INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of Los Angeles, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Los Angeles, California (County), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, the accompanying financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of
the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component
units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County as of
June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows
thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, Fire Protection District, Flood
Control District, LA County Library, Regional Park and Open Space District, and Mental Health
Services Act for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
We did not audit the financial statements of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA),
a discretely presented component unit; the Los Angeles County Children and Families First –
Proposition 10 Commission (First 5 LA), a discretely presented component unit; and the Los Angeles
County Employees Retirement Association (LACERA), a pension and other postemployment benefit
trust fund, which represent the following percentages of the assets, net position/fund balances, and
revenues/additions of the following opinion units.
Net Position/ Revenues/
Opinion Unit Assets
Fund Balances Additions
Aggregate discretely presented component units 100% 100% 100%
Aggregate remaining fund information 68% 69% 12%
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinions, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for LACDA, First 5 LA, and LACERA, are
based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the County and to
meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our
audit.
Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP
700 South Flower Street, Suite 800 www.mgocpa.com
Los Angeles, CA 90017 1
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2024, the County adopted the
provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences.
Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The County’s 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,
and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as
a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 County’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
2
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, the schedule of the County’s proportionate share of the net pension liability and
related ratios, the schedule of County’s pension contributions, the schedule of changes in net RHC OPEB
liability and related ratios, the schedule of County’s RHC OPEB contributions, and the schedule of
changes in the total LTD OPEB liability and related ratios as listed on the table of contents be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and,
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 GAAS, 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.
Supplementary 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 accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal
awards, the community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and
the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California
Department of Aging are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards, the California Department of Community Services and Development,
and the California Department of Aging, respectively, and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such 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.
The 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 GAAS.
In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the community services block grant
supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the supplementary schedule of expenditures
of federal and State awards granted by the California Department of Aging are fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 15, 2025, on our consideration of the 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 solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the effectiveness of 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.
Los Angeles, California
December 15, 2025, except for the report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the
community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the
supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California
Department of Aging, as to which the date is March 27, 2026.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
We offer the residents and other readers of the County of Los Angeles Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report this management discussion and analysis (MD&A), which is not covered by the Independent
Auditor's Report, but is presented as required supplementary information. The MD&A provides a
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the County for the year ended June 30, 2025,
focusing on why amounts changed from the prior year. We encourage readers to consider this
information presented in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of
transmittal.
Financial Highlights
At the end of the current year, the net position (total assets and deferred outflows of resources, reduced
by total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources) of the County was negative $10.182 billion. Net
position is classified into three categories and the unrestricted component was negative $35.505 billion.
During the current year, the County implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 101, "Compensated Absences" and established guidance to measure our liabilities for
compensated absences. GASB 101 had an effect on the County's beginning net position, which was
restated and decreased governmental and business-type activities net position by $190 million and $38
million, respectively. In addition, we restated the County's net position due to a change to or within the
Financial Reporting Entity and an Error Correction which increased the governmental activities and
decreased the business-type activities by $36 million. Amounts reported in MD&A for 2024 have not
been restated for the effects of these changes. See further discussion in Note 2 to the basic financial
statements.
During the current year, the County’s net position increased by $494 million. Net position related to
governmental activities increased by $527 million, while net position related to business-type activities
decreased by $33 million.
At the end of the current year, the County’s General Fund reported a total fund balance of $8.106 billion.
The fund balance categories and amounts consisted of nonspendable fund balance of $280 million,
restricted fund balance of $93 million, committed fund balance of $1.404 billion, assigned fund balance of
$1.238 billion, and $5.091 billion of unassigned fund balance.
The County’s capital asset balances were $24.732 billion at year-end which increased by $1.126 billion
during the year. Capital assets for governmental activities and business-type activities increased by
$1.074 billion and $52 million, respectively.
During the current year, the County’s long-term debt related to bonds, notes and loans from direct
borrowings and direct placements increased by $775 million. Newly issued and accreted long-term debt
of $1.507 billion was less than the long-term debt maturities of $732 million. Lease and subscription
liabilities increased by $155 million and $19 million, respectively, from the prior year.
Overview of the Basic Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the County’s basic financial
statements, which are comprised of the following three components:
• Government-wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the basic financial statements
This report also includes other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
County’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all County assets and deferred outflows of
resources reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, which represent net position. Over
time, increases and decreases in net position may serve as an indicator of whether the financial position
of the County is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information that indicates how the County’s net position changed
during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events giving
rise to the changes occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, revenues and
expenses are reported in these statements for some items that affect cash flows in future periods. For
example, property tax revenues have been recorded that have been earned but not yet collected and
pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) expenses have been accrued but not yet paid.
The government-wide financial statements report the following different types of programs or activities:
• Governmental Activities - The majority of County services are reported under this category. Taxes
and intergovernmental revenues are the major revenue sources that fund these activities, which
include general government, public protection, public ways and facilities, health and sanitation,
public assistance, education, recreation and cultural services, and interest on long-term debt.
• Business-type Activities - County services that are intended to recover costs through user charges
and fees are reported under this category. The County Hospitals, Waterworks Districts, and
Aviation Funds represent the County’s business activities.
• Discretely Presented Component Units - Component units are separate entities for which the
County is financially accountable. The Los Angeles County Development Authority and First 5 LA
are displayed as discretely presented in the financial statements.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund financial statements contain information regarding major individual funds. A fund is a fiscal and
accounting entity with a balanced set of accounts. The County uses separate funds to ensure
compliance with fiscal and legal requirements.
The County’s funds are classified into the following three categories:
• Governmental Funds - These funds are used to account for essentially the same services that
were previously described as governmental activities above. However, the fund financial
statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be
useful in evaluating the County’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of
governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful
to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers
may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions.
Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities. Governmental funds include the
General Fund, as well as Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds,
and Permanent Funds.
• Proprietary Funds - These Enterprise Funds are used to account for functions that are classified
as “business-type activities” in the government-wide financial statements. The County’s Internal
Service Funds are also reported within the proprietary fund section. The County’s four Hospital
Funds and Waterworks Fund are all considered major funds for presentation purposes. There is
one nonmajor Enterprise Fund (Aviation Fund) and it is displayed with the other major enterprise
funds.
• Fiduciary Funds - These funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the County. The Fiduciary Funds category are reported in the Pension and Other
Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) Trust Funds, the Investment Trust Fund, and Custodial Funds
using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Since the
resources of these funds are not available to support the County's own programs, they are not
reflected in the government-wide financial statements.
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and the fund financial statements.
REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents certain
required supplementary information concerning the County’s proportionate share of the net pension
liability and related ratios, the County’s contributions to pension benefits, the County's schedule of
changes in net Retiree Healthcare (RHC) OPEB liability and related ratios, the County's contributions to
RHC OPEB, and the schedule of changes in the total Long-Term Disability OPEB liability and related
ratios.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. In the case of the County, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources exceeded assets and
deferred outflows of resources by $10.182 billion at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Significant changes in assets, deferred outflows of re sources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources
included the following:
Current and Other Assets
Current and other assets increased by $1.274 billion for governmental activities. There was an increase
of $661 million in pooled cash and investments, largely due to the improved cash position of the County's
General Fund, Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) fund and the nonmajor governmental funds of $219
million, $232 million and $194 million, respectively, $306 million in internal receivables from the prior year,
$191 million in Other Investments primarily from nonmajor governmental capital project and debt service
funds, $94 million in other receivables primarily from mental health, social services, and General Fund
health programs, and $84 million in taxes receivable accrued at year-end. This was offset by a decrease
of $32 million and $21 million in lease and interest receivables, respectively, from the prior year.
For business-type activities, current and other assets increased by $231 million. The business-type
activities pooled cash and investments, restricted assets and other receivables increased by $168 million,
$184 million and $523 million, respectively, from the prior year. This was offset by a decrease of $336
million and $306 million in accounts receivables and internal balances, respectively, from the prior year.
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In the current year, the County's deferred outflows of resources balances were $11.710 billion. The
deferred outflows of resources were $10.190 billion and $1.520 billion for governmental and business-
type activities, respectively. The total deferred outflows of resources amounts and net decreases of $766
million were mostly related to pension and OPEB RHC. The total pension related deferred outflows
decreased by $241 million and $24 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively,
from the prior year. The total OPEB RHC related deferred outflows decreased by $384 million and $114
million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively, from the prior year. The pension and
OPEB RHC amounts vary from year to year due to differences between projected and actual experience,
assumption changes and changes in proportion.
Liabilities
Current and other liabilities increased by $100 million for governmental activities primarily from an
increase in advances payable of $412 million, accounts payable of $17 million, accrued payroll of $22
million, and other payables of $32 million at year-end. This was offset by a decrease in unearned
revenue of $384 million for amounts at year-end. For business-type activities, a net increase of $239
million in current and other liabilities was largely associated with an increase in other payables of $471
million and offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $239 million for amounts owed at year-end.
Long-term liabilities decreased by $245 million and increased by $96 million for governmental and
business-type activities, respectively. Net pension liabilities decreased in the current year by $960 million
and $131 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively. Net OPEB liabilities
decreased by $1.057 billion and $295 million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively.
Net Pension and OPEB liabilities changes were due to the projected and actual experience, assumption
changes and changes in proportion, as well as an increase in plan fiduciary net position due to improved
investment performance.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Liabilities-Continued
Governmental activities litigation and self-insurance liabilities increased by approximately $956 million
primarily from the Child Victims Act (AB 218) cases. AB 218, which became effective January 1, 2020,
among other things, extended the statute of limitations for commencing an action for recovery of
damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault to 22 years from the date the plaintiff attains the
age of majority or within five years of the date the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have
discovered that the psychological injury or illness occurring after the age of majority was caused by
sexual assault, whichever is later. In addition, AB 218 provided for the revival of certain claims from the
procedures set forth in the Government Claims Act for a three-year window. AB 218 liabilities are based
on actual settlements approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 28, 2025 in the amount of $4 billion
which also includes an estimate for potential new cases based on the limited information currently
available.
For governmental activities, liabilities for compensated absences and workers' compensation were higher
by $104 million and $222 million, respectively. Liabilities for compensated absences increased due to the
implementation of GASB 101 which provided guidance on how to measure our liabilities for compensated
absence. Workers' compensation liabilities increased due to higher claims submitted and trends in
medical costs. Bonds, notes and loans from direct placements were higher by $301 million. Lease
liabilities were higher by $156 million. Amounts owed to third party payors by the County's were higher
by $96 million.
For business-type activities, liabilities for compensated absences and workers’ compensation were higher
by $12 million and $11 million, respectively. For business-type activities, bonds, notes and loans from
direct placements were higher by $473 million. Amounts owed to third party payors by the County's
hospitals were higher by $23 million as discussed in Note 14.
Specific disclosures related to pension liabilities, OPEB liabilities, lease liabilities, subscription liabilities,
and other changes in long-term liabilities are discussed and referenced in Notes 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to the
basic financial statements, respectively.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
In the current year, the County's deferred inflows of resources were $12.397 billion. Deferred inflows of
resources increased by $1.004 billion and $108 million for governmental and business-type activities,
respectively. The total OPEB RHC and LTD related deferred inflows increased by $300 million and $26
million for governmental and business-type activities, respectively, from the prior year. Pension related
deferred inflows of resources increased by $707 million and $93 million for governmental and business-
type activities, respectively. The OPEB RHC and pension changes in deferred inflows of resources will
vary from year to year due to differences between projected and actual experience, assumption changes
and changes in proportion. Pension and OPEB matters are discussed in more detail in Notes 7 and 8,
respectively, to the basic financial statements.
Deferred inflows of resources for leases decreased by $32 million in governmental activities. For Public-
Private and Public-Public Partnerships (PPPs), there were $80 million of related deferred inflows of
resources recognized in the current year, which represents a decrease of $2 million from the prior year in
governmental activities. This amount represents the present value of installment payments associated
with private operators of twenty County golf courses, as discussed in Note 6.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
The County’s total net position consists of the followin g three components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets
The largest portion of the County’s net position, $19.326 billion, represents its investment in capital
assets (i.e., land and easements, buildings and improvements, infrastructure, software, equipment, lease
and subscription assets, net of related depreciation and amortization), less any related debt and related
deferred outflows of resources used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The County uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. Although the County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should
be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the
capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted Net Position
The County’s restricted net position at year-end was $5.997 billion. Asset restrictions are primarily due to
external restrictions imposed by State legislation and bond covenants. Net position that pertains to the
various separate legal entities included in the basic financial statements is also generally restricted
because the entities’ funding sources require that funds be used for specific purposes.
Unrestricted Net Position (Deficit)
The County’s total unrestricted net position is negative $35.505 billion. Both governmental and business-
type activities reported deficits in this category of $32.227 billion and $3.278 billion, respectively. OPEB
related liabilities of $23.774 billion, along with pension liabilities totaling $12.983 billion, continued to be
the most significant factors associated with the reported deficits.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Governmental Activities
Revenues from governmental activities increased by $1.553 billion (4.7%) when compared with the prior
year. The most significant changes in specific revenue sources were experienced in the following areas:
• Program revenues recognized from operating grants and contributions increased by $973 million.
General government revenues grew by $29 million primarily from $32 million of State revenues to
fund capital projects for the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program. Revenues for
public protection programs increased by $60 million primarily from $64 million of State 2011
Realignment AB109 revenues for justice-involved and reform programs. Public ways and facilities
revenue were higher by $40 million primarily from $26 million of State and federal revenues for the
road and transportation programs and $14 million for the January 2025 Windstorm and Fires
under State Assembly Bill (AB100) Budget Acts of 2023 and 2024 reimbursements. Health and
sanitation revenues grew by $661 million primarily from higher reimbursable costs associated with
mental health, public health, and ambulatory care network programs of $496 million, $93 million,
and $51 million, respectively. In addition, there were higher MHSA revenues of $40 million.
Revenues for public assistance programs grew by $182 million as there were higher
administrative and program reimbursable costs of $167 million related to COVID-19 programs and
$35 million for public social services, children and family services, and homeless and housing
programs.
• Taxes, the County's largest general revenue source, were $486 million higher than the prior year
and were mostly attributable to property taxes and sales and other taxes, which grew by $445
million and $41 million, respectively. The County's total taxable assessed property tax value is
$2.123 trillion, which grew by 4.86% in the current year and property tax revenue increased by
$436 million from the prior year. Property tax revenues were also recognized in conjunction with
the dissolution of redevelopment agencies “pass through”. Payments from redevelopment
dissolution were $563 million and increased by $31 million from the prior year. Redevelopment
dissolution also provides residual property taxes to local governments, including the County. The
County's share of such residual tax revenues in the current year was $487 million, an increase of
$17 million compared to the prior year. In addition, sales and use taxes primarily increased due to
the passage of the Homeless Initiative Measure A, which replaced the Homeless and Housing
Measure H sales tax with a net increase of $39 million.
• Program revenues recognized from charges for services decreased by $139 million which was
primary attributable to a decrease in health and sanitation by $253 million. This was offset by an
increase of general government and public protection functional categories by $39 million and $66
million, respectively. Health and sanitation increase was due to an increase in health services
administration and ambulatory network programs of $176 million and $107 million, respectively,
and was offset by a decrease of Public Health programs services by $24 million. The general
governmental increase was in public works services of $44 million. The public protection increase
was due to an increase in the Fire Department of $78 million and offset by a decrease of Justice,
Care Opportunities department (JCOD) programs by $8 million.
• Investment income increased by $150 million due to an increase in interest income of $4 million
and a change in the fair value in investments at year-end of $146 million, which was primarily from
changes in market yields throughout the fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Governmental Activities-Continued
Expenses related to governmental activities increased by $2.573 billion (8.3%) during the current year.
This was attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefit (S&EB) expenses of $479 million
and an increase in operating expenses of $2.094 billion. The S&EB increase was largely attributable for
general salary increases by $1.028 billion and $109 million increases in workers' compensation
absences, compensated absences, and other employee benefits. This was offset by a decrease in
pension and OPEB expenses by $357 million and $301 million, respectively, in all functional categories.
The increase in the operating expenses of $2.094 billion was primarily from public protection and health
and sanitation by $936 million and $1.191 billion, respectively. This was offset by a decrease in general
government operating expenses of $235 million. Public protection operating expenses increased by
$936 million primarily for Public Works, Fire, Probation, Consumer and Business Affairs, and Sheriff
departments higher operating expenses by $60 million, $30 million, $28 million, $27 million and $16
million, respectively. In addition, litigation and self-insurance expenses were higher by $661 million
primarily from the AB 218 expenses. Health and sanitation operating expenses were higher by $1.099
billion primarily for mental health, ambulatory care network, health community, and public health
programs of $636 million, $201 million, $168 million and $87 million, respectively. General government
operating expenses were lower by $235 million primarily from the Economic Development and Project
and facility development programs $74 million and $19 million, respectively.
Interest on long-term debt was $198 million, an increase of $20 million from the prior year. Depreciation/
amortization expense was $753 million in the current year, an increase of $79 million from the prior year
amount of $674 million in all functional categories.
Business-type Activities
Revenues from business-type activities for the current year were $5.820 billion, an increase of $202
million (3.6%) from the previous year. The most significant increase was in charges for services of the
County's hospitals by $202 million primarily associated with a decrease in the Global Payment Program
(GPP) and an increase in Managed Care Rate Supplement (MCRS) revenues by $377 million and $597
million, respectively. As discussed in Note 14 to the basic financial statements, County hospital revenues
are derived from a wide range of federal and State funding sources. Business-type activities for
investment income increased by $8 million due to an decrease in interest income of $5 million and a
change in the fair value in investments at year-end $13 million, due to changes in average monthly cash
balances and market yields throughout the fiscal year.
Expenses related to business-type activities increased from the previous year by a net total of $100
million (1.6%), and were associated primarily with the County’s hospitals, where expenses increased by
$92 million. The hospital expenses for S&EB consisted of an increase from general salary increases of
$233 million. The S&EB increase was offset by a decrease in pension and OPEB expenses of $55
million and $66 million, respectively. In addition, there was a decrease of $153 million for services and
supplies and professional services expenses related to a decrease in operating expenses and an
increase in the County's hospital intergovernmental transfer expense of $136 million primarily from an
increase of $340 million for the MCRS, Quality Incentive Program (QIP), and Medi-cal Graduate Medical
Education (GME) and offset by a decrease of $206 million for the GPP.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Financial Analysis of the County’s Funds
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the County’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of resources that are available for spending. Such information is useful in assessing the
County’s financing requirements. Types of governmental funds reported by the County include the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and the Permanent
Funds.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the County’s governmental funds reported combined total fund
balances of $14.980 billion, an increase of $962 million in comparison with the prior year. Of the total
fund balances, $297 million is nonspendable to indicate the extent that funds are not in spendable form or
are required to remain intact. An additional $6.468 billion is classified as restricted, $1.588 billion
as committed, and $1.536 billion as assigned. The remaining balance of $5.091 billion is classified as
unassigned and is entirely associated with the General Fund.
Revenues from all governmental funds for the current year were $34.426 billion, an increase of $1.513
billion (4.6%) from the previous year. Expenditures for all governmental funds in the current year were
$33.832 billion, an increase of $3.471 billion (11.4%) from the previous year. In addition, net other
financing sources (uses) were $368 million, an increase of $1.060 billion as compared to a negative $692
million in the prior year.
The General Fund is the County’s principal operating fund. During the current year, the fund balance in
the General Fund increased by $414 million (5.4%). At the end of the current fiscal year, the General
Fund’s total fund balance was $8.106 billion. Of this amount, $280 million is classified as nonspendable,
$93 million as restricted, $1.404 billion as committed, $1.238 billion as assigned and the remaining
$5.091 billion is classified as unassigned.
General Fund revenues during the current year were $28.353 billion, an increase of $1.090 billion (4.0%)
from the previous year. General Fund expenditures during the current year were $29.343 billion, an
increase of $2.947 billion (11.2%) from the previous year. Net other financing sources/uses was positive
$1.403 billion in the current year as compared to positive $342 million in the prior year.
Following are significant changes in General Fund revenues and expenditures:
• Intergovernmental revenues increased by $803 million overall, and were primarily associated
with an increase in State revenue by $906 million and a decrease in federal revenue by $103
million. The State of California provided funding to the County of Los Angeles to help with
recovery from the damages caused by the January 2025 Windstorm and Fires and increased
$35 million of State revenue under State Assembly Bill (AB100) Budget Acts of 2023 and 2024.
State and federal revenue growth was attributable to higher levels of reimbursable program and
administrative costs in the mental health, social services, public health, health services, and
sheriff departments of $496 million, $168 million, $93 million, $75 million, and $64 million,
respectively. This was offset by lower levels of reimbursable programs and administrative costs
in the probation department by $22 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)-Continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Governmental Funds-Continued
• Charges for services decreased by $236 million. The significant decreases in charges for
services were from the Health Services Administration, Ambulatory Care Network, and Mental
Health programs charges for services of $175 million, $107 million, and $41 million, respectively,
due to lower GPP and mental health medi-cal services from the prior year. In addition, the
Internal Services department were lower by $16 million due a decline in services provided to the
Courts and capital improvement projects. This was offset by an increase in charges for services
primarily associated in the health services community programs, registrar-recorder, and public
health of $92 million, $34 million and $19 million, respectively, which was associated with the GPP
and Cost Based Reimbursement Clinics (CBRC), special election services, and 2011 Realignment
for the Drug Medi-Cal program.
• Revenues from taxes increased by $340 million and were primarily associated with an increase in
property taxes of $334 million and other taxes of $2 million. The property taxes increase was
primarily associated with $317 million of revenue from a growth in assessed property values.
Residual property tax revenues, which are associated with redevelopment dissolution, were $404
million in the current year, $12 million higher than the prior year. Property tax was also reflected in
“pass through” property tax revenues, which were $24 million higher in the current year.
Documentary transfer taxes increased other taxes by $7 million fueled by lower interest rates in
the real estate market and the County median home sales were higher in this fiscal year. Sales,
use and utility tax decreased other taxes by $5 million from a decrease in consumer spending and
higher prices.
• Investment income resulted in an increase of $97 million due to an increase of $8 million in
interest earnings and an increase of $89 million in the fair value change in investments at year-
end, which was primarily from changes in market yields throughout the fiscal year.
• General Fund expenditures increased by a total of $2.947 billion, or 11.2%. Current expenditures
increased by $2.791 billion, and debt service and capital outlay expenditures increased by $156
million.
• General government spending increased by $436 million and was primarily associated with
increased expenditures of $273 million for capital improvements, $55 million for the Care
First and Community Investment (CFCI) program, $39 million for judgment and damages
for legal settlements, $20 million for utilities costs, $18 million for Board of Supervisors
programs, $17 million for Registrar-Recorder election services, $17 million for the Internal
Services Department services, and $11 million for costs associated with the Auditor-
Controller enterprise applications. This was offset by a decrease in expenditures of $43
million for the economic opportunity department and $19 million for project and facility
development costs. There was a net increase of $65 million for general salary increases in
S&EB.
• Public protection program costs were higher by $317 million, and were primarily associated
with an increase in S&EB expenditures of $187 million for general salary increases. In
addition, there an increase in expenditures of sheriff, probation, and consumer and
business affairs of $43 million, $30 million, and $27 million, respectively due to higher
operational costs.

