City of National City, California
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the financial statements of the City of National City, California (the City) as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated December 23,
2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of National City' financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
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 or other matters that are required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that
is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance. We consider items 2010-01 through 2010-05 as described in the accompanying
Schedule of Findings and Questioned costs to be significant deficiencies in internal control.
Honorable Members of the City Council
City of National City, California
Page Two
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies
in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily
disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weakness. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be
material weaknesses, as defined above.
We noted certain matters we reported to the management of the City of National City in a
separate letter dated December 23, 2010.
The City's written responses to the significant deficiencies identified in our audit have not been
subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly,
we express no opinion on them.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City's management and City
Council and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

Honorable Members of the City Council
City of National City, California
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A
DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM, INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF FEDERAL AWARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of National City, California (the City) with the types
of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs
for the year ended June 30, 2010. The City's major federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned
costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to
each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and
OMB Circular A-133. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major
federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's
compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with those
requirements.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2010.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants
applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's
internal control over compliance with the requirements 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 opinion on compliance and to test and report internal control over compliance
in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is more than a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance
with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal
control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as
defined above.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of National
City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 23, 2010. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an oinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards and the supplementary information (the Financial Data Schedule) are presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.
This report is intended for the information of the City's management, federal awarding agencies
and pass -through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
those
specified parties.

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
(Continued)
(B) Findings Related to the Financial Statements which are Required to be Reported in
Accordance with GAGAS
(2010-01) Reporting of Notes Receivable
During the audit, Finance Department staff identified 6 different loans, which in the
aggregate totaled approximately $9.5 million dollars, which were issued by the
Community Development Commission (CDC) in previous years dating back to 1995.
These agreements were entered into for appropriate Commission activities; however,
these transactions were not reported in the accounting system as receivables of the
CDC. These unreported transactions resulted in restatement of fund balance and net
assets in the City and CDC's financial statements. The proper recording of
receivables allow the City and CDC to monitor these funds and projects to insure that
funds will be repaid in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Recommendation
We recommend that Community Development Commission and City Finance
Department staff develop policies and procedures for communicating, documenting,
and recording of significant loan transactions to insure that activities of the
Commission are properly reflected in the accounting records. These policies and
procedures should also include enhanced monitoring controls over the loans issued to
ensure repayment is appropriately recorded and that the monies are being used in
accordance with the agreements terms and conditions.
Managements Corrective Action Planned or Taken
We concur with the recommendation and Finance staff will develop policies and
procedures on recording Notes Receivables. It should be noted that the six different
loans totaling $9.5 million were entered into as early as 1995 and pre -dates existing
management.
(2010-02) Internal Service Fund Charges
During our audit, we noted that the method for determining and allocating internal
service fund charges to other departments and funds of the City had not been
appropriately updated. During the 2010 fiscal year, the revenues received by the
City's internal service funds were unchanged from 2009. Proper charges from
internal service plans should be determined during the budgeting process and should
reflect the actual cost incurred to provide the services rendered by the internal service
fund. This process should be updated, reviewed, and approved on an annual basis.

