Please see below the assignment outline. I just need to do 2 pages on the financial section of the CAFR. I attached this section to this question. I need the 2 pages and how to outline it in power point for the presentation. Contents As with the paper, you can be as creative as you wish. However, your presentation should include the gist of your paper. You can make your slides first and develop your paper from there or you can write your paper first and then make a summary for your power point slides. Either way, your paper and presentation should tell a consistent story. In addition, since you are an expert of the government you are presenting, you are expected to include an executive summary of your government. Demographic and economic information along with operating information in the statistical section will be useful. Format How you present your work in front of others is as important (sometimes even more important) as your written report. Every member of a group is required to participate in presentation equally. The presentation needs to be 20 minutes long and there will be a 10 minute Q&A session afterwards. Do not spend more than two minutes on one slide. In general, putting too many words on one slide is not a good idea. Please give me a hard copy of your power point slides the day before your scheduled presentation date by submitting it here. Remember that you are a broker who presents in front of prospective investors. Be professional. You will be graded according to the Graduate Presentation Rubric shown below. Even though this is an audio-only presentation, please do not just completely read your section of the presentation. Not only is it not good practice for your career (your presentations in the future aren't going to be audio-only), but it's obvious even in an audio-only environment and boring to listen to. Your group should decide on a time frame you want to present your work. This time frame should be between the dates listed on the Course Schedule and all of the group members should present a part. Please give me several alternative time frames for your presentation. Before you finalize the time, you should consult the time with me so that I can be present at the Blackboard Collaborate Classroom. Make sure your group has submitted your Powerpoint slides to the the DAY BEFORE your presentation so that I can upload them to the classroom and make sure they are working correctly. Grading Rubric Graduate Presentation Rubric Criteria Ratings Points Contents Includes introduction, analysis of 3 components of financial performance (Environmental, Organizational and Financial) 25 Presentation Skills Presentation is professionally done and presenters aren't simply reading their slides 15 Conclusion Conclusion includes comparison to other government included in instructions and a recommendation on which to invest in 10 Focus Presentation is focused on relevant factors and does not include lots of filler information 10 Total 60![image text in transcribed](https://s3.amazonaws.com/si.experts.images/answers/2024/06/667e377a8fb77_770667e377a80469.jpg)
FINANCIAL SECTION CliftonLarsonAllen LLP www.cliftonlarsonallen.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Honorable County Executive and Members of the County Council Baltimore County, Maryland Towson, Maryland Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Baltimore County, Maryland (the County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Baltimore County, Maryland as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 1 An independent member of Nexia International Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and the schedule of funding progress on pages 312 and 64 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedulessupplementary information, as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund statements and schedules supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 23, 2013, on our consideration of County's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. a CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Baltimore, Maryland December 23, 2013 2 BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Baltimore County, Maryland management is providing this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the primary government (the County) as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Readers are to consider the data presented here in conjunction with the information presented in the transmittal letter at the front of this report and with all the County's financial statements and accompanying notes to those financial statements, which follow this section. Financial Highlights U Government-wide: The County's assets and deferred outflows of resources were $4.799 billion and its liabilities were $3.459 billion, resulting in net position of $1.34 billion. The County's total net position decreased by $111.063 million as a result of current year operations. Fund Level: The County's governmental funds have combined fund balances of $449.921 million. The General Fund's fund balance is $462.133 million of which $294.935 million is unassigned fund balance inclusive of $85.034 million in a Revenue Stabilization account. Long-term Debt: The County's total bond, note and certificate of participation (COP) debt increased by $391.83 million during the current year. The key factors in this increase were the issuance of $509.29 million in general obligation bonds and bond anticipation notes and a $11.149 million draw on the Maryland Water Quality Revolving Loan Fund offset by debt service payments of $119.624 million and net principal reductions of $8.985 million from bond and COP refundings. Overview of the Financial Statements U This discussion and analysis is an introduction to the County's basic financial statements, which comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-wide Statements (Reporting the County as a Whole) The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are two financial statements that report information about the County's activities that should serve as a useful indicator of whether the County, as a whole, is better or worse off as a result of this year's activities. These statements include all nonfiduciary assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting. The current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. The Statement of Net Position on page 14 presents all of the County's non-fiduciary assets, liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases and decreases in net position measure whether the County's financial position is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities on page 15 presents information showing how the County's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events giving rise to the change occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). 