STATE OF ARIZONA OFFICE OF THE DEBRA K. DAVENPORT, CPA AUDITOR GENERAL AUDITOR GENERAL W D I EP L U L T I Y A AU M D IT T O H R O GE M NE S R O AL N Independent Auditors Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Basic Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards Members of the Arizona State Legislature The Governing Board of Maricopa County Community College District We have audited the financial statements of the business-type activities and discretely presented component unit of Maricopa County Community College District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005, which collectively comprise the Districts basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 5, 2005. Our report was modified as to consistency because of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 40 and was modified due to our reliance on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The financial statements of the discretely presented component unit were not audited by the other auditors in accordance with Government Auditing Standards . Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Districts internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the basic financial statements and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the basic financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Districts basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards . 2910 NORTH 44 th STREET SUITE 410 PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85018 (602) 553-0333 FAX (602) 553-0051

STATE OF ARIZONA OFFICE OF THE DEBRA K. DAVENPORT, CPA ON AUDITOR GENERAL AUDITOR GENERAL W DE I P L U L TY I A AU M DI T T O H R O GE M NE S RAL Independent Auditors Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable to Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133 Members of the Arizona State Legislature The Governing Board of Maricopa County Community College District Compliance We have audited the compliance of Maricopa County Community College District with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Districts major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditors Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the Districts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Districts compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Districts compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Districts compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, Maricopa County Community College District complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2005. However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of noncompliance with those requirements that is required to be reported in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, and is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 05-101.
