INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The Honorable Mayor and Membersof the Common Council

City of PlainfieldCounty of UnionPlainfield, New Jersey 07061

We have audited the accompanying financial statements - regulatory basis of the variousindividual funds of the City of Plainfield, County of Union, New Jersey as of June 30, 2011 and2010 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, listed as financial statements - regulatorybasis in the foregoing table of contents. These financial statements - regulatory basis are the

responsibility of the management of the City of Plainfield, County of Union. Our responsibility is

to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordancewith U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financialstatements contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States, the audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government

Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey and the provisions of U.S.Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governmentsand Non-Profit Organizations" and State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04, "Single AuditPolicy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid". Those standards andprovisions require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statementpresentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, the City of Plainfield, County of Union, prepares its financial

statements on a prescribed basis of accounting prescribed by the Division of Local GovernmentServices, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, that demonstratescompliance with the modified accrual basis, with certain exceptions, and the budget laws of NewJersey, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally acceptedaccounting principles. In addition, we were unable to audit the General Fixed Assets AccountGroup because the financial records were not updated for Capital Asset additions andretirements for the year ended June 30, 2011. The effect on the financial statements of notmaintaining current accounting records for this account group cannot be determined.

SUPLEE, CLOONEY & COMPANY

In our opinion, because the City of Plainfield prepares its financial statements on thebasis of accounting discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred toabove do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, thefinancial position of the various individual funds of the City of Plainfield, County of Union, as ofJune 30, 2011 and 2010 or the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the

years then ended or the revenues or expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

However, in our opinion, except for such adjustments, if any, as might have beendetermined to be necessary had we been able to audit the General Fixed Assets AccountGroup, the financial statements - regulatory basis present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position - regulatory basis of the various individual funds of the City of Plainfield,County of Union, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in

fund balance - regulatory basis for the fiscal years then ended and the revenues, expendituresand changes in fund balance - regulatory basis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, on thebasis of accounting described in Note 1.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report

dated February 13, 2012 on our consideration of the City of Plainfield's internal control overfinancial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,contracts and grants and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope ofour testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of thattesting, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting orcompliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance withGovernment Auditing Standards and is important for assessing the results of our audit.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements -regulatory basis taken as a whole. The information included in the schedules of federal awardsand state financial assistance and the other supplementary schedules and data listed in thetable of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments andNon-Profit Organizations" and State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04, "Single Audit Policy forRecipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid" and the Division of Local GovernmentServices, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, and is not a required part ofthe financial statements. This information has been subjected to the auditing proceduresapplied in the audit of the financial statements mentioned above and, in our opinion, is fairlystated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

This report is intended for the information of the City of Plainfield, County of Union, NewJersey, the Division of Local Government Services and federal and state audit agencies, and is

not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

CITY OF PLAINFIELD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Reporting Entity

The City of Plainfield is an instrumentality of the State of New Jersey,

established to function as a municipality. The City Council consists of

elected officials and is responsible for the fiscal control of the City.

Except as noted below, the financial statements of the City of Plainfield

include every board, body, officer or commission supported and

maintained wholly or in part by funds appropriated by the City of

Plainfield, as required by N.J.S.A. 40A:5-5. Accordingly, the financial

statements of the City of Plainfield do not include the operations of themunicipal library or the board of education, inasmuch as their activities

are administered by separate boards.

B. Description of Funds

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted

standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and

financial reporting principles. GASB Codification establishes three fund

types, governmental, proprietary and fiduciary, to be used by governmental units when reporting financial position and results of operations in

accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

In addition, the GASB Codification requires the presentation of an entitywide statement of net assets and statement of activities to be included in

the basic financial statements.

The accounting policies of the City of Plainfield conform to the accountingprinciples applicable to municipalities which have been prescribed by the

Division of Local Government Services, Department of CommunityAffairs, State of New Jersey. Such principles and practices are designed

primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary

restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public

officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting,

the financial transactions and accounts of the City of Plainfield are

organized on the basis of funds and an account group which is differentfrom the fund structure required by GAAP. A fund or account group is anaccounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts

established to record the financial position and results of operation of aspecific government activity. As required by the Division of Local

Government Services the City accounts for its financial transactionsthrough the following individual funds and account group:

land, buildings and equipment that has been acquired by othergovernmental funds.

C. Basis of Accounting

The accounting principles and practices prescribed for municipalities bythe State of New Jersey differ in certain respects from generally accepted

accounting principles applicable to local government units. The more

significant accounting policies and differences in the State of New Jerseyare as follows:

A modified accrual basis of accounting is followed with minor exceptions.

