and the audit of the County’s Federal grants that will be completed on June 30, 2018, which focuses on
compliance of the rules and regulations of the grants. The main deliverable is the opinion on the County’s
financial statements, which is included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and
begins on Page 21 and goes through Page 23. The County did receive an unmodified audit opinion,
which means that the financial statements are in compliance with all the rules and regulations. A new
paragraph was added this year title, “Emphasis of Matter”, which highlights the fact that the County did
implement a new accounting standard in the current year, GASB 74 and 75, which changed the way the
County reports its retiree assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Mr. Brickey and Tim St.
Andrews gave some highlights of the audit and graph presentation that was provided to the Committee.

Farmington Sewage Disposal System with a 20-year upward useful life. Oakland County will pledge the
