IC&L Caporicci & Larson Certified Public Accountants REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS The Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redwood City Redwood City, California We have audited the basic financial statements of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redwood City (Agency), a component unit of the City of Redwood City (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005, and have issued our report thereon dated October 20, 2005. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements of the Agency are free of material misstatements, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provision of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statements amounts. Such provisions included those provisions of laws identified in the Guidelines for Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, issued by the State Controller and as interpreted in the Suggested Auditing Procedures for Accomplishing Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, issued by the Governmental Accounting and Auditing Committee of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants. 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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Agency's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the component unit financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A 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 misstatements 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 the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. This report is intended for the information of management and the State Controller. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. ~~. f 6:u~ Oakland, California October 20, 2005 Toll Free Ph: (877) 862-2200 Toll Free Fax: (866) 436-0927 Oakland 180 Grand Ave., Suite 1365 Oakland, California 94612 Orange County 3184-D Airway Avenue Costa Mesa, California 92626 Sacramento 777 Campus Commons Rd., Suite 200 Sacramento, California 95825 San Diego 4858 Mercury, Suite 105 San Diego, California 92111
