' Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the Town is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, ' contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town's internal control over compliance with require- ments that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in ' order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opin- ion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133. ' Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A t material weakness is a 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 noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major federal program 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 the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of the Town as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997, and have issued our report thereon dated September 5, 1997. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional ' analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general-purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole. ' This report is intended for the information of management and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities. However, this report is a matter of public ' record and its distribution is not limited. Nashua, New Hampshire September 5, 1997 4