3 The focus of the statements is clearly on the primary government and the presentation allows the user to address the relative relationship with the component units. Both statements report three activities, which include the governmental activities and business-type activities of the primary government and separate reporting for the County's component units. Governmental Activities - Most of the County's basic services are reported under this category. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues generally fund these services. The general government, public safety, public works, health and human services, culture and leisure services, economic and community development, and education functions fall within the governmental activities. Business-type Activities - The County charges fees to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The Metropolitan District water and sewer services are the only business-type activity reported. Discretely Presented Component Units - Component units are legally separate organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government is such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The County reports three component units that are described in the notes to the basic financial statements. This report includes two summary reconciliations (pages 16 and 18) between the governmental fund financial statements (modified accrual accounting) and the governmental activities (full accrual accounting) reflected on the government-wide financial statements. Note 2 of the notes to the basic financial statements also provides more detail as to the transactions that impact the conversion from the modified accrual basis of accounting to the full accrual basis of accounting. Fund Financial Statements (Reporting the County's Major Funds) Traditional users of governmental financial statements will find the fund financial statements presentation more familiar. The focus is on major funds. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that the County uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for a particular purpose. The County's funds are divided into three categories - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary - and use different accounting approaches. Governmental funds - Most of the County's basic services are reported in the governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at yearend that are available for future spending. The governmental fund financial statements provide a detailed short-term view of the County's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the County's programs. These funds are reported using modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The County reports the General Fund, Gifts and Grants Fund, and the Consolidated Public Improvement Construction Fund as major funds. Proprietary funds - When the County charges customers for the services it provides, whether to outside customers or to other agencies within the County, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service) utilize accrual accounting; the same method used by private sector businesses. Enterprise funds report activities that provide supplies and services to the general public. The County reports the Metropolitan District Fund as a major fund. Internal service funds report activities that provide supplies and services to the County's other programs and activities. Internal service funds are primarily reported as governmental activities on the government-wide statements. Fiduciary funds - The County is the trustee for its employee pension plans and the post employment healthcare benefits plan. These funds are reported using accrual accounting. The government-wide statements exclude fiduciary fund activities and balances because these assets are restricted in purpose and do not represent discretionary assets of the County to finance its operations. 4 Notes to Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found starting on page 27. Other Information Required supplementary information includes schedules concerning the County's progress in funding its obligations to provide post employment healthcare benefits to its employees. These schedules can be found on page 64. Other supplementary information includes combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules for the General Fund, Liquor License Fund, internal service funds and fiduciary funds. These statements and schedules can be found starting on page 66. Financial Analysis of the County as a Whole U The County's combined net position decreased $111.063 million in FY 2013. The net position of the governmental activities decreased $76.253 million and business-type activities decreased $34.81 million. The schedule below presents the net position of the County's governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2013. The largest component of the County's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire the assets. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens. Consequently, these assets are not liquid or available for future spending or liquidation of any liabilities. It is important to note that counties in the State of Maryland issue debt for the construction of schools, yet the school buildings are owned by each county's Board of Education. Ownership reverts to the County if the local board determines a building is no longer needed. The County also funds projects for the Community College of Baltimore County. Therefore, while the County's financial statements include this outstanding debt, they do not include the capital assets funded by the debt. The governmental activities negative unrestricted net position of $352.908 million reflects the result of recording the liabilities without the corresponding assets. The County has a similar situation where it issues debt to finance capital contributions for Baltimore City owned assets. This is what causes the negative unrestricted net position of $200.295 million in the business-type activities. These situations are described in more detail in Note 8.

