Staffreport
CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY
• Fiscal Sustainability and Transparency
SUMMARY
Adoption of a Resolution accepting the Single Audit Report and receive and file the Memorandum on Internal Control and Required Communications for the City of San Leandro for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a Resolution accepting the Single Audit Report and receive and file the Memorandum on Internal Control and Required Communications for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND
The City’s independent auditors, Maze and Associates, completed the audit of the City’s FY 2025 financial records and issued the Single Audit Report. Due to the timing of federal grant reporting deadlines, the Single Audit Report is issued separately from the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The report was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements and Government Auditing Standards.
Because the Single Audit represents the final phase of the overall audit process, the auditors have also issued the Memorandum on Internal Control and the Required Communications.
These documents are key components of the City’s year-end financial reporting requirements. To present the ACFR and other independent auditor reports to the City Council as expeditiously as possible, the Single Audit Report, Memorandum on Internal Controls, and Required Communications were not included in the materials provided to the Council in February 2026. Instead, these items were deferred until the final versions were completed in April 2026.
ANALYSIS
The reports described below are required annually as part of the City’s audit process.
Single Audit Report
This report is required for any public agency that expends more than $750,000 in federal grant funds and is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse to ensure compliance with the Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Guidance. For the current audit period, the auditors reported no findings.
Memorandum on Internal Control
This memorandum provides formal communication from the external auditors identifying weaknesses in financial reporting, operational efficiency, or regulatory compliance identified during an audit. It outlines specific deficiencies-such as inadequate segregation of duties or incomplete reconciliations-and provides recommendations to strengthen internal controls and mitigate risk. For the current audit period, the auditors reported no findings.
Required Communications
This letter, required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for all financial statement audits, provides formal communication to the City Council regarding the audit process. It includes disclosures related to the auditors’ responsibilities, the scope and timing of the audit, significant accounting policies, management estimates, any difficulties encountered, and any corrected or uncorrected misstatements. It also addresses the auditors’ assessment of the City’s financial reporting quality and any significant matters discussed with management. For the current audit period, the auditors reported no issues requiring further action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action.