(B) Findings Related to the Financial Statements which are Required to be Reported in
Accordance with GAGAS, (Continued)
(2010-02) Internal Service Fund Charges, (Continued)
Recommendation
We recommend that the City perform a reconciliation of estimated expenses versus
actual expenses, and to make the appropriate journal entries so that internal services
funds are fully reimbursed for actual costs incurred or to insure user departments are
not over charged should actual expenses be less than budget.
Managements Corrective Action Planned or Taken
We concur with the recommendation. Management is in the process of contracting
services to perform a full review of the internal fund charge formula. With the
merger of the Community Development Commission's operations with the City of
National City as well as the other City organizational changes, the internal charge
methodology requires a more detailed review to ensure all departments are being
charged appropriately. Once the methodology has been approved, the finance staff
will reconcile estimated expenses vs actual expenses and adjust the charges
accordingly. The internal services charges will be updated on an annual basis.
(2010-03) Interfund Transactions
The proper use of short term interfund transactions (due to/from other funds) are
used to eliminate deficits of cash in particular funds or to report short terms loans
between funds that are due and payable within 12 months. Long-term loans between
funds of the City are generally due within more than one year (advances to/from
other funds), and they may accrue interest to the lending fund and should be
approved by City Council.
During the June 30, 2010 audit, we noted that the interfund accounts are not being
used by the City in the aforementioned situations. This has resulted in numerous
funds of the City having both receivables and payables to other funds, and in many
cases, the funds that are receiving these loans have adequate cash balances to support
thier operations.
Recommendation
We recommend the interfund accounts that are a result long term borrowing need to
be formally approved by Council and document these interfund loans as long-term
advances between the borrowing funds and funds from which an advance was made.
We also recommend that the City implement and document monitoring controls to
insure that interfund borrowing does not affect restricted funds and to implement
procedures to insure that the interfund accounts are not used to record routine or
monthly transactions.

Interfund Transactions, (Continued)
Managements Corrective Action Planned or Taken
We concur with the recommendation. The financial accounting system has been
programmed to record entries as short term interfund transactions (due to/due from).
The Finance Director will work closely with the city's accounting software
programmers to correct the system generated entry and use the short term interfund
transactions only as needed.
(2010-04) Adjustments Detected During the Audit Process
The Auditing Standards requires that the auditor include in the report of significant
deficiencies any material adjustments detected by the audit process. For the year in
June 30, 2010, material adjustments detected by the audit process were as follows.
• Accrual payroll adjusted by $187,202 to reflect additional liabilities associated
with payroll incurred as of June 30, 2010.
• Increased capital assets, cash with fiscal agent and recorded long-term capital
lease in the amount of $507,000, $1,248,323, and $1,755,160, respectively,
relating to a transaction entered into by the City, but not recorded in the City's
general ledger.
• Recorded interest receivable as of June 30, 2010 in certain restricted funds to
properly reflect those funds income and pooled cash balances at year end.
• Reduced interfund loans reported in restricted funds due to the fact that the
borrowing funds had adequate pooled cash balances and to reduce the interfund
loans in restricted funds of the City.
Recommendation
Paragraph 15 of the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 115 specifies that material
adjustments identified through the audit process are an indication of weaknesses in
an entity's internal control structure. Efforts should be made to enhance the City's
year end closing procedures to include areas that resulted in audit adjustments in
2010.

(2010-04) Adjustments Detected During the Audit Process, (Continued)
Management's Responses Regarding Corrective Action Taken or Planned
We concur with the recommendation. The finance staff will update the year end
closing procedures to ensure that all material adjustments are detected and recorded.
(2010-05) Consolidation of Funds in the Accounting System
Currently, the City has over one hundred funds in their accounting system. Although
some funds are required to be reported separately, the majority of the City fiends may
be combined into the same fund if they are similar in nature (i.e. certain grants).
Different revenue and expenditure accounts may be used to segregate those funds
that are combined into one in order to continue to account for them separately.
Furthermore, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, they City will have to
implement Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which will further require the
City to potentially consolidate certain funds for financial reporting purposes; having
such a significant number of funds to analyze will require considerable efforts from
City and Finance Department staff
Recommendation
We recommend that the City evaluate each fund of the City and determine if there is
an appropriate need to have a separate fund for the identified activities. Funds that
are determined to not meet those criteria should be closed and reported with the
General Fund. Through this process, the City used consider the impacts of GASB 54
to ensure that the accounting records will be appropriate for these new reporting
standards.
Management's Responses Regarding Corrective Action Taken or Planned
We concur with the recommendation. Finance staff have begun review of the funds
in the accounting system and will recommend consolidation of funds to the City
Manager. In addition, the city will consider contracting services for the
implementation of GASB 54 to ensure compliance with the new reporting standard.