Key elements affecting the change in net position included: Unrestricted net position was impacted because of the following factors: General tax revenue increased $33.143 over the prior fiscal year. Income tax revenue increased $7.805 million after a $52.659 million negative adjustment for the County's portion of income tax reserves held by the state that was recognized under full accrual accounting. A $44.637 million reduction to the County's 4% Homestead tax credit that mitigated lost property tax revenue from declining property assessments was a significant factor in property tax revenue increasing $3.37 million. Increased recordation and transfer taxes from a spike in home sales during FY13 accounted for the majority of the $21.968 million increase to public services taxes. The County had a $255 million excess contribution to its pension trust that is offset by the sale of $256 million in pension obligation bonds, which were issued to fund increased liability resulting from lowering the actuarial valuation interest rate from 7.875% to 7.250%. See Note 8. The outstanding debt for the Board of Education and the Community College capital projects (see previous discussion) increased by $78.924 million. Capital asset infrastructure donations from developers decreased 32.2% to $8.693 million. Business-type Activities Business-type activities decreased the County's net position by $34.81 million. The key elements of the Metropolitan District operations that affect net position are as follows: The consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continues to drive expenditures. In FY13, the County's cost sharing contribution of $58.992 million to Baltimore City for capital facilities remained at a high level. The upgrade of the Patapsco Treatment Plant by the City is a major project contributing to this high level of cost sharing. Final settlement of FY12 water and sewer operating costs between the County and Baltimore City resulted in a $4.189 million refund from the City in FY13. Front foot assessments that are billed over 40 years to County homeowners to recover costs for County construction of water and sewer lines showed a continuing decline of $5.955 million due to developers assuming the responsibility for construction of these lines. Financial Analysis of the County's Funds U The County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. Governmental Funds The governmental funds provide data on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. This data is useful in assessing the County's financing requirements. The unassigned fund balance serves as a useful measure of the County's financial resources available for appropriation at the end of the fiscal year. The County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $449.921 million as of June 30, 2013, an increase of $133.559 million. Unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, as stated below, is available at the County's discretion. The remaining fund balance of $203.333 million is not available for new spending because of varying constraints set on them. The General Fund is the County's chief operating fund. At the end of FY13, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $294.935 million, while total fund balance was $462.133 million. Unassigned fund balance represents 17.99% of total budgetary expenditures, while total fund balance represents 28.19% of total budgetary expenditures. These ratios are typically useful as a measure of the General Fund's liquidity. The County has $85.034 million in a Revenue Stabilization account and has assigned $39.532 million to finance, in part, the FY14 operating budget. 9 The General Fund fund balance increased by $59.901 million during the current fiscal year. Tax revenues were $60.349 million more than in FY12, with income, recordation and title transfer taxes accounting for $50.484 million of the increase. The County also realized $54.994 million in premium proceeds from debt financing to be used for future debt service interest payments and capital improvements. General Fund expenditures, including transfers, increased $335.335 million from the prior fiscal year due primarily to a $255 million excess contribution to the Employees' Retirement System from the issuance of $256 million of pension obligation bonds in December 2012. The County also had a $29 million increase to its OPEB contributions for General Government employees. The Gifts and Grants Fund fund balance of $35.952 million consists primarily of $20.871 million of earned revenue in excess of grant expenditures for the various grant activities administered by the County and is restricted for those activities. The primary reason for the $9.448 million increase in total fund balance is a $14 million contribution from the Consolidated Public Improvement Construction Fund to fund future Economic Development construction loans. The Consolidated Public Improvement Construction Fund fund balance increased $64.383 million. Major fluctuations in fund balance are primarily the result of the timing of cash inflows from bond sale proceeds and capital expenditure outflows. The County issued $205.946 million in new debt to fund capital projects. Capital expenditures for various County projects decreased $4.217 million to $97.928 million while payments to component units for their capital facilities decreased $54.1 million to $66.519 million. Proprietary Funds The County's proprietary funds provide more detailed data of the information reported in the governmentwide financial statements. The Metropolitan District Fund net assets decreased $34.583 million. The main factors concerning this decrease have already been addressed in the discussion of the County's business-type activities. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The County had a supplemental appropriation of $9 million to its Insurance Contribution program to supplement an initial $20 million payment into the OPEB Trust Fund for General Government employees. Significant differences between the final budget and actual amounts are summarized as follows: FY13 General Government staffing levels decreased 7.1% over FY12 due to the Retirement Incentive Program offered to eligible employees during the winter of 2012. The County had $8.753 million in salary savings across the board from the implementation of position vacancy control and from additional positions targeted for elimination. Income tax revenue was $62.689 million more than budget because the County estimated a 3.1% decrease in collections in FY13 to reflect an anticipated adjustment to be made due to a 5% over distribution from the State in FY12. Favorable variances in Payments to Component Units - Board of Education of $2.026 million and Debt Service Interest of $2.073 million resulted when the County elected to use a portion of the premium from a November 2011 bond sale to make debt interest payments instead of using funds originally appropriated in those budget items.

