not consider these to be material weaknesses;

applicable laws and regulations which could have a material effect on the basic
financial statements;

provisions of laws and regulations related to major programs required to be

We are pleased to submit the statewide Single Audit Report of the Commonwealth of Virginia for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

The Single Audit Report for the Commonwealth of Virginia discloses the Commonwealth’s
compliance with requirements applicable to major federal financial assistance programs. The statewide
Single Audit Report provides the General Assembly and agency management with a means to determine how
internal controls affect federal funds and whether agencies are complying with federal laws and regulations.

I would like to express my appreciation to the many individuals whose efforts assisted in preparing
this report. This report could not have been accomplished without the professionalism and dedication
demonstrated by the staff within this Office. We would like to recognize the agency and institution
management, and federal program and financial staffs for their cooperation and assistance in resolving single
audit issues.

We believe this report represents a significant indication of the sound fiscal operations of federal
funds in the Commonwealth. The report should greatly assist agency management in administering federal
programs and enhance their dealings with federal agencies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE

AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the Commonwealth of Virginia as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006, which collectively
comprise the Commonwealth’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December
14, 2006. This report relates only to the Commonwealth and not to certain agencies and component units that
were audited by other auditors discussed in Note 1 of the “Notes to Financial Statements.” We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Commonwealth’s internal control over
financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions
on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting.
However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation
that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention
relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting
that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Commonwealth’s ability to initiate, record, process, and
report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. Reportable
conditions are described in the accompanying “Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs” as items 06-01
through 06-21.

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 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. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not
necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However,
we believe that none of the reportable conditions described above is a material weakness.


2
Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Commonwealth’s 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.

We noted certain additional matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that were
not reportable conditions and immaterial instances on noncompliance that we have reported to the
management of the individual state agencies and institutions.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Governor and General Assembly of
Virginia, management, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, this report is a matter of public
record and its distribution is not limited.
