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. The GovernmentalAccounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through itspronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). These modified cash basis financial statements generally meet thepresentation and disclosure requirements applicable to GAAP in substance, but are limited to the elements presented inthe financial statements and the constraints of the measurement and recognition criteria of the modified cash basis ofaccounting. Generally, that means that only items arising from cash transactions are recorded. Accounts receivable andaccounts payable, for instance, are not recorded.

1B. Financial Reporting Entity

The Town of Goldsby, Oklahoma, was organized in 1962 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. TheTown of Goldsby (Town) operates under the Statutory Town Board of Trustees form of government and provides thefollowing major services: public safety, streets, public improvements, planning and zoning, and generaladministration. In addition, the Town owns and operates an airport, a water system, and a trash service.

These financial statements present the Town (the primary government) and its component units in conformity withGASB-14. The financial statements of the Town’s Title 60 Trusts have been included in the financial reporting entity asblended component units because their operating and financial relationships are significant to the Town.

1B1. Blended Component Units

The Goldsby Airport Trust (GAT) was established April 4, 1991, to operate the David J. Perry Airport. GAT is a legallyseparate entity from the Town and is governed by a board of 5 trustees appointed by the Town board.

1C. Basis of Presentation

1C1. Fund Accounting

The Town uses fund accounting to maintain its financial records. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity witha self-balancing set of accounts that comprises its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows ofresources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. The Town’s funds are organized into two categories:governmental and proprietary. Within these categories, funds are further defined as major or non-major. The emphasisin fund financial statements is on major funds in either the governmental or business-type activities categories asdefined by GASB 34. The Town has one governmental fund and three business-type funds.

1C2. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus

Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized in the accounts andreported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurementfocus applied. Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded.

1C2a. Modified Cash Basis of Accounting

The modified cash basis of accounting is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP, and is a modification ofthe pure cash basis of accounting. Professional standards define the cash basis of accounting as a basis of accounting anentity uses to record cash receipts and disbursements, and modifications of the cash basis having substantial support (forexample, recording depreciation on fixed assets.) Although the modified cash basis of accounting is not separatelydefined by professional standards, the modifications to the cash basis have evolved over time through common practice,and generally result when cash receipts or disbursements provide a benefit or obligation covering multiple reportingperiods, and the reporting of the cash transaction would be more meaningful to financial statement users if spread overthose multiple periods.

For modifications to be considered to have substantial support, they should:

1. be made as a result of cash receipts or disbursements;2. have substantial support in GAAP or other accounting literature; and3. be logical.

The government-wide financial statements are highly aggregated financial statements that present financial informationfor all assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows, and net assets using the economic resources measurementfocus within the limitations of the modified cash basis of accounting. This means that revenues are recorded whenreceived and expenses, with the exception of capitalizing and depreciating capital assets, are recorded when paid. Thegovernment-wide financial statements required are the statement of net assets and the statement of activities. Thesefinancial statements are designed to help users asses the finances of a government in its entirety, including the year’soperating results; determine whether the government’s overall financial position improved or deteriorated; andevaluate whether the government’s current-year revenues were sufficient to pay for current year services. They are alsodesigned to help users assess the cost of providing services to its citizenry; determine how the government finances itsprograms; understand the extent to which the government has invested in capital assets; and make better comparisonsbetween governments.

1C4. Governmental Fund Financial Statements

The general fund of the Town is a governmental fund. The governmental fund financial statements focus primarily onthe sources, uses, and balances of current financial resources. They are presented using the current financial resourcesmeasurement focus and the modified cash basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are received andexpenditures are recorded when paid. The financial statements required for governmental funds are the balance sheetand the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. The governmental fund balance sheet doesnot present capital assets or long-term liabilities. Instead, the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fundbalance reports the financial resource inflows and outflows arising from the disposition and acquisition of capital assets,the issuance and repayment of long-term debt, and maturation of non-debt long-term liabilities. Capital assets andlong-term liabilities associated with and generally arising from activities reported in governmental funds are reportedonly in the government-wide financial statements.

1C5. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements

The Title 60 trusts of the town are proprietary funds. The proprietary funds utilize an economic resources measurementfocus within the limitations of the modified cash basis of accounting, the objectives of which involves the determinationof operating income, changes in net position, net position, and cash flows. The accounting principles applicable arethose similar to businesses in the private sector. The Town maintains three proprietary funds, which are enterprisefunds. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations for which a fee is charged to external users for goods orservices and the activity is financed with debt that is solely secured by a pledge of the net revenues; has third partyrequirements that the cost of providing services, including capital costs, be recovered with fees and charges; orestablishes fees and charges based on a pricing policy designed to recover similar costs.

1D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits,and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

1E. Investments

The governing body has not formally adopted deposit and investment policies that limit the government’s allowabledeposits or investments and address the specific types of risk to which the government is exposed. However, it isthe policy of the governing body to require deposits in excess of FDIC limits to be collateralized as required by OklahomaStatutes.

Investments are accounted for in accordance with GASB-31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments,which states that investments held at year end with original maturities greater than one year are stated at fair value.Fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices at year-end. All investments not required to be reported at fairvalue are stated at cost or amortized cost.

1F. Inventories

Inventories are valued using the average cost basis (AVCO), which approximates market. GAT inventories consist of fuelfor resale.

1G. Interfund Activity

Interfund activity is reported either as loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported asinterfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services provided,deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursementsare when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as areimbursement. All other Interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental orproprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements.