Governmental Funds-Continued
• Health and sanitation expenditures increased by $1.503 billion. This was primarily due to
an increase of $640 million in mental health program, $368 million in the General Fund
ambulatory care network and community health programs, and $87 million in public health
programs due to higher program and contract costs. There was also an increase of $445
million for general salary increase for S&EB costs. This was offset by a decrease of $44
million in expenditures for the health services administration program.
• Public assistance expenditures increased by $486 million. This was primarily due to an
increase of expenditures of $144 million in affordable housing, $56 million for public social
services, $52 million for children and family services, $41 million for homeless and housing
programs and $10 million for aging and disabilities program due to higher program and
contract costs. There was also an increase of $175 million for general salary increase for
S&EB costs.
The Fire Protection District reported a year-end fund balance of $262 million, which represented an
increase of $3 million compared to the previous year increase of $43 million, resulting in a net difference
of $40 million. The Fire Protection District responds to a number of major incidents and emergencies and
provides essential fire protection and emergency medical services during the fiscal year. Revenues
increased by $145 million, of which $79 million in charges for services in response to the January 2025
wildfires, $44 million was related to property taxes and primarily associated with growth in assessed
property values, $18 million in federal and State revenues, and $2 million in investment income.
Expenditures were higher by $161 million, of which S&EB was higher due to general salary increases,
services and supplies costs, and capital outlay costs by $100 million, $49 million, and $12 million,
respectively.
The Flood Control District reported a year-end fund balance of $202 million, which represented a
decrease of $68 million in fund balance compared to the previous year's decrease of $94 million,
resulting in a net difference of $26 million. The change in fund balance was primarily due to higher
services and supplies and capital assets infrastructure expenditures of $63 million to support flood
protection and water conservation infrastructure projects. Revenues increased by $25 million primarily
from $23 million in intergovernmental revenue associated from January 2025 Wildfires AB100
reimbursements and an increase of $9 million from higher property taxes due to growth in assessed
valuation and offset of lower investment income of $5 million. There was also a net increase of other
financing sources (uses) of $65 million from the Safe, Clean, Water Program Measure W programs.
The LA County Library Fund reported a year-end fund balance of $187 million, which represented an
increase of $19 million in fund balance compared to the previous year decrease of $1 million, resulting in
a net difference of $20 million. Revenues increased by $6 million, related to property taxes associated
with growth in assessed valuation. Expenditures were $11 million higher from general S&EB increases
and higher operating costs than the previous year. Other financing sources(uses) were higher by $25
million.
The Regional Park and Open Space District reported a year-end fund balance of $896 million, which
represented an increase of $106 million in fund balance compared to the previous year increase of $115
million, resulting in a net difference of $9 million. The net change in fund balance was primarily
attributable to an increase in investment income of $7 million. Property tax revenue was nearly the same
as the previous year. Expenditures were higher by $17 million from the prior year due to an increase in
program awards to empower communities and preserve parks and open space.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Governmental Funds-Continued
The MHSA Fund reported a year-end fund balance of $1.741 billion, which represented an increase of
$192 million in fund balance compared to the previous increase of $316 million, resulting in a net
difference of $124 million. Current year revenues were higher by $67 million, primarily from an increase
of $40 million in State revenues and investment income of $27 million, while transfers out increased by
$191 million to support the five MHSA program components (Community Services and Supports;
Prevention and Early Intervention; Innovation; Workforce Education and Training; and Capital Facilities
and Technological Needs).
Proprietary Funds
The County’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements, but in more detail. The County’s principal proprietary funds consist of four hospital
and a waterworks enterprise funds and each one is reported as a major fund. Three hospital funds had
a net deficit as discussed in Note 3.
The County is legally required to provide local matching funds to the health care system in order to
remain eligible for federal and State assistance. Such funds were provided to the hospitals as operating
subsidies from the County General Fund during the year as discussed in Note 15 to the basic financial
statements. The amount of subsidy, per facility, ranged from $86 million for the Harbor-UCLA Medical
Center to $201 million for the Los Angeles General Medical Center. The total subsidy amount was $502
million and is reflected in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position as
“transfers in”. By comparison, the total General Fund subsidy in the prior year was $954 million. During
the current year, the County’s hospital operations experienced higher levels of patient care revenues and
operating expenses in comparison to the prior year as previously discussed.
An additional source of local funding for the Hospitals is the Health Services Measure B Special Revenue
Fund (Measure B Fund). The Measure B Fund receives voter approved property taxes for trauma and
emergency services. In the current year, the Measure B Fund provided transfers to the Los Angeles
General Medical Center ($103 million), Harbor-UCLA Medical Center ($76 million), and Olive-View UCLA
Medical Center ($39 million). The total current year amount of $218 million in Measure B transfers
increased by $9 million from the prior year.
Waterworks Fund reported year-end net position of $774 million, which was $11 million higher than the
previous year increase of $2 million, resulting in a net difference of $9 million from the prior year.
Revenues of $123 million were higher by $22 million than the previous year's amount of $101 million
primarily from increase in water sales and a regional improvement fee in charges for services. Current
year operating expenses of $130 million were higher by $11 million than the previous year due to
increase in operating costs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The accompanying basic financial statements include a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual on Budgetary Basis for the County’s General Fund. The
County’s budgetary basis of accounting is discussed in Notes 1 and 16 to the basic financial statements.
There are approximately 160 separate budget units within the General Fund, excluding capital
improvement projects, which are individually budgeted. The data presented below represents the net
budgetary changes for the General Fund in a highly summarized format. Accordingly, in certain
instances, budgets have been increased for programs within a category even though actual amounts
have not been realized for the category in its entirety. Under the budgetary basis, there was a decrease
of $189 million in the General Fund’s available (unassigned) fund balance from the previous year.

Changes from Amounts Originally Budgeted
During the year, net increases in budgeted revenues and other financing sources were approximately
$839 million. The changes occurred in the following areas:
• The budget for "Taxes" increased by $6 million. The $6 million increase was primarily associated
with year-end budgetary changes that are designed to demonstrate compliance with legal
provisions related to the appropriations of revenues from property taxes and certain other tax
related revenues.
• The estimated revenue for "Intergovernmental revenues" increased by $648 million. Budgeted
revenues for public health, public social services, affordable housing and mental health programs

Actual Revenues/Financing Sources Compared with Final Budget Amounts
Actual revenues and other financing sources recognized by the General Fund were approximately
$29.905 billion. This amount was $1.638 billion, or 5.2%, lower than budget. As discussed below, the
changes occurred in the following areas.
• Actual "Taxes" were higher by $194 million from the amount budgeted. Of this increase, $157
million increase was associated with property tax revenue due to a growth in assessed property
values. Other taxes increased primarily from an increase in aircraft assessment, deed transfer
taxes, and transient occupancy tax by $16 million, $11 million, and $9 million, respectively. There
were net increase of $1 million in sales and other taxes.
• Actual "Intergovernmental revenues" were $1.276 billion lower than the amount budgeted.
Approximately $642 million of intergovernmental revenues were associated with social services
and child and family programs, where reimbursable costs were lower than anticipated due to
delays in hiring and promoting staff, reduced contractual spending for services and child care
provider payments, and delays in implementing new systems. Public health, community health,
health services administration, and economic opportunity programs accounted for approximately
$159 million, $90 million, $41 million, and $28 million, respectively, which experienced lower than
anticipated reimbursable costs and correspondingly lower than expected revenues. This was
offset by $223 million from higher federal and State reimbursable costs associated with the mental
health programs. Budgeted intergovernmental revenues of $373 million were not realized for
various capital improvements, Internal Services department, and disaster recovery programs, as
these initiatives were not completed prior to year-end. Homeless and housing program revenue
of $62 million experienced lower than anticipated revenue for State and federal funded homeless
and housing initiatives. Probation budgeted intergovernmental revenues were lower by $57
million, which experienced lower than anticipated reimbursable operating expenditures and
staffing vacancies. Programs that support criminal justice reform in JCOD and Youth
Development budgeted intergovernmental revenues were lower by $32 million as new programs
and initiatives were still being developed prior to year-end. There were net decreases of $15
million from a variety of programs.
• Actual "Charges for services" were $187 million lower than the amount budgeted. The decrease
was primarily attributable to $55 million, $41 million and $33 million of costs associated with health
services administration, ambulatory care network, and public health programs, respectively, which
experienced lower than anticipated reimbursable costs associated with the medi-cal program. In
addition, $27 million and $10 million charges for services were lower than budget for the
departments of Internal Services and Human Resources, respectively, due to a decrease of
services provided to the departments. Sheriff experienced a $8 million decrease in charges for
services from lower reimbursable services to contract cities. Public Works charges for services
for planning and engineering services were $7 million lower than the budgeted amount. There
were net variances of $6 million from a variety of programs.
• Actual "All other revenues" were $327 million more than budgeted. Interest revenue was higher
by $210 million due to a changes in the market yields throughout the fiscal year. Miscellaneous
revenues were primarily higher from the real estate, insurance proceeds, and mental health
programs by $72 million. Fines and penalties were higher by $47 million. There were net
decreases of $2 million from other revenues for the remaining variance.

Homeless and Housing Measure H costs were $161 million less than budgeted for General Fund
programs. Costs associated with consumer protection, probation, sheriff, JCOD, and youth
development departmental programs funded by the Other Public Protection Special Revenue

Changes from Amounts Originally Budgeted
During the year, net increases in General Fund appropriations and fund balance component changes
were approximately $839 million. The most significant changes occurred in the following areas:
• "General Government" appropriation decreased by $234 million. The decrease was largely
attributable to appropriations not associated with specific County departments. Provisional
appropriations decreased by $141 million and were largely due to the transfer of funds to
purchase the Gas Company Tower in December 2024 and to increase the correction health
services and Sheriff's department appropriation. Appropriation associated with the CFCI
unallocated budget transferred $68 million to the various CFCI functional categories to be aligned
with the CFCI Year 4 Spending Plan which was approved by the Board on June 24, 2025. The
Board of Supervisors appropriation decreased by $30 million to fund various community

Supplies of $14 million for Recreation and cultural services. There were net decreases of $3
million in other public assistance programs.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Changes from Amounts Originally Budgeted-Continue d
• Net fund balance budgetary changes of $460 million had the effect of reducing the available
(unassigned) fund balance component. The changes were largely attributable to the CFCI Year-
end Savings by $427 million as required by Board Policy 4.031 to transfer unspent,
unencumbered funds at year-end for future budgetary recommendations to the Board. The
remaining variance of $33 million was attributable to various other fund balance accounts.
Actual Expenditures/Other Financing Uses Compared with Final Budget Amount
Actual expenditures/other financing uses for the current year were $5.665 billion (15.8%) lower than the
final total budget of $35.759 billion. There were budgetary savings in all functional expenditure
categories. Following are the functional areas that recognized the variations from the final budget:
• General government expenditures were $1.775 billion less than the budgeted amount. Of this
amount, the budgetary savings was largely attributable to appropriations not associated with
specific County departments, such as provisional appropriations and central non-departmental
appropriations by $1.359 billion. S&EB savings for general government operations of $179 million
were due to vacancies and hiring delays. The Board of Supervisors had budgetary savings of $94
million to be spent in future years for various community projects. The Department of Economic
Opportunity had budgetary savings of $76 million to be spent in future years for economic
development initiatives within the County. Internal Services department had budgetary savings of
$47 million due to lower than anticipated operational costs. Chief Executive Office had budgetary
savings of $29 million due to lower than anticipated operational costs. The remaining net
budgetary variance of $9 million was spread across the general government departments and
was mostly related to savings in the areas of services and supplies.
• Public protection expenditures were $394 million less than the budgeted amount. S&EB savings
of $210 million were due to vacancies, hiring delays, and positions that are difficult to hire. The
Electronic Permitting and Inspections County of Los Angeles (EPIC-LA) had budgetary savings of
$50 million which supports the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the
EPIC-LA system. The federal and State disaster budget unit had budgetary savings of $48 million
to be carried forward to respond to future emergency disasters. Justice, Care and Opportunities,
Probation, and Youth development experienced budgetary savings of $45 million, $28 million, and
$28 million, respectively, to continue to improve and develop programs to support the justice-
involved individuals. There was a net budgetary of variance of $15 million for other pubic
protection programs.
• Overall expenditures for the "health and sanitation" category were $475 million less than the
budgeted amount. Specifically, the budgetary savings were from the community health programs,
health services administration, mental health, correctional heath and ambulatory care network of
$149 million, $60 million, $49 million, $40 million, and $14 million, respectively, due to lower than
anticipated costs for professional, contracted, and information technology services, and
implementing new programs. There was also $155 million from S&EB savings due to staffing
vacancies and hiring delays. The remaining variance of $8 million was related to other health and
sanitation programs.

Actual Expenditures/Other Financing Uses Compared with Final Budget Amount-Continued
• Actual "public assistance" expenditures were $1.027 billion lower than the final budget. The
variance of $258 million was related to affordable housing and homeless programs due to delays
in carrying out multi-year projects. Social services and children and family were lower than
budgeted by $414 million and $238 million, respectively. Cost savings in these areas were due to
lower than anticipated costs in implementing new assistance programs, General Relief
Guaranteed Income Pilot Program, Anti-Homelessness subsidy program, and Family First
Prevention Services Act programs. There were also direct program savings associated with lower
than anticipated caseloads. In addition, there were S&EB savings of $124 million due to the hiring
delays and vacancies. The remaining variance of $7 million was related to other public assistance
programs.
• The category referred to as “all other expenditures” reflected actual spending of $1.723 billion less
than the budgeted amount. Of this variance, $1.704 billion was in the capital outlay category and
was related to numerous capital improvements anticipated in the budget that remained in the
planning and development stages and did not incur expenditures during the year. Most of the
unused balance has been re-established in the following year’s budget to ensure the continuity of
the projects, many of which are multi-year in nature. There were S&EB and operation costs
budgetary savings of $5 million and $14 million, respectively, for the recreation and cultural
programs.

Economic Conditions and Outlook
Los Angeles County's FY 2025-2026 budget marks the start of an unprecedented season of budgetary
pressures and constraint as we confront an array of major fiscal challenges against the backdrop of a
highly unsettling economic landscape. The County’s 2025-2026 Budget includes $230.5 million of new
net revenues, a stark decrease of $390.2 million of new net revenues from the previous year's budget.
The budgetary focus will be on funding key existing obligations, including previously contracted increases
in wages and benefits for the County's workforce, growing public assistance caseload costs, previously
approved Board policies and commitments, and compliance with a Department of Justice consent decree
to improve conditions in the County’s jail system for those with mental health conditions.
The County budget also faces a daunting array of challenges in a dynamic economic and political
landscape full of uncertainties which include the AB218 settlement, January 2025 Eaton and Palisades
Wildfires, federal impacts, declining growth in property tax revenues, the complete spend down of the
American Rescue Plan Act funding, and labor negotiations. Even with these challenges, the County's
budget continues to reflect the County's long-standing commitment to responsible and sustainable fiscal
practices.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s 2025-2026 Budget on June 23, 2025. The Budget was
adopted based on estimated fund balances that would be available at the end of 2024-2025. The Board
updated the Budget on September 30, 2025 to reflect final 2024-2025 fund balances and other pertinent
financial information. For the County’s General Fund, the 2025-2026 Budget utilized $4.027 billion of
fund balance, which exceeded the previously estimated fund balance of $3.541 billion. Of the additional
fund balance of $486 billion, $101 million was used to carryover lapsed appropriations and ensure the
continuity of funded program initiatives. The remaining $385 million was primarily used for the continued

momentum for Care First, Jails Last initiative, Hom elessness, Affordable Housing and Mental Health
programs. Public Health services, provide immigrant assistance services, help children and families,
older adults and people with disabilities, public safety, jobs and business development, information
technology investments and set aside $61 million for the County's Rainy Day Fund.
The County continues to face multiple challenges that are expected to significantly affect its fiscal outlook
over the next several years, including slower growth of its locally generated revenues; financing the
$4.828 billion AB 218 childhood sexual assault settlements; accounting for the financial impact from the
devastating January 2025 Eaton and Palisades wildfires; investing in our workforce through negotiated
labor agreements; and addressing the deep federal budget cuts, which have already begun to impact the
County and our residents and are expected to intensify in the years ahead. The County will continue to
advocate for additional federal and State funding even with these fiscal outlook challenges.
The federal economic outlook reflects slower growth amid ongoing efforts to balance inflation control with
sustained economic momentum. The Federal Reserve has signaled a cautious approach to interest rate
adjustments, as inflation remains above long-term targets. In recent months, labor markets and job
growth have reflected weakness which will add more pressure on the Federal Reserve to adjust rates.
Consumer spending has cooled, reflecting the tighter financial conditions. Federal fiscal policy continues
to be shaped by debates over the national debt, spending priorities, and long-term entitlement reform.
Given these current economic challenges, economists have forecasted continued uncertainty and risk to
the strength of the economy. We will closely monitor key economic indicators to guide our efforts in the
development of future budget recommendations that will impact the County's revenues, support the
needs of County residents and advance the Board's priorities.
The County’s budget outlook continues to be influenced by the fiscal condition and outlook of the State of
California. The State Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) issued their fiscal outlook on November 19, 2025
which provides an independent assessment of the State's budget condition with the goal of helping the
State of California legislators prepare for the 2026-27 budget. The LAO reports four key challenges: 1)
Not safe to bet artificial intelligence (AI) fueled exuberance is sustainable; 2) the revenue outlook builds
some insurance against a stock market downturn; 3) 2026-27 budget problem now larger than
anticipated; and 4) Budget position is weak. The State needs to address the budget problem through a
combination of ongoing solutions with achievable spending reductions and/or revenue increase. The LAO
provides a cautious outlook and the State continues to face a structural deficit in the years to come and
will to need to address these future deficits. Health and human services programs are subject to
considerable challenges and uncertainty as the County depends on funding from the State and federal
government.
On November 5, 2024, the voters approved a charter amendment (Measure G) to update the Los
Angeles County government structure, create an independent Ethics Commission, and increase
accountability. The Board has established a Governance Reform Task Force to oversee the
implementation of Measure G while promoting transparency, accountability, and public engagement. It is
expected that the Task Force will complete their work no later December 3, 2028, unless extended by the
Board.

