1 Ernst & Young LLP Suite North Orange Avenue Orlando, FL Tel: Fax: Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Compliance With Requirements That Could Have a Direct and Material Effect on Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over Compliance in Accordance With OMB Circular A-133, Section , Florida Statutes, and Chapter , Rules of the Auditor General Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Orlando Compliance We have audited the City of Orlando s (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement, and the Executive Office of the Governor s State compliance supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal and state programs for the year ended September 30, The City s major federal and state programs are identified in the summary of auditor s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal and state programs is the responsibility of the City s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City s compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, OMB Circular A-133, Section , Florida Statutes and Chapter , Rules of the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, Section and Chapter , require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal or state program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City s compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal and state programs for the year ended September 30, Internal Control Over Compliance Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal and state programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City s internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal or state program to determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, Section , Florida Statutes, and Chapter , Rules of the Auditor General, 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 s internal control over compliance

2 A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal or state program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal or state program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, Mayor and Members of the City Council, applicable federal and state awarding agencies and pass-through entities and the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

3 Ernst & Young LLP Suite North Orange Avenue Orlando, FL Tel: Fax: Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Orlando We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, each pension fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orlando (the City) as listed in the table of contents as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the City s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 2, 2011 We have also audited the Firefighters Pension Fund, the Police Pension Fund and the General Employees Pension Fund included in the accompanying combining statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, as listed in the table of contents. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal control over financial reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow 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 a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Compliance and other matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of 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 no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards
