The Independent Auditor's Report on the primary government financial statements is qualified because the primary government financial statements do not include the financial data of the county's component unit, which should be included in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and 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 primary government financial statements are free of material misstatement. Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to Alcorn County, Mississippi, is the responsibility of the county's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the primary government financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the county's compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the primary government financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported herein under Government Auditing Standards. We noted an immaterial instance of noncompliance that we have reported to the management of Alcorn County, Mississippi, in our other compliance reports dated September 3, 1997, included within this document. This report is intended for the use of the management and the appropriate grantor agencies. This is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.

The Independent Auditor's Report on the primary government financial statements is qualified because the primary government financial statements do not include the financial data of the county's component unit, which should be included in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited Alcorn County, Mississippi's compliance with the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed; reporting; and claims for advances and reimbursements that are applicable to its major federal financial assistance program, which is identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance under Supplemental Information, as listed in the table of contents, for the year ended September 30, 1996. The management of Alcorn County, Mississippi, is responsible for the county's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance with those requirements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance with those requirements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. Those standards and OMB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the requirements referred to above occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Alcorn County, Mississippi's compliance with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The results of our audit procedures did not disclose any instances of noncompliance with the requirements referred to above. In our opinion, Alcorn County, Mississippi, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed; reporting; and claims for advances and reimbursements that are applicable to its major federal financial assistance program for the year ended September 30, 1996. This report is intended for the use of the management, the cognizant agency and the appropriate grantor agencies.

The Independent Auditor's Report on the primary government financial statements is qualified because the primary government financial statements do not include the financial data of the county's component unit, which should be included in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have applied procedures to test Alcorn County, Mississippi's compliance with the following requirements applicable to its federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance under Supplemental Information, as listed in the table of contents, for the year ended September 30, 1996: General Requirements: Political Activity Davis-Bacon Act Civil Rights Cash Management Federal Financial Reports Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Drug-free Workplace Administrative Requirements Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and Budget's Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on Alcorn County, Mississippi's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of noncompliance with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this report. With respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that Alcorn County, Mississippi, had not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. Also, the results of our procedures did not disclose any immaterial instances of noncompliance with those requirements. 46 This report is intended for the use of the management, the cognizant agency and the appropriate grantor agencies.