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (page 37) $ 962,262
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation/amortization expense:

In the statement of activities, only the gain or loss on the disposal and impairment of
capital assets is reported, whereas in the governmental funds, the proceeds from the sale
are reported as an increase in financial resources. Thus, the change in net position differs
from the change in fund balance. (64,374)

Amortization of gain or loss on refunding of debt is reported as interest expense in the
governmental activities, but not reported for governmental funds. (22,211)

resources for governmental funds, but were recognized when earned for governmental
activities. 154,436
Timing differences result in more or less expenses in the statement of activities for the
change in unamortized bond premiums. 13,392
Issuance of long-term debt provides resources in the governmental funds, but increases
long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. (1,026,819)

repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position:
Bonds $ 72,011
Notes, loans, and lease revenue obligation notes 206,829
Other long-term notes, loans, leases and subscriptions 162,394 441,234
Payment to escrow agent for refunding 131,677

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
The County of Los Angeles (County), which was established in 1850, is a legal subdivision of the
State of California (State) charged with general governmental powers. The County's powers are
exercised through an elected five member Board of Supervisors (Board), which, as the governing
body of the County, is responsible for the legislative and executive control of the County. As required
by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), these basic financial statements include both
those of the County and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in
the County’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships
with the County.
The basic financial statements include blended, fiduciary and discretely presented component units.
The blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the
County’s operations. The data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.
The fiduciary component unit is reported under Fiduciary Funds in the basic financial statements.
The discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in
the government-wide financial statements.
Blended Component Units
While each of the component units is legally separate from the County, the County is financially
accountable for these entities. Financial accountability is primarily demonstrated by the County’s
Board acting as the governing board for each of the component units and its ability to impose its will
or an existence of a financial benefit/burden relationship. County management has determined that
the following related entities should be included in the basic financial statements as blended
component units:
Fire Protection District Waterworks Districts
Flood Control District Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing
Garbage Disposal Districts Corporation (a Not-for-Profit Corporation) (NPC)
Improvement Districts Various Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs)
Regional Park and Open Space District Los Angeles County Securitization Corporation
Sewer Maintenance Districts (LACSC)
Street Lighting Districts Los Angeles County Facilities Inc. (LACF)
Los Angeles County Facilities 2 Inc. (LACF2)
The various districts are included primarily because the Board is also their governing board and the
County has operational responsibilities for the districts. As such, the Board establishes policy,
appoints management and exercises budgetary control. The NPC and JPAs have been included
because their sole purpose is to finance and construct County capital assets and because they are
dependent upon the County for funding.
The Los Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Corporation (LACCAL) is organized as a NPC in
which the primary government is the sole corporate member, as identified in LACCAL's articles of
incorporation or by laws, and the component unit is included in the financial reporting entity.

Blended Component Units-Continued
The LACSC is a California public benefit corporation created by the County Board in January 2006.
Three directors, the County’s Auditor-Controller, Treasurer and Tax Collector, and an independent
party designated by at least one of the County directors, govern the LACSC. The LACSC purpose is
to acquire the County’s rights in relation to future tobacco settlement payments and to facilitate the
issuance of long-term bonds secured by the County Tobacco Assets. The LACSC provides service
solely to the County and is reported as a blended component unit of the County.
LACF is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and an organization described under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It was formed on April 25, 2016. On July 26, 2018,
LACF issued $302.38 million of lease revenue bonds to be used to finance the construction of the
Vermont Corridor County Administration Building and parking structure. LACF is reported as a
blended component unit because it provides services solely to the County and it is fiscally dependent
on the County. It is reported under Public Buildings Debt Service and Capital Projects funds.
LACF2 is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and an organization described under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It was formed on December 3, 2021 and
replicates the financing model of Vermont Corridor Site 1, the Vermont Corridor County
Administration Building and parking structure. On August 22, 2024, LACF2 issued $205.90 million of
tax exempt lease revenue bonds and $6.23 million of taxable lease revenue bonds to be used to
finance the construction of the Vermont Corridor Site 2, a County Administration Building. LACF2 is
reported as a blended component unit because it provides services solely to the County and it is
fiscally dependent on the County. It is reported under Public Buildings Debt Service and Capital
Projects funds.
Fiduciary Component Unit
The County pension plan is administered by the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement
Association (LACERA), which was established under the County Employees' Retirement Law of
1937 (CERL). LACERA is a cost-sharing, multi-employer defined benefit plan. LACERA provides
retirement, disability, death benefits and cost of living adjustments to eligible members. LACERA
also administers an agent multiple-employer Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) or Retiree
Healthcare Program on behalf of the County. LACERA is reported in the Pension and OPEB Trust
Funds on the Statement of Net Position - Fiduciary Funds of the basic financial statements and has
been included because its operations are dependent upon County funding and because its
operations, almost exclusively, benefit the County. LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report,
which is available at its offices located at Gateway Plaza, 300 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California
91101-4199 or at www.LACERA.com.
Discretely Presented Component Units
Los Angeles County Development Authority
The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) was established on July 1, 1982 under the
provisions of Section 34100-34160 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California.

Los Angeles County Development Authority-Continued
LACDA is responsible for:
• Administering the Housing Choice Voucher and other Section 8 programs;
• Directing the County’s housing programs, including planning, housing finance, production
and conservation, and management of the County’s public housing developments;
• Financing community improvements such as resurfacing streets and rehabilitating homes
and businesses;
• Providing economic development, business revitalization services, and comprehensive
planning systems for affordable housing; and
• Developing housing, business, and industry in designated areas.
While its Board members are the same as the County Board, LACDA does not meet the criteria for
blending due to the following: 1) there is no financial burden or benefit relationship with the County
nor does management of the County have operational responsibilities over it; 2) LACDA does not
provide services entirely or almost entirely to the County; and 3) LACDA's total debt outstanding is
not expected to be repaid with resources of the County. The financial activity of LACDA is reported
within the Discretely Presented Component Units column of the government-wide financial
statements. LACDA issues a separate financial report that can be obtained at https://
www.lacda.org/home/about/agency-overview or by writing to the Los Angeles County Development
Authority at 700 W. Main Street, Alhambra, California 91801.
Los Angeles County Children and Families First - Proposition 10 Commission
Los Angeles County Children and Families First - Proposition 10 Commission, also known as First 5
LA, was established by the County as a separate legal entity to administer the County's share of
tobacco taxes levied by the State pursuant to Proposition 10. The Board established First 5 LA with
nine voting members and four non-voting representatives. Of the nine voting members, one is a
member of the Board of Supervisors, three are heads of County Departments (Public Health, Mental
Health, and Children and Family Services), and five are public members appointed by the Board.
The non-voting representatives are from other County commissions and planning groups.
First 5 LA services support programs and services for children ages prenatal through five, and their
families, in the areas of health, safety, early education and literacy. First 5 LA is a discretely
presented component unit of the County because the County’s Board appoints the voting
Commissioners and the County has the ability to impose its will by removing those Commissioners at
will. First 5 LA hires its own employees, including an Executive Director and functions independent
of the County. It is discretely presented because its governing body is not substantially the same as
the County's governing body and it does not provide services entirely or exclusively to the County.
The financial activity of First 5 LA is reported within the Discretely Presented Component Units
column of the government-wide financial statements. First 5 LA issues a separate financial report
that can be obtained at https://www.first5la.org/article/first-5-la-annual-comprehensive-financial-

Basic Financial Statements
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) 34, "Basic
Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local
Governments," the basic financial statements consist of the following:
• Government-wide financial statements;
• Fund financial statements; and
• Notes to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the primary
government, the County, and its blended and discretely presented component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities, except for
services provided among funds (other than internal service funds). These statements distinguish
between the governmental and business-type activities of the County and between the County and
its discretely presented component units.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are
reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees charged
to external parties.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for each segment of the business-type activities of the County and for each function of the County’s
governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or
function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include
charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs. Grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
program are also recognized as program revenues. Revenues that are not classified as program
revenues, including all taxes, are presented instead as general revenues.

Government-wide Financial Statements-Continued
Net position is classified into the following three components: 1) net investment in capital assets; 2)
restricted; and 3) unrestricted. Net position is reported as restricted when it has external restrictions
imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. At June 30, 2025, the restricted net
position balances were $5.905 billion and $91.64 million for governmental activities and business-
type activities, respectively. For governmental activities, $1.268 billion was restricted by enabling
legislation.
When both the restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, restricted
resources are used first and then unrestricted resources are used to the extent necessary.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the County’s funds, including fiduciary funds
and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental,
proprietary, and fiduciary are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major
governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining
governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
In accordance with GAAP, the County reports on each major fund. By definition, the General Fund is
always considered a major fund. Funds other than the General Fund must be reported as major
funds if they meet both the ten percent and five percent criterion, defined respectively, 1) an
individual fund reports at least ten percent of any of the following: a) total fund assets and deferred
outflows of resources, b) total fund liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, c) total fund
revenues, or d) total fund expenditures/expenses; 2) an individual fund reports at least five percent of
the aggregated total for both governmental funds and enterprise funds of any one of the items for
which it met the ten percent criterion. In addition, a fund may be reported as major if it is believed to
be of particular importance to financial statement users.

Fund Financial Statements-Continued
The County reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is available for any authorized purpose and is used to account for and
report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.
Fire Protection District
The Fire Protection District Fund is used to account for fire prevention and suppression,
rescue service, management of hazardous materials incidents, ocean lifeguard services, and
acquisition and maintenance of the Fire Protection District property and equipment. Funding
comes primarily from the Fire Protection District’s statutory share of the Countywide tax levy,
voter-approved taxes and charges for services.
Flood Control District
The Flood Control District Fund provides flood protection services that incorporate an
integrated water resource management approach in providing flood protection; increases local
water availability through conservation efforts; increases stormwater capture and reduces
stormwater and urban runoff pollution; and provides passive recreational opportunities. The
primary sources of revenue for the Flood Control District are property taxes and benefit
assessments (charges for services).
LA County Library
The LA County Library Fund is used to account for free library services to the unincorporated
areas of the County and to cities that contract for these services. Funding comes primarily
from the Library’s statutory share of the Countywide tax levy and voter-approved taxes.

The Regional Park and Open Space District Fund is used to account for the programs
designed to preserve beaches, parks, and wild lands, to acquire and renovate new and
existing recreational facilities, and to restore rivers, streams, and trails in the County. Funding
comes primarily from voter-approved special taxes.
Mental Health Services Act
The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Fund is used to account for the County's mental
health delivery system for children, transition age youth, adults, older adults, and families.
Revenues are derived primarily by the passage of State Proposition 63 in November 2004.
Proposition 63 generates mental health revenue through a one percent income surcharge on
individuals with State taxable incomes over $1.00 million.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of
when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the County gives (or
receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property and
sales taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is
recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenues from grants and similar items
are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when
measurable and available. The County considers revenues to be available if collectible within one
year after year-end, except for property taxes, which are considered available to the extent that they
are collectible within 60 days after year-end. When property taxes are measurable but not available,
the collectible portion (taxes levied less estimated uncollectibles) is recorded as deferred inflows of
resources in the period when an enforceable legal claim to the assets arises. Expenditures are
generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims (including
workers’ compensation) and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. General capital
asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt,
financed purchase obligations, lease liabilities, and subscription liabilities are reported as other
financing sources.
For the governmental funds financial statements, revenues are recorded when they are susceptible
to accrual. Specifically, ad valorem property taxes (except for redevelopment agency dissolution),
sales taxes, investment income (loss), charges for services, and other miscellaneous revenue are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenue in the current fiscal
period. Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the
susceptible to accrual criteria are met. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when
the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met
and are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier, if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. When
all eligibility requirements are met, except for the timing requirements, a deferred inflow of resources
is reported until the time requirements have passed. All other revenues are not considered
susceptible to accrual and are recognized when received, including property tax revenues derived
from redevelopment agency dissolution.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Basis of Accounting-Continued
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the County’s four Hospital Enterprise Funds (Hospitals) are from patient services. The
principal operating revenues for the Waterworks Enterprise Fund, Nonmajor Aviation Enterprise Fund
and Internal Service Funds are charges for services. Operating expenses for all Enterprise Funds
and the Internal Service Funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and
depreciation and amortization on capital assets. Medical malpractice expenses, which are self-
insured, are classified as operating expenses of the Hospitals. All other revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating items. As discussed in Note 14,
intergovernmental transfer payments are recorded in the Hospitals and this item is classified as a
nonoperating expense.
Budgetary Data
The County is legally required to adopt an annual budget in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 29000-29144 of the Government Code of the State of California (Government Code),
commonly known as the County Budget Act. The County prepares and adopts a budget on or before
October 2 for each fiscal year. The Board also adopts subsequent revisions that occur throughout
the year. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Budgets are adopted for the major
governmental funds and certain nonmajor governmental funds on a basis of accounting that is
different than GAAP. Annual budgets were not adopted for the JPAs, Public Buildings and the
LACSC debt service funds, the capital project funds and the permanent funds.
The County's legal level of budgetary control (i.e. the level at which expenditures may not legally
exceed appropriation) is at the fund, department, budget unit and object level. Budget units are
established at the discretion of the Board. Within the General Fund (with certain exceptions), budget
units are generally defined as individual departments. For other funds, each individual fund
constitutes a budget unit. Expenditures are controlled at the budget unit and object level, except for
capital asset expenditures, which are controlled at the sub-object level within the Fund. The total
budget exceeds $50.065 billion and is currently controlled through the use of approximately 500
separate budget units. There were no excesses of expenditures over the related appropriations
within any fund, department, budget unit and object level for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The County prepares a separate budgetary document which demonstrates legal compliance with the
budgetary control at the fund, department, budget unit, and object level. Presentation of the basic
financial statements at the legal level is not feasible due to excessive length; therefore, the budget
and actual statements have been aggregated by function. The County Final Budget Appendix B, that
demonstrates legal compliance with budgetary control, is made available to the public on the
County’s website at https://ceo.lacounty.gov/budget, or can be obtained from the Auditor-Controller’s
office.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Budgetary Data -Continued
The Board must approve budget amendments or transfers of appropriations between fund,
department, budget unit, and object level. Supplemental appropriations financed by unanticipated
revenue during the year must also be approved by the Board. Transfers of appropriations
between objects of expenditure within the same fund, department and budget unit must be
approved by the Board or the Chief Executive Office, depending upon the amount transferred.
The original and final budget amounts are reported in the accompanying basic financial
statements. Any excess of budgetary expenditures and other financing uses over revenues and
other financing sources is financed by beginning available fund balances as provided for in the
County Budget Act.
Note 16 describes the differences between the budgetary basis of accounting and GAAP. A
reconciling schedule is also presented for the major governmental funds.
Property Taxes
All jurisdictions within California derive their taxing authority from the State Constitution and various
legislative provisions contained in the Government Code and Revenue and Taxation Code. Property
is assessed at 100% of full cash or market value (with some exceptions) pursuant to Article XIIIA of
the California State Constitution and statutory provisions by the County Assessor and State Board of
Equalization. The total Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 assessed valuation of the County approximated
$2.123 trillion.
The property tax levy to support general operations of the various jurisdictions is limited to one
percent (1%) of full cash value and is distributed in accordance with statutory formulae. Amounts
needed to finance the annual requirements of voter-approved debt are excluded from this limitation
and are separately calculated and levied each fiscal year. The rates are formally adopted by either
the Board or the city councils and, in some instances, the governing board of a special district.
The County is divided into 13,197 tax rate areas, which are unique combinations of various
jurisdictions servicing a specific geographic area. The rates levied within each tax rate area vary
only in relation to levies assessed as a result of voter-approved taxes or indebtedness.
Property taxes are levied on both real and personal property. Secured property taxes are levied
during September of each year. They become a lien on real property on January 1 preceding the
fiscal year for which taxes are levied. These tax payments can be made in two equal installments;
the first is due November 1 and delinquent with penalties after December 10; the second is due
February 1 and delinquent with penalties after April 10. Secured property taxes, which are
delinquent and unpaid as of June 30, are declared to be tax defaulted and are subject to redemption
penalties, costs, and interest when paid. If the delinquent taxes are not paid at the end of 5 years,
the property may be sold at public auction. The proceeds are used to pay the delinquent amounts
due, and any excess is remitted, if claimed, to the taxpayer. Additional tax liens are created when
there is a change in ownership of property or upon completion of new construction. Tax bills for these
new tax liens are issued throughout the fiscal year and contain various payment and delinquent
dates but are generally due within one year. If the new tax liens are lower, the taxpayer receives a
tax refund rather than a tax bill. Unsecured personal property taxes are not a lien against real
property. These taxes are due on August 1 and become delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31.

Legislation Dissolving Redevelopment Agencies and Affect on Property Taxes
State Assembly Bill (AB) x1 26, also referred to as the “Redevelopment Dissolution Act” was
approved in 2011. Under AB x1 26, property tax revenues are allocated to pay enforceable legal
obligations, pass-through payments and eligible administrative costs of the successor agencies. Any
remaining property tax revenues, otherwise known as “residual taxes,” are distributed as property tax
revenue to the appropriate local government agencies, including the County. In FY 2018-2019, five
Oversight Boards were established in the County per Senate Bill 107. The Oversight Boards are
required to evaluate and approve the successor agencies’ remaining enforceable legal obligations.
The County Auditor-Controller is responsible for disbursing property tax increment revenues in
accordance with provisions of AB x1 26 and applicable amendments. For the year ended June 30,
2025, the County’s share of residual property tax revenues was $486.69 million, of which $403.68
million was recognized in the County’s General Fund.
Deposits and Investments
Deposits and investments as discussed in Note 4 are reflected in the following asset accounts:
Pooled Cash and Investments
As provided for by the Government Code, the cash balances of substantially all funds are pooled
and invested by the County Treasurer for the purpose of increasing interest earnings through
investment activities. Interest earned on pooled investments is deposited to participating funds
based upon each fund's average daily deposit balance during the allocation period. Each
respective fund's share of the total pooled cash and investments is included among asset
balances under the caption "Pooled Cash and Investments."
Pooled Cash and Investments are identified within the following categories for all County
operating funds:
Operating Pooled Cash and Investments
This account represents amounts reflected in the County’s day-to-day financial records. Such
amounts are utilized to determine the availability of cash for purposes of disbursing and
borrowing funds.
Other Pooled Cash and Investments
This account represents amounts identified in various funds as of June 30, 2025, that were
owed to or were more appropriately classified in County operating funds. Accordingly, certain
cash balances have been reclassified from the custodial funds.
Other Investments
This account represents Pension and OPEB Trust Fund investments, various JPAs, NPCs and
Public Buildings (bond financed capital assets, including leases), and amounts on deposit with
the County Treasurer, which are invested separately as provided by the Government Code or
by specific instructions from the depositing entities.