Revenues - are recorded when received in cash except for certainamounts which are due from other governmental units. Grants are

realized as revenue when anticipated in the City's budget. Receivablesfor property taxes are recorded with offsetting reserves on the balance

sheet of the City's Current Fund; accordingly, such amounts are notrecorded as revenue until collected. Other amount that are due the City,

which are susceptible to accrual, are also recorded as receivables with

offsetting reserves and recorded as revenue when received. GAAPrequires revenues to be recognized in the accounting period when theybecome susceptible to accrual, reduced by an allowance for doubtfulaccounts.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

Expenditures - are recorded on the "budgetary" basis of accounting.General expenditures are recorded when an amount is encumbered for

goods or services through the issuances of a purchase order inconjunction with the Encumbrance Accounting System. Outstandingencumbrances at June 30 are reported as a cash liability in the financial

statements and constitute part of the City's regulatory AppropriationReserve balance. Appropriation reserves covering unexpended

appropriation balances are automatically created at June 30th of each

year and recorded as liabilities, except for amounts which may becanceled by the governing body. Appropriation reserves are available,until lapsed at the close of the succeeding year, to meet specific claims,commitments or contracts incurred during the preceding fiscal year.

Lapsed appropriation reserves are recorded as income. Appropriationsfor principal payments on outstanding general capital and utility bonds

and notes are provided on the cash basis; interest on general capitalindebtedness is on the cash basis, whereas interest on utility

indebtedness is on the accrual basis.

Encumbrances - Contractual orders at June 30 are reported as

expenditures through the establishment of encumbrances payable.Under GAAP, encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as

reservations of fund balance because they do not constitute expendituresor liabilities.

Foreclosed Property - Foreclosed property is recorded in the CurrentFund at the assessed valuation when such property was acquired and is

fully reserved. GAAP requires such property to be recorded in theGeneral Fixed Assets Account Group at its market value.

Sale of Municipal Assets - The proceeds from the sale of municipalassets can be held in a reserve until anticipated as a revenue in a future

budget. GAAP requires such proceeds to be recorded as a revenue inthe year of sale.

Interfunds - Interfund receivables in the Current Fund are recorded with

offsetting reserves which are created by charges to operations. Income is

recognized in the year the receivables are liquidated. Interfund

receivables in the other funds are not offset by reserves. GAAP does not

require the establishment of an offsetting reserve.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. Basis of Accounting (Continued)

General Fixed Assets - N.J.A.C. 5:30-5.6, Accounting for GovernmentalFixed Assets, which differs in certain respects from generally accepted

accounting principles, requires the inclusion of a statement of generalfixed assets of the City as part of its basic financial statements. The Cityhas developed a fixed assets accounting and reporting system based on

an inspection and valuation prepared by an independent appraisal firm.However, the inventory and valuation of fixed assets have not beencurrently maintained and are not reported in the financial statements.Fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost ifactual historical cost is not available. General Fixed Assets that havebeen acquired and are utilized in a governmental fund operation areaccounted for in the General Fixed Asset Account Group rather than in agovernmental fund.

Fixed Capital - Sewer Utilities - Accounting for utility fund "fixed capital"remains unchanged under the requirements of N.J.A.C. 5:30-5.6.

Property and equipment purchased by the Sewer Utility Fund arerecorded in the Capital Account at cost and are adjusted for dispositionand abandonment. The amounts shown do not purport to representreproduction costs or current value. The fixed capital reported is as takenfrom the municipal records and does not necessarily reflect the truecondition of such fixed capital. Contributions in aid of construction are notcapitalized. The balances reported in the Reserve for Amortization andDeferred Reserve for Amortization accounts in the utility capital fundrepresent changes to operations for the cost of acquisitions of property,

equipment and improvements. The utility does not record depreciation onfixed assets.

Inventories of Supplies - The costs of inventories of supplies for all funds

are recorded as expenditures at the time individual items are purchased.The costs of inventories are not included on the various balance sheets.GAAP requires the cost of inventories to be reported as a current assetand equally offset by a fund balance reserve.

D. Basic Financial Statements

The GASB codification also defines the financial statements of a govern

mental unit to be presented in the general purpose financial statements tobe in accordance with GAAP. The City presents the financial statementslisted in the table of contents of the "Requirements of Audit andAccounting Revision of 1987" as prescribed by the Division of LocalGovernment Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of NewJersey and which differ from financial statements required by GAAP.

New Jersey statutes permit the deposit of public funds in institutions which arelocated in New Jersey and which meet the requirements of the GovernmentalUnit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA) or the State of New Jersey CashManagement Fund.

A public depository is defined as a state bank, a nationalbank, or a savings bank, which is located in the State of New Jersey, thedeposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.The statutes also require public depositories to maintain collateral for deposits ofpublic funds that exceed certain insurance limits. All collateral must be depositedwith the Federal Reserve Bank or a banking institution that is a member of the

Federal Reserve System and has capital funds of not less than $25,000,000.00.Under GUDPA, if a public depository fails, the collateral it has pledged, plus thecollateral of all other public depositories, is available to pay the full amount of thedeposits to the governmental unit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLOVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND

OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIALSTATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

