We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for Bannock County, Idaho for the
year ended September 30, 2026.
Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit 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, including
the disclosures, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements, of Bannock County, Idaho as of and for
the year ended September 30, 2026. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management's discussion and
analysis (MD&A), to supplement Bannock County, Idaho's basic financial statements. Such information, although
not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to
Bannock County, Idaho's RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient appropriate evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
The following RSI is required by GAAP and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management's Discussion and Analysis.
2) Schedule of expenditures of federal awards
3) Schedule of employer's share of net pension liability
4) Schedule of employer contributions
5) Schedule of changes in total OPEB liability and related ratios
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies Bannock
County, Idaho's financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing
and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole in a separate written
report accompanying our auditor's report on the financial statements.
1) Schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
2) Combining and individual fund statements
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, we will read the following other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements,
or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude
that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
1) Statistical section
9 BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING OCTOBER 20, 2026
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinions about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, In all material respects, in conformity with
GAAP and report on the fairness of the supplementary Information referred to in the second paragraph when
considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole, Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS
and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements,
including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there Is a substantial likelincod
that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the Judgment cf a reasonable user made based on the
financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on:
¢ — laternal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and
award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements fn
accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
¢ If applicable - Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of
opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards
that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act
Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements and Single Audlt (if applicabfe)
We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; the standards for financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of
1996; and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of
major program(s) in accordance with Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us
to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and datermine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair preseniation. We will plan and perform the audit ta obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2)
fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental! regulations
that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government.
Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect
auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to
provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and
because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some
material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned
and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed
to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of
management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to
our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental
regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include such matters in the reports
required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not
extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered
in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government's ability to continue as a gaing concern for a
reasonable period of time.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts,
tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain assets and liabilities
by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will also
request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement.
We have identified the following significant risk(s) of material misstatement as part of our audit planning:
10 BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING OCTOBER 20, 2026
According to GAAS, significant risks include management override of controls, and GAAS presumes that revenue
recognition is a significant risk. Accordingly, we have considered these as significant risks. We also consider cash
and cash equivalents to oe a significant risk.
We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your
account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to
maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies,
procedures, and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure
confidentiality agreements with all service providers fo maintain the confidentlality of your information and we will
take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the
unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an
appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your
confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work
provided by any such third-party service providers.
Our audit of financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.
Audit Procedures—tinternal Control
We will cbtain an understanding of the government and its environment, Including the system of internal control,
sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that Is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentation, or the override of internal control, Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness
of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the
financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other
noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed,
will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal contro! and, accordingly, no apinion
will be expressed in our report on Internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
As required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness
of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance
with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will be less in
scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be
expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
An audit fs not designed to provide assurance on internal contral or to identify significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to
management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be
communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance.
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
we will perform tests of Bannock County, idaho’s compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations,
contracts, and agreements, Including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to
provide an opinion on overall compliance, and we will not express such an opinion in our repart on compliance
issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the auditee has complied with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards
applicable to major programs. If this audit is required, our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other
applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements
that could have a direct and material effect on each of Bannock County, Idaho’s major programs. For federal
programs that are included in the Compliance Supplement, our compliance and internal control procedures will
relate to the compliance requirements that the Compliance Supplement identifies as being subject to audit. The
purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on Bannock County, Idaho’s compliance with
requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform
Guidance.