Deposits and Investments-Continued
Restricted Assets
Enterprise Funds’ restricted assets represent cash and investments of certain JPAs and Public
Buildings projects restricted in accordance with the provisions of the certificates of participation
issued. The Internal Service Funds’ restricted assets represent cash and investments
restricted for debt service in accordance with the provisions of the LACCAL bond indenture. All
of the above noted assets are included in the various disclosures in Note 4. These restricted
assets are presented as noncurrent assets and are generally associated with long-term bonds
and certificates of participation payable.
Lease Receivable
As a lessor, the County recognized a lease receivable and a corresponding deferred inflow of
resources based on the payment provisions of the contracts in the government-wide statement of net
position and the governmental funds balance sheet as discussed in Note 9. The lease receivable
was measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease
term. The deferred inflows of resources was measured at the value of the lease receivable plus any
payments received at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods.
The amount of lease revenue and interest revenue are reflected as program revenues under
"Charges for Services" on the statement of activities.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of materials and supplies held for consumption, are valued at cost using
the first in/first out basis. The inventory costs of the governmental funds are accounted for as
expenditures when the inventory items are purchased. Reported inventories are categorized as
nonspendable fund balance because these amounts are not available for appropriation and
expenditure.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land and easements, capital assets in progress, buildings and
improvements, equipment, intangible assets, infrastructure, and intangible right-to-use assets, are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. Infrastructure assets are divided into the five following networks: road, water,
sewer, flood control and aviation. Capital assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Intangible right-to-use assets are defined as lease assets
and subscription assets with a useful life of more than one year and are recorded at the present
value of future lease or subscription payments, including expenses to place the asset into service. In
accordance with GASB Statement Nos. 87 and 96, the County has reported intangible right-to-use
assets for land, buildings and improvements, equipment, and subscriptions. Donated capital assets,
donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession
arrangement are reported at acquisition value rather than fair value.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Capital Assets-Continued
Capital outlay is recorded as expenditures in the governmental fund financial statements and as
assets in the government-wide financial statements to the extent the County’s capitalization
threshold is met. In accordance with GAAP, in FY 2020-2021, the County changed the accounting
for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period for business-type activities and
enterprise funds. It requires that such interest cost be recognized as an expense in the period in
which the cost is incurred. Accordingly, such interest costs for business-type activity and enterprise
funds are no longer capitalized as part of the historical cost of a capital asset.
The County’s capitalization thresholds are $100,000 for buildings and improvements, $5,000 for
equipment, $1 million for software intangible assets, $100,000 for non-software intangible assets,
$25,000 for infrastructure assets, $500,000 for lease assets, and $5,000 for subscription assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major
improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are
capitalized subject to the threshold in the affected asset category. Upon sale or retirement of capital
assets, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, as applicable, are
removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of
operations. Specific disclosures related to capital assets appear in Note 5. Amortization for
software, other intangible assets, lease assets, and subscription assets is included in the reporting of
depreciation.
Capital assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings and Improvements 10 to 50 years
Equipment 2 to 35 years
Software 5 to 25 years
Infrastructure 15 to 100 years
Lease assets Shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term, or the asset's
useful life if there is a purchase option likely to be exercised
Subscription assets Shorter of the asset's useful life or the agreement term
Works of art and historical treasures held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance
of public service, rather than financial gain, are not capitalized. These items are protected,
encumbered, conserved, and preserved by the County. It is the County’s policy to utilize proceeds
from the sale of these items for the acquisition of other items for collection and display.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The County recognizes deferred outflows of resources and/or deferred inflows of resources in the
government-wide statement of net position, governmental funds balance sheets, and proprietary
funds statement of net position.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources-Continued
In addition to assets, the financial statements report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to
future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditures) until
then.
In addition to liabilities, the financial statements report a separate section for deferred inflows of
resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future
periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time, except for
pension and OPEB related deferred inflows of resources, which will be recognized as a credit to
expense.
Specific disclosures of items representing deferred outflows and inflows of resources appear in Note
20.
Advances Payable
The County uses certain funds as clearing accounts for the distribution of financial resources to other
County funds. For external financial reporting purposes, the portions of the clearing account
balances that pertain to other County funds should be reported as cash of the appropriate funds.
The corresponding liability is included in “Advances Payable” because the amounts represent
unearned revenue. The unspent balance of certain COVID-19 related financial assistance payments
are recognized as Advances Payable due to the uncertainty on the revenue recognition. See Note
22 for additional information.
Compensated Absences
Vacation pay benefits accrue to employees ranging from 10 to 25 days per year depending on years
of service and the benefit plan. Sick leave benefits accrue at the rate of 10 to 12 days per year for
union represented employees depending on years of service. Non-represented employees accrue at
a rate of up to eight days of sick leave per year depending on the benefit plan. Employees can also
accumulate unused holiday and compensatory time off benefits throughout the year. All benefits are
payable upon termination, if unused, within limits and rates as specified in the County Salary
Ordinance.
Liabilities for compensated absences are accrued in the government-wide financial statements and
in the proprietary funds. For the governmental funds, expenditures are recorded when amounts
become due and payable (i.e., when employees utilize the benefit during their employments or when
employees terminate from service).
Lease Liability
As a lessee, a lease is defined as a contractual agreement that conveys control of the right-to-use
another entity's nonfinancial asset, for a minimum contractual period of greater than one year, in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction. The County leases a significant amount of nonfinancial
assets such as land, buildings, and equipment. The related lease liabilities are presented in the
amounts equal to the present value of lease payments, payable during the remaining lease term. A
lease liability, as discussed in Note 9, and the associated right-to-use lease asset, as discussed in
Note 5, is recognized on the government-wide statement of net position.

Subscription Liability
A subscription is defined as a contractual agreement that conveys control of the right-to-use another
entity's information technology software, for a minimum contractual period of greater than one year,
in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. The County has entered into various subscription
based information technology arrangements. The related subscription liabilities are presented in the
amounts equal to the present value of subscription payments, payable during the remaining
subscription term. A subscription liability, as discussed in Note 10, and the associated right-to-use
subscription asset, as discussed in Note 5, is recognized on the government-wide statement of net
position.
Net Pension Liability and Related Balances
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net
position of LACERA and additions to/deductions from LACERA’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by LACERA. For this purpose, benefit payments
(including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance
with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Reported results pertain to liability and
asset information within the following defined timeframes:
Valuation Date - June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024
Measurement Date - June 30, 2024
Measurement Period - July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Net OPEB Liability and Related Balances - Retiree Healthcare
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability related to Retiree Healthcare, deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about
the fiduciary net position of LACERA and additions to/deductions from LACERA’s fiduciary net
position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LACERA. For this
purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Reported results pertain to liability and asset
information within the following defined timeframes:
Valuation Date - June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024

Total OPEB Liability and Related Balances - Long-Term Disability
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability related to Long-Term Disability (LTD), deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, have
been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, the LTD plan
recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Reported
results pertain to liability information within the following defined timeframes:
Valuation Date - June 30, 2024
Measurement Date - June 30, 2024
Measurement Period - July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Long-term Debt
In the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements, long-term debt and other long-
term obligations, including financed purchase obligations, are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary funds statement of net position. Bond
premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs
are recognized in the period issued.
In the governmental funds financial statements, bond premiums, discounts, and issuance costs are
recognized in the period issued. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual net proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Interest is reported as an expenditure in the
period in which the related payment is made. The matured portion of long-term debt (i.e., portion
that has come due for payment) is reported as a liability in the fund financial statements of the
related fund.
Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements, the reported fund balances are categorized as nonspendable,
restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based on the extent to which the County is bound to
honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Specific
details related to Fund Balances appear in Note 21.
Nonspendable Fund Balance - amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not
in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in
spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for
example: inventories and long-term notes receivable.
Restricted Fund Balance - amounts with constraints placed on their use that are either
(a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only by changing the condition of the
constraint.
75
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Continued
Fund Balances-Continued
Committed Fund Balance - amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the County’s highest level of decision-making authority, the
County’s Board. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the County taking the same
formal action that imposed the constraint originally. The underlying action that imposed the
limitation needs to occur no later than the close of the fiscal year.
Assigned Fund Balance - amounts intended to be used by the County for specific purposes
that are neither restricted nor committed. The intent can be established at either the highest
level of decision making, or by a body or an official designated for that purpose. Authorization
to assign fund balance rests with the County’s Board through the budget process. The Board
has also delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer and County Department Heads for
contracts and purchasing authority.
Unassigned Fund Balance - the residual classification for the County’s General Fund that
includes amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned
classification is used only if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.
The Board establishes, modifies, or rescinds fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance
or resolution. For its budget, the County utilizes the GASB 54 criteria and an ordinance or resolution
that are equally binding, for purposes of establishing a fund balance commitment. This is done
through the adoption of the budget and subsequent amendments that occur throughout the fiscal
year.
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in
multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is generally depleted in the order of restricted,
committed, assigned, and unassigned.
Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, all amounts reported as "Pooled Cash and Investments,"
"Other Investments," and "Restricted Assets" are considered cash equivalents. Pooled cash and
investment amounts represent funds held in the County Treasurer's cash management pool. Other
investments and restricted assets are invested in money market mutual funds and U.S. Treasury
securities held by outside trustees. Such amounts are similar in nature to demand deposits (i.e.,
funds may be deposited and withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and deferred outflows
of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following GASB Statements have been implemented in the current basic financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 101 - Statement No. 101, "Compensated Absences", provides an updated
framework to meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition
and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the
recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously
required disclosures. This statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2023. See below for the restatement of net position due to the implementation of this statement.
GASB Statement No. 102 - Statement No. 102, "Certain Risk Disclosures" enhances financial
reporting by requiring state and local governments to disclose risks stemming from certain
concentrations and constraints that may make them vulnerable to substantial financial impacts. This
statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2024. This statement did not
have a material impact to the financial statements. We will apply the statement as appropriate in the
future.
Restatement of Net Position
Change in Accounting Policy - GASB 101
The County implemented GASB 101 during the fiscal year, which resulted in a restatement of net
position. Net position at July 1, 2024, as restated is shown in the tables below.
Change to or within the Financial Reporting Entity
Martin Luther King, Jr. ambulatory care operations and related assets and liabilities were transferred
from the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Hospital Enterprise Fund and business-type activities to the
Capital Projects Public Buildings Fund and governmental activities under the Ambulatory Care
Network as of July 1, 2024. Net position and fund balance at July 1 2024, as restated are shown in
the tables below.
Error Correction
In FY 2023-2024, there was a change to or within the financial entity where Recuperative Care
Centers were transferred from the hospitals to the new Health Services - Community Programs
department. Capital assets were transferred from the Hospital Enterprise Funds and business-type
activities to governmental activities. However, the corresponding bond-related assets and liabilities
were not transferred. In FY 2024-2025, the Lease Revenue Bonds, 2021 Series F, assets and
liabilities for the Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles General Medical Center, and Rancho
Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center Recuperative Care Centers were transferred from the
Hospital Enterprise Funds and business-type activities to governmental activities under the Health
Services - Community Programs department. The effect of the corrected balances to the prior year
change in net position is immaterial. Net position and fund balance at July 1, 2024, as restated are
shown in the tables below.

4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued
County Treasurer Cash
As of June 30, 2025, the County Treasurer (Treasurer) maintained accounts in six banks. The
carrying amount of the Treasurer’s total deposits in financial institutions was $276.66 million,
deposits in transit were $31.96 million, and cash in the Treasurer’s vault was $647 thousand.
Under California Government Code Section 53652, each financial institution in California is required
to pledge a pool of securities as collateral against all of its public deposits. California
Government Code Section 53651 delineates the types of eligible securities and the required
collateral percentage, generally at 110%. In addition, under California Government Code Section
53653, the Treasurer has discretion to waive security for the portion of any deposits as insured
pursuant to federal law. Through contractual agreement, the Treasurer has opted to waive security
for the portions of deposits that are federally insured.
The total balance of deposits in financial institutions was covered by federal depository insurance or
collateralized with securities monitored by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation
(DFPI). DFPI confirmed that the pools of collateral related to the County Treasurer’s deposits were
maintained at required levels as of June 30, 2025.
County Investment Pool
California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635 authorize the Treasurer to invest the
External Investment Pool (Pool) and SPI funds in obligations of the United States Treasury, federal

County Investment Pool-Continued
The School Districts and the Superior Court are required by legal provisions to participate in the
County’s investment pool. Fifty-seven percent (57.31%) of the Treasurer’s Pool consists of these
involuntary participants. Voluntary participants in the County’s Pool include the Sanitation Districts,
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the South Coast Air Quality Management District and other
special districts with independent governing boards. The deposits held for both involuntary and
voluntary entities are included in either the Investment Trust Fund or the External Investment Pool
(Custodial Fund). Certain SPI have been made by the County as directed by external depositors.
This investment activity occurs separately from the County’s Pool and is reported in the External
Specific Investment Pool (Custodial Fund) in the amount of $210.79 million. The Pool is not
registered as an investment company with the SEC. California Government Code statutes and the
County Board set forth the various investment policies that the Treasurer must follow.
Investments are stated at fair value and are valued daily. The Treasurer categorizes its fair value
measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. Securities classified in Level 1
of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities.
Securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using other observable inputs
such as matrix pricing techniques or based on quoted prices for assets in markets that are not
active. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to
benchmark quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Securities classified in
Level 3 are valued using the income approach such as discounted cash flow techniques. Investment
in an external government investment pool is not subject to reporting within the level hierarchy.
Investments in LAIF are governed by the California Government Code and overseen by a five
member Local Investment Advisory Board as designated by the California Government Code. As of
June 30, 2025, the total amount invested by all California local governments and special districts in
LAIF was $24.489 billion. LAIF is part of the State of California’s Pooled Money Investment Account
(PMIA), which as of June 30, 2025 had a balance of $178.131 billion. The PMIA is not SEC
registered, but is required to invest according to the California Government Code. Included in the
PMIA’s investment portfolio are structured notes and asset-backed securities totaling $6.788 billion
at June 30, 2025. Collectively, these represent 3.81% of the PMIA balance of $178.131 billion. The
SPI holdings in the LAIF investment pool as of June 30, 2025, were $44.12 million, which were
valued using a fair value factor provided by LAIF.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. The County’s Investment Policy limits most investment maturities to less than five years,
with the exception of U.S. Treasury Notes, Bills, and Bonds and U.S. Agency Securities, which may
have maturities beyond five years. The Treasurer manages the Pool and mitigates exposure to
declines in fair value by generally investing in short-term investments with maturities of six months or
less and by holding all investments to maturity.
The Treasury Pool maintained the weighted average maturity range of 1.0 to 4.0 years per the Pool
policy. For purposes of computing weighted average maturity, the maturity date of variable-rate
notes is the stated maturity.
The balance of the Pool's investments at June 30, 2025, is $57.406 billion, of which 68.95% will
mature in six months or less. Of the remainder, 28.46% have a maturity of more than one year. At
June 30, 2025, the weighted average maturity in years for the Pool was 1.44 years.
The California Government Code and the Investment Policy allow the Treasurer to purchase floating
rate notes, that is, any instruments that have a coupon interest rate that is adjusted periodically due
to changes in a base or benchmark rate. The Investment Policy limits the amount invested in
floating rate notes to 10% of the Pool portfolio. The Investment Policy prohibits the purchase of
inverse floating rate notes and hybrid or complex structured investments and for the year ended
June 30, 2025, the Pool contained floating rate notes at fair value of $29.09 million (0.05% of the
Pool). The notes are tied to the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill and Bank of America prime rates. The
fair value of variable securities is generally less susceptible to changes in value than fixed rate
securities because the variable-rate coupon resets back to the market rate on a periodic basis.
At June 30, 2025, there were no variable rate notes in the SPI and Other Specific Investments.
Fair value fluctuates with interest rates, and increasing interest rates could cause fair value to
decline below original cost. County management believes the liquidity in the portfolios is adequate to
meet cash flow requirements and to preclude the County from having to sell investments below
original cost for that purpose.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that the Treasurer will not be able to recover the value
of investment securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Investments are exposed to
custodial credit risk if the securities are uninsured, are not registered in the name of the Treasurer
and are held by either the counterparty, or the counterparty's trust department or agent but not in the
Treasurer's name. At year-end, all Pool, SPI and Other Specific Investment securities, except for the
Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bond (RPV Bond), Bond Anticipation
Notes (BANS) and LAIF, were held by the custodian bank in the name of the Treasurer. The RPV
Bond and BANS were held in the Treasurer’s vault and are recorded in the Los Angeles County
Securities line item. The LAIF investments were managed by the State of California and the County
is considered a pool participant.

4. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-Continued
Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer, or other counterparty to an investment, will not fulfill its
obligations. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an
investment in a single issuer. The County mitigates these risks by holding a diversified portfolio of
high quality investments.
The Investment Policy establishes acceptable credit ratings for investments from any two of three
Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO). For an issuer of short-term debt,
the rating must be no less than A-1 (S&P), P-1 (Moody’s), and F1 (Fitch) while an issuer of long-term
debt shall be rated no less than an “A.” All investments purchased during the year ended June 30,
2025 met the credit rating criteria in the Investment Policy, at the issuer level. However, while the
NRSROs did rate the issuer of the investments purchased, the NRSROs did not, in all instances,
rate the investment itself (e.g., commercial paper, corporate and deposit notes, negotiable
certificates of deposit, and U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes). Accordingly, for purposes of
reporting the credit quality distribution of investments, some investments are reported as not rated.
The Investment Policy also permits investments in LAIF, pursuant to California Government Code
Section 16429.1. At June 30, 2025, a portion of the SPI was invested in LAIF, which is unrated as to
credit quality.
The Pool and SPI had the following investments in a single issuer that represent 5% or more of
total investments at June 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The California Government Code permits the Treasurer to enter into reverse repurchase
agreements, that is, a sale of securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase them in the
future at the same price plus a contract rate of interest. The fair value of the securities underlying
reverse repurchase agreements normally exceeds the cash received, providing the broker-dealer a
margin against a decline in the fair value of the securities. If the broker-dealer defaults on the
obligation to resell these securities to the County or provide securities or cash of equal value, the
County would suffer an economic loss equal to the difference between the fair value plus accrued
interest of the underlying securities and the agreement obligation, including accrued interest.
The County's investment guidelines limit the maximum par value of reverse repurchase agreements
to $500.00 million and proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements may only be reinvested in
instruments with maturities at or before the maturity of the reverse repurchase agreement. During
the fiscal year, the County did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements.

Statements and Manager Guidelines for the management of the LACERA defined benefit retirement
plan (Pension Plan) and the LACERA Other Post-Employment Benefit Master Trust (OPEB Master
Trust or OPEB Trust). BOI exercises authority and control over the management of LACERA’s
investment assets by setting a policy that the investment office executes either internally or through
the use of prudent external experts.
Each Investment Policy Statement recognizes that every investment asset class and type is subject
to certain risks. Outlined below are the deposit and investment risks as they relate to fixed income
investments.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or a counterparty to an investment transaction will not fulfill its
contractual obligations, resulting in a loss of principal or interest and a decline in the investment's
value. LACERA seeks to maintain a diversified portfolio of fixed and floating rate instruments in
order to obtain the highest total return for the Pension Plan at an acceptable level of risk within this
asset class. To manage credit risk, credit guidelines have been established.
Investment Grade Bonds
Investment Grade bonds are categorized as a component of the Risk Reduction and Mitigation
functional asset category. The majority of this category is invested in an indexing strategy that
provides exposure to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. LACERA also invests with
managers that employ a low active-risk "core bond" approach. Investment guidelines require that
managers invest predominantly in sectors represented in their benchmark index. As a result, these
portfolios contain almost 100% of bonds rated investment grade by the major credit rating agencies:
Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch.
High Yield Bonds
Dedicated High Yield bond portfolios are categorized in the Credit functional asset category. By
definition, high yield bonds are securities rated below investment grade. Therefore, the majority of
bonds in the high yield portfolios are rated below investment grade by at least one of the major credit
rating agencies: Moody's, S&P, and Fitch.
The credit portfolios allow for the assumption of more credit risk than Investment Grade portfolios by
investing in securities that include unrated bonds, bonds rated below investment grade issued by
corporations undergoing financial stress or distress, junior tranches of structured securities backed
by residential and commercial mortgages, bank loans, illiquid credit, and emerging market debt.
LACERA utilizes specific investment manager guidelines for these portfolios that may include limiting
maximum exposure by issuer, industry, and sector, which result in well-diversified portfolios.

Custodial Credit Risk
LACERA’s contract with its custodian, State Street Bank and Trust (Bank), provides that the Bank
may hold LACERA’s securities in various forms, including: its own name or its agent’s nominee
name, in bearer form, book-entry form, with a clearing house corporation, or with a depository, so
long as the Bank’s records clearly indicate that the securities are held in custody for LACERA’s
account. The Bank may also hold securities in custody in LACERA’s name when required by
LACERA. When held in custody by the Bank, the securities are not at risk of loss in the event of the
Bank’s financial failure, because the securities are not property (assets) of the Bank. Cash invested
overnight in the Bank’s depository accounts is subject to the risk that in the event of the Bank’s
failure, LACERA might not recover all or part of those deposits. This risk is mitigated when the
deposits are insured or collateralized.
LACERA’s contract requires the Bank to provide immediate notice in the event LACERA funds on
deposit are not eligible for and covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
subject to applicable law and FDIC rules and regulations. In addition, the Bank warrants that it will
provide reasonable commercially available insurance, including a financial institution bond that would
cover the loss of money and securities with respect to any and all property the Bank or its agents
hold in or for LACERA's account, up to the amount of the bond. LACERA's compliance procedures
request that the Bank certify to its financial health and provide evidence of insurance coverage.