The Honorable Mayor and Membersof the Common Council

City of PlainfieldCounty of Union

Plainfield, New Jersey 07061

We have audited the accompanying financial statements - regulatory basis of the City ofPlainfield, County of Union, New Jersey as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, andhave issued our report thereon dated February 13, 2012. Our report disclosed that, asdescribed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City of Plainfield prepares its financialstatements on a basis of accounting prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services,Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, that demonstrates compliance with amodified accrual basis and the budget laws of the State of New Jersey, which is acomprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In addition, our audit was qualified due to the presentation of an unaudited General FixedAssets Account Group. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted

auditing standards, audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local GovernmentServices, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey and the standards applicableto financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the ComptrollerGeneral of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Plainfield, County of

Union, New Jersey internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditingprocedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements but notfor the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Plainfield, County ofUnion internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the

effectiveness of the City of Plainfield, County of Union's internal control over financial reporting.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purposedescribed in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internalcontrol over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses andtherefore, there can be no assurance that all deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or materialweaknesses have been identified. However, as described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control overfinancial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses and other deficiencies that weconsider to be significant deficiencies.

SUPLEE, CLOONEY & COMPANY

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does notallow 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 adeficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonablepossibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,

or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider deficiencies 2011-1 through 2011-5which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs to be

material weaknesses.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal controlthat is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by thosecharged with governance. We consider deficiency 2011-6 described in the accompanyingSchedule of Findings and Questions Costs to be a significant deficiency.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Plainfield's financial

statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certainprovisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have adirect and material effect on the determination of basic 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 instances ofnoncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing

Standards, which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costsas items 2011-1,2011-2,2011-3,2011-5 and 2011-6. We also noted immaterial instances ofnoncompliance which are discussed in Part III, General Comments and RecommendationsSection of this report.

The City of Plainfield's response to the findings identified in our audit will be described in

the City's Corrective Plan on file in the City Clerk's Office. We did not audit the City's responseand, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

This report is intended solely for the information of the City of Plainfield, County ofUnion, New Jersey, the Division of Local Government Services and federal and state auditagencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than thesespecified parties.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/plainfield-city-fy-2011-audit-report 119/153

SUPLEE, CLOONEY & COMPANY

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with U.S. generally acceptedauditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government

Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, audit requirementsprescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs andthe provisions of U.S. Office of Management and Sudget (OMS) Circular A-133 "Audits ofStates, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations" and State of New Jersey OMSCircular 04-04, "Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and StateAid." Those standards and provisions require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirementsreferred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal and stateprogram occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City ofPlainfield's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as weconsidered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonablebasis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City of Plainfield's

compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the City of Plainfield complied, in all material respects, with therequirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal and stateprograms for the year ended June 30, 2011. However, the results of our audit disclosedimmaterial instances of noncompliance which are discussed in Part III, General Comments andRecommendations Section of this report.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of the City of Plainfield is responsible for establishing and maintainingeffective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and

grants applicable to federal and state programs. In planning and performing our audit, weconsidered the City of Plainfield's internal control over compliance with requirements that couldhave a direct and material effect on a major federal or state program in order to determine ourauditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test andreport on internal control over compliance in accordance with U.S. OMS Circular A-133 andState of New Jersey OMS Circular 04-04 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 of Plainfield's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of acontrol over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course ofperforming 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 ininternal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internalcontrol over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliancewith a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detectedand corrected, on a timely basis.

Numerous interfund balances existed as of June 30, 2011 which should be liquidated.

A detailed analysis of tax sale premiums at year end was not available.

Third party lien redemptions were not remitted to the outside lienholders in a timelymanner.

Tax receipts are not deposited within 48 hours of receipt.

The City has a purchasing division which is responsible for all the purchasing needs ofthe various divisions, including obtaining prices, bids, quotes, awarding contracts, etc. Wenoted that numerous purchases are made directly by various division heads and not through the

Division of Purchasing as required by the City's administrative code. As a result, funds are notencumbered against amounts appropriated before goods or services are ordered andpurchases are made without any certification of availability of funds obtained from theComptroller. In effect, the controls that minimize the possibility of over-expenditures andunauthorized purchases are not in operation. In addition, the encumbrance accounting systemrequired by the Division of Local Government Services cannot be adequately maintained.

We noted that numerous purchase orders from prior years are still open in the grant fundand the general capital fund. Purchase orders should be reviewed periodically and cancelled ifno longer valid.

Our review of expenditures disclosed that purchases of services were not always

charged to the correct budget line item.

Payroll

In our review of payroll we noted the following:

PerN.J.A.C. 5:30-17.6 the contract authorizing such service must meet certain requirementsincluding provisions that require the provider to be responsible for any errors or omissions andto maintain insurance to indemnify the City in such cases.

The code also requires that a resolution of the governing body be passed authorizing the

provider to perform the disbursement function. The resolution is also required to designate aresponsible individual to authorize and supervise the activities of the provider. No resolutionauthorizing the service or designating an individual to authorize and supervise the activities ofthe provider was available for audit.

The City is also required by the code, to monitor the internal controls of the provider.The City did not confirm the payment of federal or state payroll taxes for Fiscal Year 2011.
