Compliance in Accordance With OMS Circular A-133<br />
Members of the <strong>Parish</strong> Council<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana<br />
Compliance<br />
We have audited <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana's compliance with the types of compliance<br />
requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a<br />
direct and material effect on each of the <strong>Parish</strong>'s major federal programs for the year ended<br />
December 31, 2010. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana's major federal programs are identified<br />
in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and<br />
questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants<br />
applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>,<br />
Louisiana's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>,<br />
Louisiana's compliance based on our audit.<br />
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally<br />
accepted in the United <strong>St</strong>ates of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained<br />
in Government Auditing <strong>St</strong>andards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United <strong>St</strong>ates; and<br />
OMS Circular A-133. Those standards and OMS Circular A-133 require that we plan and<br />
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types<br />
of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a<br />
major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana's compliance with those requirements and performing such<br />
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit<br />
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana's compliance with those requirements.<br />
In our opinion, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Tammany</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>, Louisiana complied, in all material respects, with the<br />
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each<br />
of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2010.<br />