LACERA Investment Portfolio-Continued
For certain investment strategies, some of LACERA’s assets are invested in investment managers’
pooled vehicles. The securities in these vehicles may be held by custodians other than the Bank.
Counterparty Risk
Counterparty risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to
complete a transaction, LACERA would not be able to recover the value of the investment or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. LACERA and its investment
managers seek to minimize risk of loss from its counterparties by diversifying the number of
counterparties, periodically reviewing their credit quality, and seeking to structure agreements so that
collateral is posted on accrued gains if they reach certain size thresholds.
On March 31, 2024, LACERA sold 17 private equity limited partnership interests on the secondary
market, which were valued at $1.221 billion to three separate buyers. The buyer will remit payments
for these partnership interests to LACERA at the end of an 18-month deferral period on September
30, 2025. To estimate the fair value of these transactions, LACERA discounted the future payments
to net present value utilizing a 5.00% discount rate, which included the current swap rate plus an
appropriate spread, to arrive at the long-term Notes Receivable-Sale of Investments balance of
$1.149 billion. LACERA determined the fair value of these payments applying judgment and
considering factors such as general market conditions and the time value of money. LACERA
contemplated other elements of the transactions, including each buyer's respective risk of default,
which did not impact the fair value for this reporting period.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that can occur when there is a concentration of
exposure to a single or small number of debt issuers versus having exposure to a relatively more
diversified pool of debt issuers. For diversification purposes, all investment grade and liquid credit
portfolios limit the exposure to a single issuer. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Treasury
securities, government-guaranteed debt (including G-7 countries), agency debt, agency mortgage-
backed securities, and approved commingled funds and fund-of-one vehicles.
As of June 30, 2025, LACERA did not hold any investments in any one debt issuer that would
represent 5.00% or more of the Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position. Investments issued or explicitly
guaranteed by the U.S. government and pooled investments are excluded from this requirement.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a fixed income portfolio to changes in
interest rates. It is calculated as the weighted average time to receive a bond’s coupon and principal
payments. The longer the duration of a portfolio, the greater its price sensitivity to changes in
interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment or deposit. LACERA’s investment managers are permitted to invest in approved
countries or regions, as stated in their respective investment manager guidelines. To mitigate foreign
currency risk within global equity, LACERA has implemented a passive currency hedging program,
which hedges into U.S. dollars approximately 50% of LACERA’s foreign currency exposure for
developed market equities.
The following schedules represent LACERA’s exposure to foreign currency risk in U.S. dollars. Most
of the exposure is from separately managed accounts with the remaining exposure from non-U.S.
commingled funds that are denominated in foreign currency. For the commingled funds, LACERA
owns units, and the fund holds actual securities and/or currencies. The values shown include
LACERA’s separately managed account holdings and the pro-rata portion of non-U.S. commingled
fund holdings.

Securities Lending Program
The BOI authorizes LACERA to participate in a securities lending program to generate incremental
income consistent with LACERA's Investment Policy Statement. Under the program, LACERA lends
its securities to qualified market participants such as brokers and dealers ("borrowers"). In return for
lending securities, LACERA receives collateral, either in the form of cash or other securities. When
cash collateral is received, LACERA pays the borrower interest on the cash and invests it with the
goal of earning a higher yield than the interest rate paid to the borrower. When non-cash collateral is
received, the borrower pays a fee for borrowing the securities. At the end of the loan, the borrower
returns the securities and LACERA returns the collateral. In addition, either party to the transaction
can terminate a loan on demand.
Bank is LACERA's custodian and the lending agent for LACERA's securities lending program. The
amount of collateral LACERA receives is based on the market value of the security loaned and
depends on the type of security: 105% of market value for non-U.S. securities and 102% on U.S.
securities are the minimum amounts of collateral received.
State Street Global Advisors invests the cash collateral received from the lending program. The
collateral is invested in short-term highly liquid instruments. Loans are marked-to-market daily, so
that if the fair value of a security on loan rises, LACERA receives additional collateral. Conversely, if
the fair value of a security on loan declines, LACERA returns a portion of the collateral. Earnings
generated in excess of the interest paid to the borrowers represent net investment income to
LACERA.

Securities Lending Program-Continued
Under the terms of the lending agreement, the lending agent provides indemnification against
borrower default. In the event a borrower does not return securities on loan, the terms of the lending
agreement entitle LACERA to terminate the loan and use the collateral to purchase a like amount of
“replacement securities”. In the event the purchase price of replacement securities exceeds the
amount of collateral, the lending agent is liable to LACERA for the difference, plus interest.
At fiscal year-end, LACERA had no credit risk exposure to borrowers, because the amount of
collateral received exceeded the value of securities on loan. LACERA had no losses on securities
lending transactions resulting from the default of a borrower for the year ended June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of securities on loan was $7.359 billion, with a value of cash
collateral received of $2.549 billion, which is included in Other payables on the financial statements,
and non-cash collateral of $5.140 billion. LACERA’s investment income, net of expenses from
securities lending, was $17.96 million for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Hedge Funds
LACERA's Investment Policy Statement establishes the portfolio framework and role of the hedge
funds program. Diversified hedge funds comprise a variety of hedged investments, such as relative
value, arbitrage, and long/short strategies within a diversified portfolio.
The status of LACERA's hedge fund investment program as of June 30, 2025 is as follows:
• In the core hedge funds portfolio, LACERA is invested in ten direct hedge fund managers and
one hedge fund-of-funds manager.
• For the hedge funds emerging manager program, LACERA is invested in a total of nine
hedge fund emerging managers. Stable Asset Management, LACERA's discretionary
separate account manager for the hedge funds emerging manager program, selected one
new emerging manager during FY 2024-2025.
• LACERA continues to maintain one hedge fund-of-funds manager, Grosvenor Capital
Management (GCM). In 2019, LACERA initiated the full redemption of the GCM hedge fund-
of-funds portfolio. This portfolio began returning cash during FY 2019-2020 and will continue
to distribute cash in alignment with the liquidity terms of the portfolio or underlying managers.
The fair values of assets remaining in this portfolio is approximately $9.63 million. GCM is
managing the redemption process of the GCM portfolio.
The investment performance for this strategy is measured separately from other asset classes. The
fair value of assets invested in hedge funds as of June 30, 2025 was $6.497 billion.
The core portfolio, emerging manager portfolio, and GCM hedge fund-of-funds portfolio reside within
Diversified Hedge Funds under the Risk Reduction and Mitigation functional asset category of
LACERA's Total Fund.
Fair Value
LACERA categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the
investment securities and holdings. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels and one additional
category.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant
other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Certain other
investments held by LACERA are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share when an investment
does not have a readily determined fair value, provided that the NAV is calculated and used as a
practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. The table
below illustrates investments classified by their fair value hierarchy (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as well as
investments measured at NAV.

Fair Value-Continued
Equity and Fixed Income Securities
Equity securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in
active markets issued by pricing vendors for these securities.
Fixed income and equity securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using
prices determined by matrix pricing techniques maintained by the various pricing vendors for these
securities. Equity securities classified in Level 2 are not traded in the active market. Matrix pricing is
used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. These
matrix pricing techniques incorporate inputs such as yield, prepayment speeds, and credit spreads
for fixed income securities. Derivative securities classified as Level 2 are securities whose value are
either derived daily from associated securities that are traded, or are determined by using a market
approach that considers benchmark interest rates.
Fixed income and equity securities classified in Level 3 are securities whose stated market price is
unobservable by the marketplace; many of these securities are priced by the issuers or industry
groups for these securities. Fair value is defined as the quoted market value on the last trading day
of the period. These prices are obtained from various pricing sources by the Bank.
Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Real Assets, Real Estate, Equity, and Fixed Income Funds
Investments in hedge funds, private equity, real assets, real estate, equity and fixed income funds
are valued at the estimated net asset value (NAV) based upon the fair value of the underlying
investments, as determined in good faith by the General Partner (GP), in accordance with GAAP fair
value principles in instances where no observable public market values are available. Investments
that are estimated at fair value are initially valued at cost with subsequent adjustments that reflect
third party transactions, financial operating results, and other factors deemed relevant by the GP.
These assets are reported by LACERA based on the practical expedient allowed under GAAP. In
instances where observable public market values are available for the underlying securities held, fair
value is determined by the fund's administrator using independent pricing sources.
Real Estate Separate Account Investments
Real estate investments are valued at NAV, based upon estimated fair value, as determined in good
faith by the Investment Manager. These investments are initially recorded at cost with subsequent
adjustments that reflect third party transactions, financial operating results, market conditions, and
other factors deemed relevant by the Investment Manager. Properties are subject to independent
third party appraisals annually by a qualified appraisal management service provider.

(1) Fixed Income Funds: 27 fixed income funds are valued at the NAV of units held at the end of the period based upon the fair value of
the underlying investments. Approximately 78% of assets are available for redemption within 12 months; these funds provide daily,
monthly, or quarterly liquidity. Approximately 22% of the fund assets have liquidity beyond 12 months.
(2) Hedge Funds: This portfolio consists of 20 current funds and 1 fund-of-funds. Hedge Fund investments are valued at NAV per
share. When considering liquidity terms of the current funds, 70% of the fund assets are available for redemption within 12 months;
these funds provide monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual liquidity. Some of these funds are subject to redemption notices and
audit holdbacks that extend the time frame to receive redemptions beyond the next 12 months. Approximately 30% of fund assets
are in funds that offer periodic liquidity that extends beyond the next 12 months.
LACERA's Hedge Funds portfolio invests in the following strategies:
(a) Macro and Tactical Trading: This strategy makes investments based on analyses and forecasts of macroeconomic trends,
including governmental and central bank policies, fiscal trends, trade imbalances, interest rate trends, inter-country relations,
and economic and technical analysis.
(b) Equity Long/Short: This strategy purchases and/or sells equities based on fundamental and/or quantitative analysis and other
factors.
(c) Credit: This strategy includes long-biased credit, long/short credit, structured credit, and mortgage credit.
(d) Relative Value: This strategy’s focus is to benefit from valuation discrepancies that may be present in related financial
instruments by purchasing and/or shorting these instruments.
(e) Multi-Strategy: This strategy aims to pursue varying strategies to diversify risks and reduce volatility.
(f) Event Driven: This strategy seeks to gain an advantage from pricing inefficiencies that may occur in the onset or aftermath of a
corporate action or related event.
(3) Private Equity, Real Assets, and Real Estate Funds: LACERA’s Private Equity portfolio consists of 291 funds, investing primarily in
buyout funds, with some exposure to venture capital, special situations, fund-of-funds, and co-investments. Due to contractual
limitations, none of the funds are eligible for redemption. The Real Assets portfolio consists of 41 funds, investing primarily in
infrastructure and natural resources. 4 of the funds are eligible for redemption after an initial lock-up period, and the other 37 of the
funds are not eligible for redemption as the lock-up period is typically from 10-15 years. The Real Estate portfolio, composed of 30
commingled funds, invests in both U.S. and Non-U.S. commercial real estate. The fair values of these funds have been determined
using net assets valued at the end of the period and net assets valued one quarter in arrears plus current quarter cash flows. 10 out
of 30 Real Estate funds are eligible for redemption depending upon the availability of cash for redemptions in the fund. Distributions
are received as underlying investments within the funds are liquidated, which on average can occur over the span of 5 to 10 years.
For Real Estate investments held in separate accounts and debt program investments, see Note J - Special Purpose Entities of
LACERA's ACFR.

6. PUBLIC-PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS AND AVAILABILITY AGREEMENTS
GASB 94, “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships (PPPs) and Availability Payment
Arrangements (APAs)" (GASB 94) defines a PPP as an arrangement in which the government (the
transferor) contracts with an operator to provide public services by conveying control of the right to
operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP
asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction type of public-private or
public-public partnership. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession arrangement
(SCA), which the board defines in this statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects and is
compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or
approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to
provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the
transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at
the end of the arrangement. An APA is an arrangement in which a government compensates an
operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or operating
an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
The County determined that golf courses met the criteria set forth in GASB 94 (where the County is
the transferor) and therefore included these SCAs in the County’s financial statements as deferred
inflows of resources. GASB 94 also provides guidance on accounting treatment if the County were
acting as an operator of another government’s facility. The County has determined that there are no
incidences where the County would qualify as an operator.

Continued
Golf Courses
The County manages a public golf course system, which offers affordable greens fees, discount
programs for senior citizens and students, and a junior golf program. Each golf course is leased
under agreement with an operator, which provides for activities such as golf course management,
clubhouse operations, and food and beverage concessions. The operators collect user fees and are
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the golf courses. The operators are required to operate
and maintain the golf courses, and make installment payments to the County, in accordance with
their respective contracts.
As of June 30, 2025, the present value of the installment payments under contract is estimated to be
$80.50 million and reported as deferred inflows of resources in the statement of net position. The
present values of the installment payments were calculated using discount rates of 1.87%, 3.55%,
3.70%, 4.20%, and 5.12% for the term of the agreement for each SCA. The lease terms for the
twelve golf courses cover remaining periods ranging from 2 to 14 years as of June 30, 2025. The FY
2024-2025 total monthly installment payments are approximately $812,000. The County primarily
uses the proceeds to fund parks and recreation operations, 10% of which is set aside for future golf
course capital improvements. The acquisition value of the golf courses, including land, buildings,
and construction in progress, is reported at $22.33 million as of June 30, 2025.
7. PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The County pension plan is administered by LACERA, which was established under the CERL.
LACERA is a cost-sharing, multi-employer defined benefit plan. It provides benefits to employees of
the County and the following additional entities that are not part of the County's reporting entity:
Los Angeles Superior Court
Little Lake Cemetery District
Local Agency Formation Commission
Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE)
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
New employees of LACOE hired on or after July 1971 and new employees of SCAQMD hired after
December 31, 1979 are not eligible for LACERA benefits.
LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report, which is available at its offices located at Gateway
Plaza, 300 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101-4199 or at www.LACERA.com.
Benefits Provided

7. PENSION PLAN-Continued
Benefits Provided-Continued
LACERA provides retirement, disability, death benefits and cost of living adjustments to eligible
members. Vesting occurs when a member accumulates 5 years of creditable service under
contributory plans or accumulates 10 years of creditable service under the general service non-
contributory plan. Benefits are based upon 12 or 36 months' average compensation, depending on
the plan, as well as age at retirement and length of service as of the retirement date, according to
applicable statutory formula. Vested members who terminate employment before retirement age are
considered terminated vested (deferred) members. Service-connected disability benefits may be
granted regardless of length of service consideration. Five years of service are required for
nonservice-connected disability eligibility according to applicable statutory formula. Members of the
non-contributory plan, who are covered under separate long-term disability provisions not
administered by LACERA, are not eligible for disability benefits provided by LACERA.
Contributions
LACERA has nine benefit tiers known as A, B, C, D, E and G, and Safety A, B and C. All tiers except
E are employee contributory. Tier E is employee non-contributory. Prior to December 31, 2012, new
general members were only eligible for tier D or E and new safety members were only eligible for
Safety B. As of January 1, 2013, new general employees are only eligible for tier G and new safety
members are only eligible for Safety C. These new tiers were added as a result of the California
Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and became effective January 1, 2013.
Rates for the tiers are established in accordance with State law by LACERA's Boards of Retirement
and Investments and the County Board.
The following employer rates were in effect for FY 2024-2025:
July 1, 2024 - September 15, 2024 A B C D E G
General Members 31.52% 25.79% 22.45% 24.16% 25.74% 23.96%

Safety Members 33.23% 36.22% 29.84%
The rates were determined by the actuarial valuations performed as of June 30, 2023. The
investment rate of return assumption used in the valuation performed as of June 30, 2023 remained
at 7.00%. The employer contribution rates used in FY 2024-2025, beginning September 16, 2024,
changed from (8.95)% to 0.59% over the rates used in FY 2023-2024 and may change again during
the following fiscal year, with the exception of the Safety Plan A. The most significant factors causing
the changes were changes to the normal cost rate. The rate for Safety Plan A members uses the
normal cost rate for Safety Plan B members because there are no active members remaining in this
plan.
Employee rates vary by option and employee entry age from 6% to 18% of their annual covered
salary.
During FY 2024-2025, the County contributed the full amount of the Actuarial Determined
Contribution, as determined by the actuarial valuations, in the form of semi-monthly cash payments
in the amount of $2.571 billion.

Net Pension Liability, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows
of Resources Related to Pensions
At June 30, 2025, the County reported a liability of $12.983 billion for its proportionate share of the
net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation
as of June 30, 2023, projected forward to the measurement date, taking into account any significant
changes between the valuation date and the measurement date. The County’s proportion of the net
pension liability was based on a projection of the County’s future contribution effort to the pension
plan relative to the projected contributions of all pension plan participants, actuarially determined. At
June 30, 2024, the County’s proportionate share was 96.09%, which was a decrease of (0.20)%
from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2023.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the County recognized negative pension expense of $(25.48)
million which is reported as $(11.40) million for governmental activities and $(14.08) million for
business-type activities. Pension expense represents the change in the net pension liability during
the measurement period, adjusted for actual contributions and the deferred recognition of changes in
investment gain/loss, actuarial gain/loss, actuarial assumptions or methods, and plan benefits. At
June 30, 2025, the County reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions from the following sources (in thousands):

Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources above represent the unamortized
portion of changes to net pension liability to be recognized in future periods in a systematic and
rational manner. Investment gains or losses are recognized in pension expense over a 5 year period
and economic/demographic gains or losses and assumption changes or inputs are recognized over
the average remaining service life for all active and inactive members, which is 7 years as of
June 30, 2024.

Deferred outflows of $2.571 billion related to contributions subsequent to the measurement date will
be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the subsequent fiscal period rather than
the current fiscal period.
As of the measurement date of June 30, 2024, the Pension Plan's fiduciary net position increased
approximately $5.350 billion due to significant increases in the fair value of the Pension Plan's
investments. Overall, the increase in the fiduciary net position and increase in the total pension
liability of $4.244 billion from interest and service costs, resulted in a decrease in net pension liability
from $14.618 billion to $13.512 billion. The County's proportionate share of the Pension Plan's net
pension liability was 96.09% as of June 30, 2024 and is historically above 96%.

Actuarial Assumptions-Continued
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.00%, net of all expenses) was
determined using a building block method in which a median, or expected, geometric rate of return
was developed for each major asset class. The median rates were combined to produce the long-
term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentages.

Long-Term Government Bonds 5.00 % 0.80 %
Cash Equivalents 1.00 % (0.50) %
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. This is equal to the 7.00%
long-term investment return assumption adopted by LACERA (net of investment and administrative
expenses), plus 0.15% assumed administrative expenses. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current
contribution rate, and that County contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between
actuarially determined contribution rates and member rates. Based on those assumptions, the
pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be sufficient to pay all projected future benefit
payments of current active and inactive plan members. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating
the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return, gross of administrative
expenses.

Deferred Compensation Plans
The County offers to its employees three deferred compensation plans created in accordance with
Sections 401 and 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. One or more of these plans are available to
substantially all employees and allow participants to defer a portion of their current income until
future years.
Plan Description and Funding Policy
The Deferred Compensation and Thrift Plan was established as a Section 457 defined
contribution plan covering employees who have achieved full time and permanent employment
status. The plan is designed to permit these employees to voluntarily defer a portion of their
compensation and provide for retirement and death benefits. The plan is funded by employer and
employee contributions. As of June 30, 2025, the County provided up to a 4% matching
contribution per pay period of the employee’s voluntary contribution. Employer and employee
contributions are deposited into the participant accounts and invested based on participant
selected options. Total employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2025, were $340.19
million.
The Savings Plan is a Section 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible full-time
permanent employees of the County not covered by collective bargaining agreements and who
desire to participate in the plan. Employees eligible for voluntary participation in this plan are also
eligible for participation in the Deferred Compensation and Thrift Plan. The plan is funded by
employer and employee contributions. As of June 30, 2025, the County provided up to a 4%
matching contribution per pay period of the employee’s voluntary contribution. Employer and
employee contributions are deposited into the participant accounts and invested based on
participant selected options. Total employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2025, were

The Pension Savings Plan is a Section 457 defined contribution plan covering part-time,
temporary and seasonal County employees who are not eligible to participate in the retirement
programs provided through the LACERA. The plan was established in lieu of employee coverage
under Social Security. Participation in the plan is mandatory and employees must contribute a
minimum of 4.5% of their eligible earnings and the County makes a contribution equal to 3% of
compensation. Participants may contribute additional amounts beyond the required 4.5%. Total
employer contributions for the year ended June 30, 2025, were $11.31 million.
The plans are administered through a third-party administrator. The assets of the plans are held
in trust by Great West Trust Company LLC and invested at the direction of the participants. Thus,
plan assets and any related liability to plan participants have been excluded from the County’s
financial statements.

Retiree Healthcare
Plan Description
LACERA administers an agent multiple-employer Retiree Healthcare (RHC) OPEB program on
behalf of the County, its affiliated Superior Court, and four outside districts. The outside districts
include: Little Lake Cemetery District, Local Agency Formation Commission, LACOE and the South
Coast Air Quality Management District. As of July 1, 2018, LACERA transitioned the OPEB program
from a cost-sharing, multiple-employer plan. The agent plan structure determines program liabilities
and costs directly by employer and allocates shared expenses. The measurement date for the RHC
OPEB program is June 30, 2024.
In April 1982, the County adopted an ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 31691, which
provided for a health insurance program and death benefits for retired employees and their
dependents. In 1994, the County amended the agreements to continue to support LACERA’s retiree
insurance benefits program regardless of the status of active member insurance.
In June 2014, the LACERA Board approved the County’s request to modify the agreements to create
a new retiree healthcare benefit plan in order to lower its Retiree Healthcare Program (RHP) costs.
Structurally, this means the County will be segregating all current retirees and current employees into
RHP Tier 1 and placing all employees hired after June 30, 2014 into RHP Tier 2. Under RHP Tier 2,
retirees who are eligible for Medicare will be required to enroll in that program. In addition, coverage
will be available for employees or eligible survivors only.