1H. Capital Assets

Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $2,000 or more are reported at historical cost or estimatedhistorical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair market value as of the date received. Depreciation on all assets isprovided on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and improvements 30 to 40 yearsVehicles and equipment 3 to 20 yearsInfrastructure 20 to 50 years

GASB-34 required the Town to report and depreciate new infrastructure assets effective with the 2004 year.Infrastructure assets include roads, sidewalks, bridges, traffic signals, etc. These infrastructure assets are likely to be thelargest asset class of the Town. Neither their historical cost nor related depreciation has been reported in the financialstatements. Retroactive reporting is not required.

1I. Equity Classifications

In the government-wide statements, equity is classified as net position and reported in three components as follows:

1. Net investment in capital assets – Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, are reduced by theoutstanding balances of any debt attributable to their acquisition, construction, or improvement.

2. Restricted – Net assets that have had constraints placed upon them either by external sources such ascreditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or law through constitutionalprovisions or enabling legislation.

3. Unrestricted – All other net assets that do not meet the definition of the previous two classifications.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance and reported as needed in fivecomponents as follows:

1. Nonspendable – amounts not in a spendable form, or legally or contractually required to be maintainedintact.

2. Restricted – constraints placed on fund balance are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, or othergovernments; or are imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

3. Committed – amounts that can only be used for specific purposes as a result of constraints imposed byformal action of the individual government’s highest level of decision making authority.

4. Assigned – constraints placed on fund balance are imposed by the government’s intent that it be used forspecific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. An individual government must define and

14

disclose how it expresses its intent for purposes of making assignments. For the Town, this intent isexpressed by the use of purchase orders encumbering amounts for assigned purposes as approved by theboard of trustees.

5. Unassigned – remaining fund balance in excess of all other classifications.

1J. Revenues and Expenditures

Program revenues in the government-wide statements include charges paid by the recipients of the goods or servicesoffered by the programs, and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capitalrequirements of a particular program. Revenues not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues.In proprietary funds, operating revenues and expenses result from providing the goods or services that are the fundsprincipal ongoing operations. Revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are nonoperating revenues andexpenses. Subsidies and grants to proprietary funds, which finance either capital or current operations, are reported asnonoperating revenue based on GASB-33. In applying GASB-33 to grant revenues, the provider recognizes liabilities andexpenses and the recipient recognizes receivables and revenue when the applicable eligibility requirements, includingtime requirements, are met. Resources transmitted before eligibility requirements are met are reported as advances bythe provider and deferred revenue by the recipient.

1K. Use of Restricted Resources

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restrictedresources first, and then unrestricted resources as needed. When both assigned and unassigned resources are availablefor use, it is the government’s policy to use assigned resources first, and then unassigned resources as needed.

2. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

The board of trustees adopts legally required annual operating budgets each year for each fund. The same modifiedcash basis of accounting used for fund financial reporting purposes is used for budgetary purposes. At the fund level,actual expenditures cannot exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level. Budgetary transfers betweendepartments of the same fund are approved by the board when required. Supplemental appropriations, if needed, areapproved by the board and submitted to the state auditor's office as required by state statutes. All appropriations lapseat the end of the fiscal year. Encumbrance accounting is not used. For the year just ended, five general fundamendments were approved by the trustees.

3. Risk Management

The Town is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; thefts of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors andomissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Town manages this risk through the purchase ofcommercial insurance policies. Risk management activities are accounted for by fund, and claims are recognized when itis probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining claims,events that might create claims, but for which none have been reported, are considered. There was no claims activity forthe year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCEAND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of TrusteesThe Town of Goldsby, Oklahoma

We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and thestandards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the ComptrollerGeneral of the United States, the modified cash basis financial statements of the governmental activities, thebusiness-type activities, and each fund of the Town of Goldsby, Oklahoma, as of and for the year ended June 30,2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements ofthe Town of Goldsby, and have issued our report thereon dated January 30, 2017.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the internal control over financialreporting of the Town of Goldsby to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances forthe purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinionon the effectiveness of the Town of Goldsby’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on theeffectiveness of the Town of Goldsby’s internal control.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was notdesigned to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies,and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, asdescribed in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, we identified certain deficiencies ininternal control that we consider to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management oremployees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internalcontrol such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statementswill not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency 2016-1 described inthe accompanying schedule of findings and responses to be a material weakness.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than amaterial weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

The Town of GoldsbySchedule of Findings and ResponsesFor the Year Ended June 30, 2016

2016-1 This is a repeat finding from 2015.

Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to insure all reports related to water and trash billings andrelated fees are printed at least monthly and reconciled to the general ledger.

Condition: Reports related to water and trash billings and related fees are not being printed regularly orreconciled to the general ledger at least monthly.

Cause: There are no established procedures to insure that all reports related to water and trash billingsand related fees are printed regularly or reconciled to the general ledger at least monthly.

Effect: Because water and trash billings and related fees are not being reconciled between the billingsystem, the general ledger, or other subsidiary schedules at least monthly, errors in either the billingsystem, the general ledger, customer accounts, or impact or other fees may exist and not be correctedon a timely basis.

Recommendation: We recommend that procedures be established to make sure billing reports areprinted timely and reconciled to the general ledger monthly.

Response: In April of 2016 we set up a schedule of billing reports that need to be printed and reconciledto the general ledger monthly and are now making sure that the reports are printed and thereconciliations are performed monthly.
