Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal <br />control. <br />A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow <br />management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or <br />detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a <br />combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a <br />material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and <br />corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in <br />internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention <br />by those charged with governance. <br />Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of <br />this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material <br />weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any <br />deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material <br />weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. <br />Compliance and Other Matters <br />As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's financial statements are free <br />from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, <br />regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and <br />Rehmann is an independent member of Nexia International <br />CPAs & Consultants Wealth Advisors Corporate Investigators <br />290 <br />xmota <br />I NT LRNATI()NAI <br />