Retiree Healthcare-Continued
Plan Description-Continued
Pursuant to the 1982, 1994, and 2014 Agreements between the County and LACERA, the parties
agreed to the continuation of the health insurance benefits then in existence. The County agreed to
subsidize a portion of the insurance premiums of certain retired members and their eligible
dependents based on the member’s length of service. The County further agreed to maintain the
status quo of existing benefits provided to participants. As part of the 2014 Agreement, the County
modified the existing healthcare benefit plan, which created a new benefit structure, Tier 2, for all
employees hired after June 30, 2014. LACERA agreed not to change retired members’ contributions
toward insurance premiums or modify medical benefit levels without the County’s prior consent.
Active employees are not required to make contributions to the plan.
Pursuant to the California Government Code, the County established an irrevocable OPEB Trust for
the purpose of holding and investing assets to pre-fund the RHP, which LACERA administers. On
May 15, 2012, the County Board entered into a trust and investment services agreement with the
LACERA Board of Investments to act as trustee and investment manager. The OPEB Trust does not
modify the County’s benefit programs.
LACERA issues a stand-alone financial report that includes the required information for the OPEB
plan. The report is available at its offices located at Gateway Plaza, 300 North Lake Avenue,
Pasadena, California 91101-4199 or www.LACERA.com.
Benefits Provided
Health care benefits earned by County employees are dependent on the number of completed years
of retirement service credited to the retiree by LACERA upon retirement; it does not include
reciprocal service in another retirement system. Service includes all service on which the member's
retirement allowance was based.
The RHC OPEB Program offers members an extensive choice of medical plans as well as two
dental/vision plans. The medical plans are either HMOs or indemnity plans, and some are designed
to work with Medicare benefits, such as the Medicare Supplement or Medicare HMO plans.
Coverage is available regardless of preexisting medical conditions. Under Tier 2, retirees who are
eligible for Medicare are required to enroll in that program. Medicare-eligible retirees and their
covered dependents must enroll in Medicare Parts A and B and in a Medicare HMO plan or Medicare
Supplement plan under Tier 2.
Medical and Dental/Vision - Program benefits are provided through third party insurance carriers with
the participant’s cost for medical and dental/vision insurance varying according to the years of
retirement service credit with LACERA, the plan selected, and the number of persons covered. The
County contribution subsidizing the participant’s cost starts at 10 years of service credit in the
amount of 40% of the lesser of the benchmark plan rate or the premium of the plan in which the
retiree is enrolled. For each year of retirement service credit earned beyond 10 years, the County
contributes 4% per year, up to a maximum of 100% for a member with 25 years of service credit.
The County contribution can never exceed the premium of the benchmark plans. Members are
responsible for premium amounts above the benchmark plans, including those with 25 or more years
of service credit.

benchmark plans are Anthem Blue Cross Plans I and II for Medicare-ineligible members, Anthem
Blue Cross Plan III for Medicare-eligible members, and Cigna Indemnity Dental/Vision for dental and
vision plans.
Medicare Part B - The County reimburses the member’s Medicare Part B standard rate premiums
paid by member to Social Security for Part B coverage, subject to annual approval by the County
Board of Supervisors. Eligible members and their dependents must be enrolled in both Medicare
Part A and Medicare Part B and enrolled in a LACERA administered Medicare HMO Plan or
Medicare Supplement Plan and meet all of the qualifications. Under Tier 2, the County reimburses
for Medicare Part B (at the standard rate) for eligible members or eligible survivors only.
Disability - If a member is granted a service-connected disability retirement and has less than 13
years of service, the County contributes the lesser of 50% of the benchmark plan rate or the
premium of the plan in which the retiree is enrolled. Under Tier 2, the benchmark plan rate is based
on retiree-only premiums. A member with 13 years of service credit receives a 52% subsidy. This
percentage increases 4% for each additional completed year of service, up to a maximum of 100%.
Death/Burial Benefit - There is a one-time lump-sum $5,000 death/burial benefit payable to the
designated beneficiary upon the death of a retiree, reimbursed to LACERA by the County. Active
and vested terminated (deferred) members are eligible for this benefit once they retire. Spouses and

Money-Weighted Rate of Return
As of the measurement date, June 30, 2024, the annual money-weighted rate of return on OPEB
Trust investments, net of OPEB Trust investment expense, was 6.25%. The money-weighted rate of
return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing
amounts actually invested. For the measurement date of June 30, 2023, the annual money-
weighted rate of return was 6.00%.
Discount Rate
GAAP requires determination of whether the OPEB Trust’s Fiduciary Net Position is projected to be
sufficient to make projected benefit payments. The Plan’s fiduciary net position was not projected to
be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees.
Therefore, the discount rate incorporates a municipal bond rate based on the 20-year Bond Buyer
GO index (municipal bond rate) which was 3.93% as of June 30, 2024. For 2024, the long-term
expected rate of return of 6.25% was applied to projected benefit payments from 2024 to 2064. The
municipal bond rate was applied to the remaining periods. The resultant blended discount rate used
to measure the Total OPEB Liability as of June 30, 2024 was 5.36%, an increase of 0.32% from the
rate as of June 30, 2023.

Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed Bonds
In 2006, the County entered into a Sale Agreement with the LACSC under which the County
relinquishes to the LACSC a portion of its future tobacco settlement revenues (TSRs) for the next 40
years. The County received from the sold TSRs a lump sum payment of $319.83 million and a
residual certificate in exchange for the rights to receive and retain 25.90% of the County’s TSRs
through 2046. The residual certificate represented the County’s ownership interest in excess TSRs
to be received by the LACSC during the term of the Sale Agreement. Residuals through 2025 were
$131.51 million. The total TSRs sold, based on the projected payment schedule in the Master
Settlement Agreement and adjusted for historical trends, was estimated to be $1.438 billion. The
estimated present value of the TSRs sold, net of the expected residuals and assuming a 5.70%
interest rate at the time of the sale, was $309.23 million. In the event of a decline in the tobacco
settlement revenues for any reason, including the default or bankruptcy of a participating cigarette
manufacturer, resulting in a decline in the tobacco settlement revenues and possible default on the
Tobacco Bonds, neither the California County Tobacco Securitization Agency, the County, nor the
LACSC has any liability to make up any such shortfall.

lease revenue and by Los Angeles County Music Center parking revenues. The loan contract
contains a provision that in the event the County fails to make payment due, all principal and interest
outstanding shall become immediately due and payable, and the deficiency will be added to, and
become part of, the principal of the loan. As of June 30, 2025, the balance is $5.54 million for

Drinking Water State Revolving loans in the amount of $3.41 million and $5.47 million from the
California Department of Public Health to fund the Sepulveda Feeder Interconnection project
(Malibu) and the Marina del Rey Waterline Replacement project (Marina), respectively. The loans
will be repaid over 20 years and are secured by revenues from surcharges collected for capital
improvements. Annual principal and interest payments of the loans are expected to require less than
46.73% of the annual surcharge revenues. The funding agreements contain a provision that in an
event of default, obligations may be immediately due and payable, and further disbursements may
be terminated. As of June 30, 2025, total loans drawn are $3.40 million on the Sepulveda Feeder
Interconnection project and $5.47 million on the Marina del Rey Waterline Replacement project. As

Aeronautics Program for $2.00 million with an annual interest rate of 2.95%. The Airport
Development Loan will be repaid over 17 years with revenue generated by lease payment income.
The loan agreement contains a provision that if the County fails to comply with or perform any term
or condition in the agreement, or fails to pay the annual loan payment, the entire outstanding
principal amount of the loan and all accrued interest may be immediately due and payable. In
addition, the County may be ineligible for future financing under the program. During FY 2024-2025,
the County did not obtain any additional airport development loans. As of June 30, 2025, the

improvements. Annual principal and interest payments of the loans are expected to require
approximately 36% of the annual surcharge revenues. The funding agreement contains a provision
that in an event of default, obligations may be immediately due and payable, and further

LRON provide the County with a flexible and cost-effective source of financing to provide interim
funding during the initial construction phase of a capital project and fund tenant improvements cost
on certain leases, which may be refinanced with the issuance of long-term bonds upon completion.
Repayment of LRON is secured by four irrevocable direct-pay letters of credit (LOC) from separate
banks supporting the issuance of LRON. This program is secured by fifteen County-owned
properties pledged as collateral in a lease-revenue financing structure with LACCAL.
On July 1, 2024, four LOC and Reimbursement Agreements were entered into between LACCAL
and four separate banks to replace the four LOC and Reimbursement Agreements that had an
original termination date of April 30, 2024, and were extended to July 18, 2024. The LOCs were
issued for a five-year period with the an initial expiration date of July 31, 2029. The County has the
option to extend the LOCs for an additional one-year period or to some other term mutually agreed to
with the participating banks.
The aggregate maximum principal amount of the four LOCs is $750.00 million, which consists of
$200.00 million of Series A (Bank of Montreal), $100.00 million of Series B (U.S. Bank), $350.00
million of Series C (Bank of America), and $100.00 million of Series D (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking
Corporation). The County is responsible for the payment of a non-refundable letter of credit fee for
each LOC on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to the rate per annum corresponding to the lowest
long-term unenhanced debt ratings assigned by any of Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch to any Lease
Obligation Debt of the County. The letter of credit fee for all four series of LOCs is equal to 0.35% to
0.42% of the maximum principal amount of the LOC. As of June 30, 2025, $594.59 million of LRON
issued under the program were outstanding, including $98.18 million of Series A, $90.39 million of
Series B, $311.02 million of Series C, and $95.00 million of Series D.
LRON are issued as variable rate instruments with a maximum term not to exceed 270 days. On the
maturity date of LRON, the notes are reissued at the prevailing interest rates in the note market,
which reflects the term of the note and the perceived credit quality of the supporting letter of credit
bank. In the event the notes are not able to be reissued in the note market, the bank will make a
Principal Advance to pay the principal of the maturing note. If the Principal Advance remains
outstanding longer than 90 days, a term loan is created to repay the bank.
During FY 2024-2025, the County reissued $205.59 million for governmental activities and $254.39
million for business-type activities, representing the total amounts outstanding at the beginning of the
year. These reissues, along with new County LRON of $164.93 million for governmental activities
and $71.50 million for business-type activities, totaling $236.43 million, and redemptions of $16.57
million for governmental activities and $85.25 million for business-type activities, totaling $101.82
million, are reflected as notes payable. The total outstanding LRON as of June 30, 2025 is $594.59
million, which is reported as $353.95 million for governmental activities and $240.64 million for
business-type activities. The average interest rate on CP Notes issued in FY 2024-2025 was 2.95%.

Current Refunding of Debt
On September 5, 2024, the County issued $569.27 million of Lease Revenue Bonds, 2024 Series H,
of which $110.07 million was for a current refunding of the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds
(Multiple Capital Projects), 2015 Series A. These bonds, maturing on various dates between 2024
and 2044, with an effective interest rate of 3.47%, were issued to refund the outstanding principal
amount of $130.08 million of bonds for governmental activities. The effective interest rate of the
refunded bonds, issued in 2015, was 2.76%.
Proceeds from the sale of the bonds were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to
provide for the prepayment of debt service payments on the refunding bonds. Accordingly, the
refunded bonds were considered to be defeased and the liabilities for those bonds were removed
from the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position – Governmental Activities. Specific
disclosures related to the refunding issue are as follows (in thousands):

Net present value savings (economic gain) $ 19,052
For the refunding transaction, the net carrying amount of the refunded debt of $153.37 million was
more than the reacquisition price of $131.68 million. The difference of $21.69 million was for
governmental activities and is reported as a deferred inflow of resources to be amortized over the life
of the related debt.

Bonds Defeased in Prior Years
In prior years, various debt obligations, including bonds, were defeased by placing the proceeds of
refunding bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old
obligations. Debt should also be considered defeased when cash and other monetary assets
acquired with only existing resources are placed in an irrevocable trust to extinguish debt.
Accordingly, the trust account assets and the related debt service payments for the defeased bonds
would not be reflected in the County’s financial statements. At June 30, 2025, there were no

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
12. SHORT-TERM DEBT
On July 1, 2024, the County issued $700.00 million of short-term Tax and Revenue Anticipation
Notes at an effective interest rate of 3.25%. The proceeds of the notes were used to assist with
County General Fund cash flow needs prior to the first major apportionment of property taxes, which
occurred in December 2024. The notes matured and were redeemed on June 30, 2025.
13. CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Community Facilities and Improvement District Bonds
As of June 30, 2025, various community facilities and improvement districts established by the
County had outstanding special tax bonds payable totaling $88.04 million and limited obligation
improvement bonds totaling $310 thousand. The bonds were issued to finance the cost of various
construction activities and infrastructure improvements, which have a regional or direct benefit to the
related property owners.
The bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the County and are payable solely from special
taxes and benefit assessments collected from property owners within the districts. In the opinion of
County officials, these bonds are not payable from any revenues or assets of the County and neither
the full faith and credit of the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof is obligated to the
payment of the principal or interest on the bonds. The County has limited commitments for these
bonds. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying basic financial statements.
The County functions as an agent for the districts and bondholders. Debt service transactions
related to the various bond issues are reported in the custodial funds. Construction activities are
reported in the Improvement Districts' Capital Projects Fund.
Industrial Development and Other Conduit Bonds
Industrial development bonds, and other conduit bonds, have been issued to provide financial
assistance to private sector entities and nonprofit corporations for the acquisition of industrial and
health care facilities, which provide a public benefit. The bonds are secured by the facilities acquired
and/or bank letter of credit and are payable solely from project revenue or other pledged funds. The
County is not obligated in any manner for the repayment of the bonds. All industrial development
bonds were paid during the year and no amount was outstanding as of June 30, 2025.
Redevelopment Refunding Bonds
The County of Los Angeles Redevelopment Refunding Authority, a JPA between the County and the
Los Angeles County Public Works Financing Authority, was established to issue bonds that would
enable successor agencies to former redevelopment agencies within the County to refund their
outstanding tax allocation bonds in order to achieve debt service savings and to provide significant
economies of scale through reduced costs of issuance and lower interest rates. The bonds are
secured by a lien on future tax revenues of successor agencies. The County is not obligated in any
manner for the repayment of the bonds. The County has limited commitment for these bonds.
Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying basic financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount of redevelopment refunding bonds outstanding was $312.28
million.

14. HOSPITAL AND OTHER PROGRAM REVENUES
Net patient service revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients,
third party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments
under reimbursement agreements with third party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on
an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods, as
final settlements are determined.
Additional information regarding categories of net patient service revenue and material adjustments
to the calculation are included below for reference.
California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal
Some reported net patient services revenues are authorized pursuant to the State's California
Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Section 1115 demonstration and CalAIM Section
1915(b) waiver, which are effective through December 31, 2026.
CalAIM revenue programs include (among other sources):
1. Global Payment Program (GPP)
2. Community Support (CS)
CalAIM revenues are depicted below, consistent with historical reporting to facilitate year-to-year
comparisons.
Global Payment Program
The Global Payment Program (GPP) is a payment reform program that aims to change the way
Public Hospital Systems (PHS) in California are compensated for providing care to the remaining
uninsured. The program encourages a shift away from cost-based, hospital-centric models of
care, through financial incentives to provide cost-effective primary and specialty care.
Aggregate GPP funding is comprised of (a) Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) funds that
otherwise would have been allotted to the PHS, and (b) Safety Net Uncompensated Care Pool
(SNCP) funds. DSH is a federal program to support safety-net hospitals that care for a
disproportionate share of low-income patients. SNCP was established under California's 2005
waiver to support services provided to uninsured patients. Under the GPP, each participant PHS
can earn a global budget for meeting a service threshold for individuals who are uninsured.
Points toward this threshold are assigned to services in the following categories:
• Traditional Outpatient (e.g., primary or specialty care visit, dental, ER/urgent care, mental
health visit).
• Non-Traditional Outpatient (e.g., health coaching, care navigation, community wellness
encounters).
• Technology-Based Outpatient (e.g., nurse advice line, email consultation, provider-to-provider
eConsult for specialty care).
• Inpatient and Facility Stays (e.g., trauma care, intensive care unit stays, recuperative care,
respite care, sober center stays, skilled nursing facility stays).

California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal-Continued
Global Payment Program-Continued
The County provides funding for the State of California's (State) share of the program by using
"intergovernmental transfers" (IGTs) to draw down federal matching funds.
The estimated GPP revenues and related IGTs recorded for the medical centers in FY 2024-2025
are as follows (in thousands):
GPP Intergovernmental
Revenues Transfers Expense
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $ 139,087 $ 78,675
Olive View-UCLA Medical Center 143,453 72,657
Los Angeles General Medical Center 295,920 158,455
Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab Center 106,696 52,666
Total $ 685,156 $ 362,453
The estimated GPP for General Fund is $548.42 million for services at the Ambulatory Care
Network with $310.48 million of related estimated IGTs, which were recorded as “Charges for
Services” revenue and "Health and Sanitation" expenditures, respectively, on the governmental
funds statement.
The estimated GPP revenue reflects Department of Health Services (DHS) receiving payments
equal to approximately 75% of its threshold. A number of factors make GPP revenue uncertain.
For example, calculation of the threshold and payments may be impacted by implementation of
federal reductions in the State's DSH allotment, a portion of which may impact GPP revenue for
Calendar Year 2025, including payments within the last six months of FY 2024-2025. DHS' ability
to achieve the threshold also depends on the ability to identify the number and type of services
furnished. Anticipated GPP payments may also be impacted by changes in federal policy.
Community Supports
Under CalAIM, Medi-Cal managed care plans may choose to reimburse certain CS, which are
non-traditional benefits that address complex barriers to health and drivers of health care costs,
such as homelessness, unstable or unsafe housing, and food insecurity. DHS has contracted with
six Medi-Cal managed care plans to launch and offer the following CS services as of January
2022: recuperative care, housing navigation, tenancy sustaining services, personal care, and
housing deposit assistance.
The General Fund recorded an estimated $57.76 million for CS, which were recorded as
"Charges for Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. This estimate includes
offsets to reflect estimated adjustments and reconciliations that are part of ongoing conversations
with the contract health plans.

Medicaid Coverage Expansion (MCE) - Historical Payments
On September 1, 2023, the County received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the United
States Department of Justice ("DOJ"). The demand seeks records and information related to
managed care and the expansion of Medicaid to adult expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
The County is cooperating with the investigation and has made rolling productions of documents
responsive to the CID, with the latest production in April 2024. DOJ's last contact to the County
about this matter occurred in May 2024. No changes have been raised in connection with the CID
and, as a result, any potential liabilities are too speculative to reasonably estimate at this time.

Historic Medi-Cal Program Adjustments-Continued
CMS Audits of State Medi-Cal Payment Programs
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are currently working with the
State DHCS to determine whether historical claims for federal Medi-Cal funding were
appropriately supported, including to determine whether federal funds were appropriately claimed
for individuals with unsatisfactory immigration status. While these reviews are ongoing, they may
potentially impact Medi-Cal payment programs that affect DHS historical revenues, particularly for
programs where DHS provides the non-federal share. Programs within the scope of the review
include, but may not be limited to: SB 1732, Medi-Cal managed care Graduate Medical Education
(GME), physician and non-physician fee-for-service payments, Medi-Cal outpatient hospital fee-
for-service payments.
Other Medi-Cal Programs
Cost Based Reimbursement Clinics
Cost Based Reimbursement Clinics (CBRC) reimburse 100% of allowable costs for outpatient
services provided to Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries at the County's hospital-based
clinics, outpatient centers and Ambulatory Care Network health centers (excluding clinics that
provide predominately public health services). In FY 2024-2025, CBRC revenues were $109.96
million for the enterprise funds and were recorded as net patient services revenue.
As of June 30, 2025, the County estimated that approximately $8.76 million of CBRC accounts
receivable would not be collectible within 12 months and this amount is classified as a noncurrent
asset in the enterprise fund statements of net position for each hospital.
The General Fund received $73.09 million for CBRC, which was recorded as "Charges for
Services" revenue on the governmental funds statement. As of June 30, 2025, the County
estimated that approximately $27.34 million of CBRC accounts receivable would not be collectible
within 12 months.
Medi-Cal Cost Report Settlements
In FY 2024-2025, the County recognized final inpatient hospital FFS settlements of $18.71 million
related to both the FY 2014-2015 and FY 2015-2016. In addition, the County received CBRC
audit settlements of $13.93 million related to FY 2020-2021, FY2021-2022, and FY 2022-2023.
The County’s appeal of certain CBRC audit adjustments at various levels to the Office of
Administrative Appeals have been favorably resolved resulting in $1.59 million of final settlement
revenues.
The State is in the process of auditing the FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 non-hospital CBRC
and FY 2023-2024 hospital cost reports. Settlements are expected by the 4th quarter of FY
2025-2026.

