Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)

The Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) present the financial position and the changes in the financial position for each fiscal year. The basic financial statements and supporting schedules have been prepared in compliance with California Government code Sections 25250 and 25253 and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for local governments as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in the reports. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse, to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to comply with laws and regulations. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the financial reports are complete, and accurate in all material respects, and are reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations of various funds and component units of the City. All material statements and disclosures necessary for the reader to obtain a thorough understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.