The County maintains an \"AAA\" rating from both Standard & Poor's and Fitch Investor's Service, and a \"Aaa\" rating from Moody's Investor's Service for general obligation bonds. The County Charter limits the amount of general obligation debt that the County may issue for Consolidated Public Improvements to 4% of the County's assessable property base. Metropolitan District debt may be issued up to debt limit of 3.2% of the District's assessable property base. The County's debt is significantly below the respective limits of $3.236 billion and $2.29 billion. Additional information on the County's long-term debt can be found in Note 8. Economic Factors and Next Years Budgets and Rates Over the January 2012 to January 2013 period, County residential employment increased by 11,894 people, or 2.9%, while Maryland employment increased by 1.2%. The unemployment rate among County residents was 7.6% in January 2013, up from 7.4% a year earlier, and higher than the current state rate of 7.2%. Existing home sales in the County totaled 6,916 units in CY12, 13.6% above CY11 sales. The County's Spending Affordability Committee set a budget base for FY14 not to exceed 3.07%. This increase maintains the policy of utilizing a five year average of annual personal income growth rates. Lost real property tax revenue from lower property reassessments is mitigated by the County's 4% Homestead Assessment Growth Cap on residential property. The tax credit for homeowners will decrease from $64.413 million in FY13 to $35.427 million in FY14. These and other economic indicators were considered when preparing the FY14 General Fund budget, which estimates revenues at $1.685 billion. General Fund appropriations for FY14 of $1.724 billion reflect a 4.05 % increase over the FY13 adjusted budget. In formulating the FY14 budget, county agencies were given guidelines with a 1.6% reduction in spending, excluding built-in cost items such as debt service, utilities, and contractually obligated employee salary and benefit costs. Two significant items that impact the FY14 budget are increased contribution levels to $26.56 million and to $32.5 million for respective Pay-As-You-Go capital budget and for General Government OPEB payment. The difference between estimated revenue and appropriations of $39 million is covered by fund balance reserves. The projected unassigned fund balance at the end of FY14 is $263.368 million or 15.6 % of the estimated FY14 total revenues. New to FY14 is a Stormwater Remediation fee charged to residential and commercial properties, which will be used to comply with federal mandates to reduce the amount of sediment, phosphorous and nitrogen carried in stormwater to the Chesapeake Bay. The income tax rate of 2.83% is unchanged. The respective real property and personnel property tax rates remain at $1.10 and $2.75 per $100 of assessed value. The Homestead Assessment Growth Cap remains at 4%, excluding home sales, new construction, and non-principal residences.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The accounting and reporting policies of the County conform in all material respects to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental entities in the United States (GAAP). The following is a summary of significant policies. Financial Reporting Entity Baltimore County, Maryland (the "County") is a corporate polity, performing all local governmental functions within its jurisdiction. Under home rule charter since 1957, the County is governed by an elected County Executive and a sevenmember County Council, with each serving executive and legislative functions, respectively. In accordance with GAAP, the accompanying financial statements include the various departments and agencies governed by the County Executive and County Council (the primary government) and the County's component units. Discretely presented component units are reported separately from the primary government to emphasize that they are legally separate from the County. The component units are included as part of the County's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the County. The component units are fiscally dependent on the County because the County approves budget requests providing a significant amount of funding for each of these units, levies taxes to provide the majority of their fiscal support, and issues debt for construction of their capital facilities. Discretely Presented Component Units The discretely presented component units are all governed by individual boards. The Board of Education of Baltimore County and the Board of Trustees of the Community College of Baltimore County are appointed by the Governor of Maryland. The Board of Library Trustees is appointed by the County Executive. A brief description of the component units follows. 1. The Board of Education of Baltimore County operates all public schools (grades K through 12) within the County. 2. The Board of Library Trustees operates all public libraries wi