Rate Range - Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Supplements
Each year, the County contracts with its managed care plans (LA Care and Health Net) to receive
supplemental funding to the extent that the plans receive from the State increases to the
capitation payments that are funded by County IGTs. The State is obtaining CMS' approval for
the increased capitation payments for the Rate Range - Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate
Supplements (MCRS) paid to LA Care, Health Net, and Kaiser Permanente Health Plans for
calendar year 2025, and the County will seek to renew its contracts with the plans.
In connection with the payment of the IGTs, the County is required by Welfare and Institutions
Code Section 14301.4, to pay the State a 20% administrative fee that is assessed on the IGTs
related to the non-Medical Coverage Expansion population. This amount is also recorded as part
of the IGT.
The total estimated managed care rate supplement revenues and related estimated IGTs
recorded in FY 2024-2025, including prior year over/under realization, are as follows (in

Enhanced Payment Program
The Enhanced Payment Program (EPP) is a state-directed payment program designed to
supplement the base rates public health care systems receive through Medi-Cal managed care
contracts.
The mechanism for delivering EPP payments to public health care systems depends largely on
those systems’ existing payment arrangements with their managed care plans. Under the
currently approved structure, health plans receive an add-on to their managed care rates and
provide interim payments to providers throughout the year. Payments are reconciled at the end of
the year.

revenue depends on a variety of factors, including performance on identified measures and data
reporting. Anticipated QIP payments may also be impacted by changes in federal policy.
Medicare Program
The DHS hospitals participate in the federal Medicare program, under which inpatient hospital
services are reimbursed under the Prospective Payment System (PPS) based on diagnosis-related
groups (DRGs), outpatient services are reimbursed under the Outpatient Prospective Payment
System (OPPS), and other services such as therapy and ancillary services are reimbursed under
established fee schedules. Hospital-based physician services, along with supplemental payments
for GME and the DSH adjustment, are determined and settled through the annual Medicare cost
report process.
Revenues are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment. Estimated settlements are accrued, or
liabilities established, in the year services are rendered and revised in future periods as final
determinations are made.
Audit and Settlement Status
Medicare cost reports are filed annually for each DHS hospital. As of June 30, 2025, audits by the
Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for various prior years have been completed. A total of 69
Notices of Program Reimbursement (NPRs), including revised NPRs (RNPRs), have been issued
resulting in $48.59 million in net patient service revenue.
The large volume of NPRs and RNPRs issued in FY 2024-2025 reflects re-openings required under
CMS Change Request 13294, which directed MACs to adjust the treatment of Medicare Part C days
in the DSH calculation for cost reporting periods prior to October 1, 2013 (using a 2013 or earlier
Supplemental Security Income ratio). CMS also issued related guidance to resolve long-standing
DSH calculation issues, leading to multiple settlements for older cost report years. Related appeals
remain pending before the Provider Reimbursement Review Board (PRRB) and in federal courts.
LA General Medical Center: NPRs and RNPRs, including Tentative Settlements, were issued for
FYs 1998-1999 through 2010-2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, resulting in $33.22 million net

and formula by which a portion of the 1991 County Health Realignment funds will be redirected away
from the County to the State. AB85, as amended, provides a unique formula for the County to
determine the amount to be redirected.
In FY 2024-2025, the State did not withhold any of the County's Health Realignment funds. This
amount is expected to be reconciled against actual revenues and expenses for FY 2024-2025 within
two years. The redirection amount will be subject to the State's review and approval. The financial
impact of the potential redirection of realignment funding in future years is not yet known.
In FY 2023-2024, the State did not withhold any of the County's Health Realignment funds. Based
on updated revenues realized for FY 2023-2024 services in FY 2024-2025, the projected redirection

Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital
The County and the University of California (UC), with the State, created a wholly independent, non-
profit 501(c)(3) entity, the Martin Luther King, Jr. - Los Angeles Healthcare Corporation (MLK-LA), to
operate a hospital at the MLK-MACC site. As originally conceived, the hospital would: i) serve as a
safety-net provider treating a high volume of Medi-Cal and uninsured patients and ii) be integrated
with the County's existing network of specialty and primary care ambulatory clinics. The seven-
member MLK Hospital Board of Directors was appointed by the County and UC in August 2010. The
MLK Community Hospital opened on May 14, 2015.
To assist with the opening of the MLK Hospital, the County provided MLK-LA with $50.00 million of
coordination start-up funds, $39.10 million of grant funding, and $82.00 million of long-term loan
funding, which includes a 30-year loan in the amount of $50.00 million, a 10-year revolving line of

statements, except for “internal balances” that are reflected between the governmental and
business-type activities. The majority of the interfund balances resulted from the time lag between
the time that (1) goods and services were provided; (2) the recording of those transactions in the
accounting system; and (3) payments between the funds were made. Interfund receivables and
payables have been recorded in the fund financial statements. Such amounts arise due to the
exchange of goods or services (or subsidy transfers) between funds that were pending the transfer
of cash as of June 30, 2025.

Interfund Transfers
Transfers were made during the year from the General Fund to subsidize the operations of the LA
County Library and the four hospitals. Other transfers primarily consisted of payments from the
various operating funds (principally the General Fund) to debt service funds in accordance with long-
term debt covenants. In addition, special revenue funds that are statutorily restricted made transfers
to other funds to augment funding for programs operated in the General Fund and hospitals.

16. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING DIFFERENCES/RECONCILIATIONS BETWEEN THE BUDGETARY
BASIS AND GAAP
The County’s statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances-budget and actual
on budgetary basis for the major governmental funds has been prepared on the budgetary basis of
accounting, which is different from GAAP.
The amounts presented for the governmental funds statements are based on the modified accrual
basis of accounting and differ from the amounts presented on a budgetary basis of accounting. The
major areas of difference are as follows:
– For budgetary purposes, nonspendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balances
and the portion of unassigned fund balance reserved for the “Rainy Day” fund are
recorded as other financing uses at the time they are established. The County recognizes
them as uses of budgetary fund balance. The nonspendable, restricted, committed and
assigned fund balances that are subsequently canceled or otherwise made available are
recorded as changes in fund balance in other financing sources.
– Under the budgetary basis, revenues (primarily intergovernmental) are recognized at the
time encumbrances are established for certain programs and capital improvements. The
intent of the budgetary policy is to match the use of budgetary resources (for amounts
encumbered, but not yet expended) with funding sources that will materialize as revenues
when actual expenditures are incurred. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are
not recognized until the qualifying expenditures are incurred and amounts are collected
within the County’s availability period.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
16. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING DIFFERENCES/RECONCILIATIONS BETWEEN THE BUDGETARY
BASIS AND GAAP-Continued
– For the General Fund, obligations for compensated absences and estimated liabilities for
litigation and self-insurance are recorded as budgetary expenditures to the extent that they
are estimated to be payable within one year after year-end. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, such expenditures are not recognized until they become due and
payable in accordance with GASB Interpretation 6.
– In conjunction with the sale of Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed bonds in FY 2005-2006,
the County sold 25.9% of its future tobacco settlement revenues. Under the budgetary
basis, the proceeds were recognized as revenues. Under the modified accrual basis, the
proceeds were recorded as deferred inflows of resources and are being recognized over
the duration of the sale agreement, in accordance with GASB 48 and 65. This matter is
also discussed in Note 11, under the caption, “Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed Bonds.”
– Under the budgetary basis, property tax revenues are recognized to the extent that they
are collectible within one year after year-end. Under the modified accrual basis, property
tax revenues are recognized only to the extent that they are collectible within 60 days.
– For budgetary purposes, investment income is recognized prior to the effect of changes in
the fair value of investments. Under the modified accrual basis, the effects of such fair
value changes have been recognized.
– The County determined that certain assets were held by LACERA (the OPEB
administrator) in an OPEB Custodial Fund. For budgetary purposes, any excess payments
(beyond the pay-as-you-go amount) are recognized as expenditures. Under the modified
accrual basis, the expenditures are adjusted to recognize the OPEB Custodial assets at
June 30, 2025.

17. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES-Continued
Encumbrances
The County uses “encumbrances” to control expenditure commitments for the year. Encumbrances
represent commitments related to executory contracts not yet performed and purchase orders not
yet filled. Commitments for such expenditure of monies are encumbered to reserve applicable
appropriations. As of June 30, 2025, the encumbrance balances for the governmental funds (in
thousands) are reported as follows:
General Fund $ 1,237,208
Fire Protection District 51,017
Flood Control District 74,492
LA County Library 29,188
Regional Park and Open Space District 113,415
Nonmajor Governmental Funds 270,857
Total Encumbrances $ 1,776,177
Contingent Gain - Opioid Settlement
During FY 2020-2021, the State of California and its political subdivisions participated in obtaining
final settlement agreements and judgments against multiple companies to resolve legal claims
related to the companies’ role in the opioid crisis. Currently, California's allocation is approximately
9.92% of the national settlement funds. The State of California Department of Health Care Services
(DHCS) oversees and administers the National Opioid Settlement funds that are received as follows:
15 percent allocated to the State of California and used for future opioid remediation activities, 70
percent allocated to the Participating Subdivisions (i.e., counties and cities) and used for opioid
remediation activities, and 15 percent allocated to the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial
Participating Subdivisions (which includes the County). The County will also receive a portion of the
Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy funds (NOAT II) as determined by the Mallinckrodt Statewide Abatement
Agreement. California elected to distribute the majority of NOAT II funds to cities and counties for
opioid remediation activities at the local level. Cities and counties (otherwise known as Local
Governments) will receive funding from the trust annually for up to eight years.
The DHCS will also oversee all activities funded by the settlements including, but not limited to,
designating additional high-impact abatement activities, conducting related stakeholder engagement,
monitoring the California participating subdivisions for compliance, and preparing annual reports.
Future opioid litigation may result in additional settlement agreements or judgments, or suspension
and reduction of payments, and each agreement or judgment may have unique terms governing
payment timing and duration. The County reported opioid settlement revenues of $92.83 million in
FY 2024-2025 under the nonmajor health and sanitation funds, as reflected in the government-wide
governmental activities and governmental fund statements. Because of the uncertainty of future
revenues to be received from the State, no receivable has been established for the opioid
settlements.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

17. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES-Continued
Contingent Gain - Wildfire Recovery
In January 2025, LA County experienced a windstorm and wildfire event that destroyed homes and
businesses in the Eaton and Palisades areas. The State passed Assembly Bill 100 that provided
relief to the County in the form of funding for unmet response and recovery needs and funding for
property tax revenue losses occurring in FY 2024-2025 and FY 2025-2026. The County reported
revenue of $110.07 million under Intergovernmental revenue - State in FY 2024-2025 as reflected in
the government-wide governmental activities and governmental fund statements. The property tax
revenue losses are estimated to be $121.50 million but were not recorded in the financial
statements.
18. RISK MANAGEMENT
The County purchases insurance for certain risk exposures such as property, aviation, employee
fidelity, boiler and machinery, cyber, catastrophic workers’ compensation, art objects, volunteers,
special events, public official bonds, crime, safety reserve employee death and disability, and
fiduciary liability for the deferred compensation plans. There have been settlements related to these
programs that exceeded self-insured retention in the last three years. Losses did not exceed
coverage in FY 2022-2023, FY 2023-2024 or FY 2024-2025.
The County retains the risk for all other loss exposures. Major areas of risk include workers'
compensation, medical malpractice, law enforcement, natural disasters, inverse condemnation, non-
tort and tort liability. Expenditures are accounted for in the fund whose operations resulted in the
loss. Claims expenditures and liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has been
incurred and the amount of that loss, including those incurred but not reported, can be reasonably
estimated. The County utilizes actuarial studies, historical data, and individual claims reviews to
estimate these liabilities. The liabilities include estimable incremental claim adjustment expenses, net
of salvage, and recovery/subrogation of approximately 10% of the total liability expenditures. They
do not include other claim adjustment costs because the County does not believe it is practical or
cost effective to estimate them.
As indicated in the following table, the County’s workers’ compensation balance as of June 30, 2025
was approximately $3.925 billion. This amount is undiscounted and is based on an actuarial study of
the County’s self-insured program as of June 30, 2025. Approximately $187.66 million of the total
liabilities pertain to salary continuation payments and other related costs mandated by the State
Labor Code.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
18. RISK MANAGEMENT-Continued
As of June 30, 2025, the County's estimate of these liabilities is $9.231 billion. Changes in the
reported liability since July 1, 2024 resulted from the following (in thousands):
Current Year
Beginning of Claims and Balance At
Fiscal Year Changes In Claim Fiscal Year-
Liability Estimates Payments End
2023-2024
Workers’ Compensation $ 3,504,233 904,569 (717,947) $ 3,690,855
Other 3,766,213 732,725 (142,447) 4,356,491
Total $ 7,270,446 1,637,294 (860,394) $ 8,047,346

Total $ 8,047,346 2,071,059 (887,790) $ 9,230,615
In addition to the above estimated liabilities, the County has determined that claims seeking
damages of approximately $2.482 billion are reasonably possible of creating adverse judgments
against the County. Because of the uncertainty of their outcome, no loss has been accrued for these
claims.
The County receives substantial federal revenues and operates many programs which are subject to
federal rules and regulations. Federal assistance is especially critical to the County's ability to
operate its four County hospitals and health care network. The County is carefully monitoring State
and federal policy developments to determine the future impacts, if any, on its ability to administer
federal programs and deliver County services that rely upon federal funding.
19. POLLUTION REMEDIATION
The County is involved in several remediation actions to clean up pollution sites within its
boundaries. These matters generally coincide with the County’s ownership of land, buildings and
infrastructure assets. In some cases, regulatory agencies (e.g., Regional Water Quality Board, State
Department of Toxic Control, California Coastal Commission) notified the County of the need for
remedial action. In addition, the County conducts its own environmental monitoring and this activity
identifies pollution sites and matters requiring further investigation and possible remediation. Once
the County is aware of these conditions, it commences monitoring, assessment, testing and/or
cleanup activities, and recognizes a pollution remediation obligation when estimates can reasonably
be determined. The pollution remediation obligation is an estimate and is subject to revision
because of price increases or reductions, changes in technology, or changes in applicable laws or
regulations. The types of pollution that have been identified include leaking underground storage
tanks, water, groundwater and soil contamination, asbestos and lead paint contamination, methane
gas detection and excessive levels of other contaminants. Remediation efforts include developing
remediation and feasibility studies, source identification studies, site testing, sampling and analysis,
ground water cleanup, and removal of storage tanks, asbestos tiles and other hazardous materials.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
19. POLLUTION REMEDIATION-Continued
As of June 30, 2025, the County’s estimated pollution remediation obligation totaled $53.88 million.
This obligation was associated with the County's governmental activities. Obligations of enterprise
and internal service funds were immaterial. The estimated liability was determined by project
managers, based on historical cost information for projects of the same type, size and complexity
and measured at their current value. In subsequent periods, the County will adjust the estimated
obligation when new information indicates that such changes are required. At this time, the County
has determined there are no estimated recoveries reducing the obligation.
20. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
Deferred outflows and inflows of resources balances in the government-wide and the proprietary
funds statement of net position as of June 30, 2025 are described as follows:
– The deferred outflows of resources, included on the government-wide statement of net position,
relate to the unamortized losses on refunding of debt, changes in the net pension liability as
discussed in Note 7, and changes in the net OPEB liability as discussed in Note 8. The
unamortized losses on refunding of debt are a deferred charge on refunding resulting from the
difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is
deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt,
whichever is shorter.
– The deferred inflows of resources, included on the government-wide statement of net position,
relate to the future installment payments of public-private and public-public partnerships as
discussed in Note 6, from changes in the lease receivable as discussed in Note 9, from changes
in the net pension liability as discussed in Note 7, and from changes in the net OPEB liability as
discussed in Note 8.

Deferred outflows and inflows of resources balances in the governmental funds balance sheet as of
June 30, 2025 are described as follows:
– The intra-entity sales of future tobacco settlement revenues are reported as deferred inflows of
resources in the General Fund and deferred outflows of resources in the nonmajor governmental
funds.
– Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, earning revenues during the current period is not
sufficient for revenue recognition in the current period. Revenue must also be susceptible to
accrual (i.e., measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period).
Governmental funds report revenues that are not available as deferred inflows of resources. The
County has included three such items, which are property tax revenues to be collected beyond
the 60 day accrual period, lease receivables measured at the present value or expected to be
received during the lease term in a future period, plus other long-term receivables, related mostly
to SB90 claims, expected to be collected beyond the 12 month accrual period.

Reserve for “Rainy Day” Fund
On June 22, 2009, the Board established a Reserve for “Rainy Day” fund. The Reserve for “Rainy
Day” fund was established and maintained to protect essential County programs against unforeseen
emergencies and economic downturns. On May 3, 2022, the Board adopted an updated "Rainy
Day" Fund amount of 17.00% of on-going locally generated revenue from the previous 10.00%
amount. Transfers, at a minimum of ten percent (10.00%) of excess fund balance, less Board
approved carryovers, will be set aside in the "Rainy Day" Fund each year until the 17.00% cap is
met. Excess fund balance is defined as the difference between the actual year-end fund balance
amount as determined by the Auditor-Controller, less the estimated fund balance amount included in
the Adopted Budget. Board approved carryover is defined as unspent funding that was previously
approved by the Board for critical programs and/or uncompleted projects.
Seventeen percent (17.00%) of the new ongoing discretionary revenues should be set aside
annually, during the budget process as a hedge against any unforeseen fiscal issues during the year.
At year-end, these funds will be transferred to the Rainy Day fund.
The County’s “Rainy Day” fund does not meet the criteria for a stabilization arrangement for reporting
the funds as either restricted or committed. As such, the Reserve for “Rainy Day” funds in the
amount of $1.077 billion is reported as unassigned fund balance in the General Fund.

22. CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)
On March 13, 2020, a presidential emergency was declared for all states, tribes, territories, and the
District of Columbia due to the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The
declaration made federal disaster assistance available; through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act to the County and to the State of California to supplement the
County’s local recovery efforts. To assist in the efforts to respond to COVID-19, the County received
significant fiscal stimulus in federal funds. The significant outstanding funding is described below.
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 Coronavirus State and Local Government Fiscal
Recovery Funds (Fiscal Recovery Funds) continues many of the programs started by the CARES Act
(2020) and Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021) by adding new phases, new allocations, and new
guidance to address issues related to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP also
creates a variety of new programs to address continuing pandemic-related crises, and fund recovery
efforts as the United States begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. The ARP was passed
by Congress on March 10, 2021 and signed into law on March 11, 2021.
The Fiscal Recovery Funds may be used for the following: 1) to respond to the public health
emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses,
and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; 2) to respond to
workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing
premium pay to eligible workers; 3) to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in
revenue due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most
recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and 4) to make necessary investments in water, sewer,
or broadband infrastructure. In December 2022, Congress amended the ARP program through the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, providing additional flexibility for recipients to use ARP funds
to respond to natural disasters, build critical infrastructure, and support community development.
On May 16, 2021, the County received the first tranche of $974.99 million of ARP funds from the U.S.
Department of Treasury and on June 9, 2022, the County received the second tranche of $974.99
million. The ARP funds must be obligated between March 3, 2021 and December 31, 2024, and
expended to cover such obligations by December 31, 2026. For FY 2024-2025, the County recorded
$385.15 million as revenue on the fund and government-wide financial statements and $74.79 million
is reported as advances payable.

Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funds
On November 17, 2022, the County received $1.66 million from the Local Assistance and Tribal
Consistency Fund (LATCF). The LATCF was established by Section 605 of the Social Security Act,
as added by Section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The purpose of the LATCF
program is to serve as a general revenue enhancement program and is designed, in part, to
supplement existing federal programs that augment and stabilize revenues. For FY 2024-2025, the
County recorded $1.89 million as revenue on the fund and government-wide financial statements,
and $1.17 million is reported as advances payable.
Under the fund statements, the General Fund recorded the COVID-19 revenue as
“Intergovernmental Revenues-Federal”. The government-wide financial statements recorded the
COVID-19 revenue as “Operating Grants and Contributions”. The remaining balance was reported
under advance payable on the fund and government-wide financial statements as summarized below

FEMA Public Assistance (ALN 97.036)
On March 13, 2020, a nationwide emergency was declared in response to COVID-19, making FEMA Public
Assistance funding available to support local response efforts. The County was awarded $119.00 million
in FEMA Public Assistance funding and $3.70 million in a related state funding from the California
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the pass-through entity, for five expedited COVID-19
projects: Emergency Operations Center and related activities, non-congregate medical shelters, COVID-
19 testing, Project Roomkey, and Great Plates. The SEFA includes $1.07 million of FEMA COVID-19
Public Assistance expenditures for the current year.
Expenditures incurred for eligible costs are reported on the SEFA in the fiscal year in which Cal OES
approves and obligates funding for the related projects, as evidenced by Notices of Obligation and
Payment, regardless of when the underlying costs were incurred. Effective FY 2024-25, the Chief Executive
Office (CEO), which manages the County’s FEMA program, corrected its application of the County’s
methodology to report expenditures upon federal/project approval and obligation rather than upon receipt
of funds and distribution to the claiming departments. CEO management is currently evaluating the nature
and extent of any adjustments that may be needed to federal expenditures reported in prior fiscal years as
a result of its prior application of the reporting methodology.

Emergency Rental Assistance (ALN 21.023)
The federal Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program makes funding available to assist households
that are unable to pay rent or utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two separate programs have been
established: ERA1 provides up to $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was
enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan
(ARP) Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. During FY 2020-21, the County received
$160.07 million and $84.72 million for ERA1 and ERA2, respectively.
The County entered into an agreement with the State to manage the County’s ERA funds. This
arrangement was made to simplify the process for tenants and landlords, eliminating confusion caused by
multiple programs across various jurisdictions. Consequently, the State assumed all compliance
responsibilities for ERA1 and ERA2. The SEFA includes $955,661 in ERA2 expenditures for administrative
services provided by LACDA and reimbursed by the County.
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) (ALN 21.027)
The ARP Act of 2021 authorized the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), which
continues many of the programs started by the CARES Act (2020) and Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2021, by adding new phases, new allocations, and new guidance to address issues related to the
continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus SLFRF also creates a variety of new programs
to address continuing pandemic-related crises and fund recovery efforts as the United States begins to
emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
On May 16, 2021, the County received the first tranche of $974.99 million of Coronavirus SLFRF funds
from the U.S. Department of Treasury and on June 9, 2022, the County received the second tranche of
$974.99 million. The County is a prime recipient. The SEFA includes expenditures of Coronavirus SLFRF
funds received directly from the U.S. Department of Treasury in the amount of $385.15 million to: 1) respond
to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts; 2) respond to workers performing
essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers;

3) provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 public health
emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and 4)
make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. In December 2022, Congress
amended the Coronavirus SLFRF program through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, providing
additional flexibility for recipients to use Coronavirus SLFRF funds to respond to natural disasters, build
critical infrastructure, and support community development. The Coronavirus SLFRF funds were obligated
between March 3, 2021, and December 31, 2024, and must be expended to cover such obligations by
December 31, 2026.
8. CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT FUND CLUSTER
In accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 10440(g), the County of Los Angeles
Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is required to submit an annual independent financial
and compliance audit report for the Child Development Program.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, DCFS engaged an independent Certified Public Accounting firm
to perform a financial and compliance audit of the Child Development Program. The audit did not have a
financial impact on the Child Care and Development Fund Cluster as reported in the SEFA. Child
Development Program expenditures are reported in the SEFA under ALN 93.596, Child Day Care Program,
in the amount of $3.71 million, and under ALN 93.575, Child Care and Development Block Grant, in the
amount of $6.17 million.
9. OVERESTIMATED ACCRUALS
During FY 2024-25, the County identified overstatements in the FYs 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and
2023-24 in the SEFA and related Federal Financial Reports submitted to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) grant titled “COVID-19 – Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious
Diseases (ELC) – CARES Act” (ALN 93.323). However, the overstatements were corrected before filing a
claim for reimbursement with HHS.
The overstatements resulted from overestimated accruals in the amounts reported as federal expenditures.
The revised cumulative expenditure amounts for these fiscal years are as follows:

Independent Auditor’s Report 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
The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of Los Angeles, California
We have audited, 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 (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County of Los Angeles, California
(County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon
dated December 15, 2025, except for the report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the
community services block grant supplementary schedules of revenue and expenditures, and the
supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards granted by the California Department
of Aging, as to which the date is March 27, 2026. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who
audited the financial statements of the Los Angeles County Development Authority, the Los Angeles County
Children and Families First – Proposition 10 Commission, and the Los Angeles County Employees
Retirement Association, as described in our report on the County’s financial statements. This report does
not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance
and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the County’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control.
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 a 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. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies
in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We identified a certain deficiency in internal
control described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2025-001 that
we consider to be a significant deficiency.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County’s financial statements are free from
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
financial statements. 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.
County’s Response to Finding
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County’s
response to the finding identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each
Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over
Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance
The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of Los Angeles, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the County of Los Angeles, California’s (County) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and
material effect on each of the County’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025. The
County’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2025.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the County and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major
federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the County’s compliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above.
Other Matter – Federal Expenditures Not Included in the Compliance Audit
As described in Note 1 to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the County’s basic financial
statements include the operations of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), which
expended $694.64 million in federal awards, which are not included in the County’s schedule of
expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2025. Our compliance audit, described in the
Opinion section of our report, does not include the operations of LACDA because LACDA engaged other
auditors to perform an audit of compliance.
Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP
700 South Flower Street, Suite 800 www.mgocpa.com
Los Angeles, CA 90017 205
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
The County’s management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for
the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the
requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable
to the County’s federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion
on the County’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is
not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS,
Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance
when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is
considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would
influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the County’s
compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the County’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred
to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the County’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report
on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal
control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance which are required to be
reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which are described in the accompanying schedule
of findings and questioned costs as items 2025-002 and 2025-003. Our opinion on each major federal
program is not modified with respect to these matters.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County’s
response to the noncompliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the other auditing
procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
206
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies
in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be a material weakness and a significant deficiency.
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 program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,
or a 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 program will not
be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency in internal control
over compliance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2025-
002 to be a material weakness.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less
severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiency in internal control over compliance
described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2025-003 to be a
significant deficiency.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control
over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County’s
response to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the
other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
the response.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing
of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform
Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Federal Program Title: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially
Declared Disasters)
Federal Assistance Listing Number: 97.036
Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Pass-Through Entity: California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services
Federal Award Number and Year: Fiscal Year 2024-25
Name of Department: Chief Executive Office (CEO)
Category of Finding: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
Criteria
In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.510, the non-Federal entity must
prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the non-Federal
entity’s financial statements as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502.
2 CFR § 200.502 basis for determining Federal awards expended states:
The determination of when a Federal award is expended must be based on when the activity related to the
Federal award occurs. Generally, the activity related to the Federal award pertains to events that require
the non-Federal entity to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal
awards, such as:
(1) Expenditure/expense transactions associated with grants, cooperative agreements, cost-
reimbursement contracts under the FAR, compacts with Indian Tribes, and direct appropriations;
(2) The disbursement of funds to subrecipients;
(3) The use of loan proceeds under loan and loan guarantee programs;
(4) The receipt of property (including surplus property);
(5) The receipt or use of program income;
(6) The distribution or use of food commodities;
(7) The disbursement of amounts entitling the non-Federal entity to an interest subsidy; and
(8) The period when insurance is in force.
Condition and Context
The CEO Office of Emergency Management (CEO OEM) manages the Disaster Grants – Public Assistance
(Presidentially Declared Disasters) program. We noted that CEO OEM reported expenditures in the SEFA
using a methodology that was not compliant with the requirements of 2 CFR § 200.502. Specifically, CEO
OEM reported federal expenditures when they distributed the revenues to the claiming departments and
not for the expenditures incurred on or after receiving a Notice of Obligation letter from the granting agency.
Cause
CEO OEM misinterpreted guidance on identifying expenditures to include in the SEFA that was not
consistent with the reporting requirements of 2 CFR § 200.502.
210
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Effect
Failure to accurately identify and report federal expenditures in the SEFA could affect the major program
determination and the programs selected for audit. After removing $9,932,368 in federal expenditures that
were based on the timing of grant receipts during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Disaster Grants
– Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) program was no longer determined to be a major
program.
Recommendation
We recommend that CEO OEM update its processes for identifying and reporting federal expenditures in
the SEFA to ensure that expenditures reported are consistent with the reporting requirements of 2 CFR §
200.502. CEO OEM should also evaluate and determine the impact of any correction that may be necessary
to amounts reported in prior years.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action
1. Person responsible: OEM Public Assistance Director
2. Corrective action plan:
The CEO OEM agrees with the finding and recommendation. CEO OEM is in the process of
updating policies and procedures to be compliant with the federal reporting requirements of 2 CFR
§ 200.502. Effective for the FY 2024-25 Single Audit and prospectively, OEM will no longer report
federal revenues for Public Assistance reimbursements at the time they are received and
distributed to County departments. Instead, CEO OEM will report federal revenues when
expenditures are incurred and FEMA obligates a qualifying expenditure. We understand that a
FEMA obligation does not necessarily guarantee a federal reimbursement to the County; however,
we recognize that federal guidelines focus on expenditure incurrence and FEMA obligations instead
of federal revenues received. OEM will also evaluate and determine the impact of correction of the
SEFA reporting methodology and report its findings for the FY 2025-26 Single Audit.

Criteria
In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.332(c)(e)(f), all pass-through
entities must:
(c) Evaluate each subrecipient's fraud risk and risk of noncompliance with a subaward to determine
the appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraph (f) of this section. When evaluating
a subrecipient's risk, a pass-through entity should consider the following:
(1) The subrecipient's prior experience with the same or similar subawards;
(2) The results of previous audits. This includes considering whether or not the subrecipient
receives a Single Audit in accordance with subpart F and the extent to which the same or
similar subawards have been audited as a major program;
(3) Whether the subrecipient has new personnel or new or substantially changed systems;
and
(4) The extent and results of any Federal agency monitoring (for example, if the
subrecipient also receives Federal awards directly from the Federal agency).
(e) Monitor the activities of a subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subrecipient complies
with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. The pass-through
entity is responsible for monitoring the overall performance of a subrecipient to ensure that the
goals and objectives of the subaward are achieved. In monitoring a subrecipient, a pass-through
entity must:
(1) Review financial and performance reports.
(2) Ensure that the subrecipient takes corrective action on all significant developments that
negatively affect the subaward. Significant developments include Single Audit findings
related to the subaward, other audit findings, site visits, and written notifications from a
212
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
subrecipient of adverse conditions which will impact their ability to meet the milestones or
the objectives of a subaward. When significant developments negatively impact the
subaward, a subrecipient must provide the pass-through entity with information on their
plan for corrective action and any assistance needed to resolve the situation.
(3) Issue a management decision for audit findings pertaining only to the Federal award
provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity as required by § 200.521.
(4) Resolve audit findings specifically related to the subaward. However, the pass-through
entity is not responsible for resolving cross-cutting audit findings that apply to the subaward
and other Federal awards or subawards. If a subrecipient has a current Single Audit report
and has not been excluded from receiving Federal funding (meaning, has not been
debarred or suspended), the pass-through entity may rely on the subrecipient's cognizant
agency for audit or oversight agency for audit to perform audit follow-up and make
management decisions related to cross-cutting audit findings in accordance with
§ 200.513(a)(4)(viii). Such reliance does not eliminate the responsibility of the pass-
through entity to issue subawards that conform to agency and award-specific requirements,
to manage risk through ongoing subaward monitoring, and to monitor the status of the
findings that are specifically related to the subaward.
(f) Depending upon the pass-through entity's assessment of the risk posed by the subrecipient (as
described in paragraph (c) of this section), the following monitoring tools may be useful for the
pass-through entity to ensure proper accountability and compliance with program requirements and
achievement of performance goals:
(1) Providing subrecipients with training and technical assistance on program-related
matters;
(2) Performing site visits to review the subrecipient's program operations; and
(3) Arranging for agreed-upon-procedures engagements as described in § 200.425.
Condition
During our audit of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program, we
selected twenty one (21) subrecipients with active contracts with the County during FY 2024-25.
We noted that the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) did not perform subrecipient
monitoring for four (4) contracts administered by the department, of which one (1) contract did not have a
risk assessment performed during FY 2024-25.
In addition, we selected two (2) subrecipients with total expenditures of $19,217,030 that were subjected
to subrecipient monitoring compliance requirements; however, it was determined that the selected
subrecipients were vendors and inadvertently included in the subrecipient population. In the SEFA, the
passed through to subrecipients column for this grant was reduced by $19,217,030 to reflect this correction.
This is a repeat finding of 2024-002 as it relates to the subrecipient monitoring portion of the Condition.
Cause
Due to limited resources, the department needed more time to complete risk assessment, monitor the
CSLFRF subrecipients and document the reviews in accordance with subrecipient monitoring
requirements.
213
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Effect
Failure to document risk assessment and monitoring results is noncompliance with the subrecipient
monitoring requirements 2 CFR § 200.332 (c)(e)(f).
Questioned Costs
Questioned costs were not determinable.
Context
Of the twenty one (21) subrecipients selected for testing, which totaled $192,086,158, from a population of
ninety-seven (97) subrecipients with expenditures totaling $282,469,393, the department did not perform
an annual risk assessment for one (1) subrecipient and they did not have documentary evidence supporting
the monitoring of four (4) subrecipients with expenditures totaling $5,917,341. However, the department
retained copies of the subrecipients’ single audit reports.
The misclassification of vendors was corrected by removing them from the subrecipient expenditures, which
decreased subrecipient expenditures from $301,686,423 to $282,469,393.
DCBA had 7 subrecipients with total expenditures of $99,128,273 out of the total of 97 subrecipients with
total expenditures of $282,469,393.
The sample was not a statistically valid sample.
Recommendation
We recommend the County perform risk assessments and monitor the activities of its subrecipients as
necessary to ensure that subawards are used for authorized purposes and maintain appropriate records
for monitoring subrecipients in accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements set forth in 2 CFR §
200.332 (c)(e)(f).
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action
1. Person responsible: Administrative Deputy, DCBA
2. Corrective action plan: DCBA concurs with the findings and the recommendation, however, the
total expenditure amount of $5,917,341 is inclusive of expenditures from a different contract held
by the same agency who was identified as a contractor and not a sub-recipient. As such,
expenditures under that contract would not be subject to monitoring as set forth in 2 CFR § 200.332.
Therefore, the total expenditures for the four (4) subrecipient agreements that are missing
monitoring reports are $585,756.
To address the finding, DCBA will establish a formal monitoring plan that will include a monitoring
checklist, monitoring schedule, and a detailed tracking log to ensure timely monitoring of its
subrecipients. DCBA will work with CEO and/or the Auditor-Controller to identify resources to
implement ongoing monitoring of subrecipients, with clear documentation and reporting.
Additionally, DCBA already implemented a risk assessment process to ensure an assessment of
all subrecipients is completed at least once a year. This process will be formalized in writing. The
process involves identifying risk areas, including reviewing financial stability, legal risks, capacity,
and performance history. The assessment process uses a risk scoring model that rates
organizations using a risk level scale between 1-5 that takes into consideration operating reserves,
program and fundraising efficiency, and their ability to meet financial obligations.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Reference Number: 2025-003
Federal Program Title: Immunization Cooperative Agreements
Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.268
Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Pass-Through Entity: California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
Federal Award Number and Year: 22-11039
July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2027
Name of Department: Department of Public Health, Immunization Program
Category of Finding: Reporting and Special Tests and
Provisions
Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal
Control Over Compliance
Criteria
In accordance with the Scope of Work (SOW) of the grant agreement and the related statutes under the
California Health & Safety Code sections:
• 120130 requires the Local Health Officer to properly report to CDPH those diseases listed as
reportable, which include vaccine-preventable diseases.
• 120175 requires the Local Health Officer to take measures as may be necessary to prevent the
spread or occurrence of additional cases of reportable diseases (which includes reportable
vaccine-preventable diseases).
• 120350 requires Local Health Officers to organize and maintain a program to make available the
immunizations required for admittance to childcare facilities and schools.
The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health (DPH) is responsible for monitoring each program
component: 1) Vaccine Accountability and Management; 2) Access to and Utilization of Quality
Immunization Services; 3) California Immunization Registry (CAIR); 4) Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention;
5) Education, Information, Training, and Partnerships; 6) Prevention, Surveillance and Control of Vaccine
Preventable Disease (VPD); 7) Childcare and School Immunization Entry Requirements; 8) Influenza; and
9) COVID-19 Vaccination.
Under each of these component areas, there are objectives and required activities to be performed to
meet the objectives. On a semi-annual basis, the Los Angeles County Vaccine Preventable Disease
Control Program (VPDCP) will report to CDPH on the progress for the pertinent objectives and activities,
as delineated in the grant SOW.
Condition
During our audit of DPH Immunization Cooperative Agreement program’s Access to and Utilization of
Quality Immunization Services component, we noted that VPDCP was unable to provide the supporting
log of Medi-Cal members’ access to immunization problems resolved at the local level or reported to
CDPH.
Cause
The log documenting Medi-Cal members’ access to immunization problems could not be located. VPDCP
management indicated that, due to staff turnover, the file may have been saved on an individual
employee’s local drive rather than in a shared directory accessible to the program.
Effect
The absence of required documentation prevents validation of the reported progress and undermines
assurance that the objective was achieved as stated.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Questioned Cost
Questioned costs were not identified.
Context
In the Biannual Progress Report for January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, VPDCP reported that Component
Area 2, Goal 2.1b had been met. The performance measure for this activity requires VPDCP to maintain
a log of access problems resolved at the local level or reported to CDPH. VPDCP was unable to provide
this log, preventing confirmation that the activity was completed as reported.
Recommendation
VPDCP should require all required program documentation be stored in a centralized shared location and
implement oversight procedures, including transition checklists and periodic reviews, to ensure
documentation is consistently maintained and accessible. These actions will help ensure that required
evidence is consistently retained and available to support reported progress to the CDPH.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action
1. Person responsible: Deputy Director, Department of Public Health
2. Corrective action plan:
DPH agrees with the finding and recommendation. VPDCP will develop and implement written
procedures for the centralized and secure storage of documentation supporting grant deliverables
and required progress reports. The procedures will include, at a minimum, the following:
• Define required documentation, storage location, staff responsibilities, and retention
requirements.
• Require all supporting documentation to be maintained in a designated centralized repository
and ensure documentation is complete, organized, and readily accessible for review.
• Detail the steps during staff transitions that new staff must follow to access, maintain, and
update grant-related documentation, ensuring consistency and completeness of records.
VPDCP will perform periodic reviews of the centralized repository and formally document and sign-
off on the reviews to verify that required documentation is maintained.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS:
There were no financial statement findings nor questioned costs reported for the year ended June 30, 2024.
FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS:
Finding 2024-001 – DPH – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment
ALN 93.069 Public Health Emergency Preparedness
Condition
During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with the procurement and
suspension and debarment requirements for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program, we
noted that for eleven (11) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that
the vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to entering
into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the vendors in question
are not suspended or debarred.
This is a repeat finding of 2023-008.
Recommendation
We recommend that DPH either: 1) include a contract clause or condition to the covered transaction with
that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of
that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person.
Current Year Management Response
Emergency Preparedness Response Division: EPRD requires all on-line requisition (OLR) requestors to
attach a SAM.gov verification for the reference vendor to every OLR submitted.
The Department of Public Health’s Administrative Services Division (ASD), which oversees the
department’s supply chain operations, has implemented the recommendations as follows:
• DPH Procurement staff were sent emails on June 14, 2024, July 17, 2024, March 28, 2025, and
June 4, 2025 to remind them that SAM.gov verification documents are required for all federally
funded purchasing packages.
• Procurement staff and supervisors have also been reminded in Procurement meetings to ensure
that the SAM.gov verification is accurately completed and reviewed before finalizing/approving
purchases.
• ASD conducted two trainings for the department that was attended by over 250 staff across the
department. SAM.gov verification was included as one of the topics for discussion in those
trainings.
• Finally, and most importantly, ASD issued a memorandum on July 17, 2025 to all DPH programs
noting the SAM.gov verification requirement. This memo included detailed procedures as to what
documentation to include in all Federally funded purchasing packages. Programs were notified
that if the proper documentation was not provided, purchasing packages would be denied and not
be processed.
Current Status as of June 30, 2025
Implemented.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Finding 2024-002 – CEO/AD/DAC/DEO – Subrecipient Monitoring
ALN 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
Condition
During our audit of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program, we
selected fifteen (15) subrecipients with active contracts with the County during FY 2023-24. We noted for
seven (7) contracts administered by the Departments of Aging, Arts and Culture, and Economic
Opportunity, the departments did not perform subrecipient monitoring related to the CSLFRF program
during FY 2023-24.
This is a repeat finding of 2023-009.
Recommendation
We recommend the County monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the
subaward is used for authorized purposes and maintain sufficient records of monitoring subrecipients in
accordance with subrecipient monitoring requirements.
Current Year Management Response
CPA firms are currently conducting FY 2023-24 CSLFRF subrecipient monitoring reviews for the County.
These reviews assess each subrecipient’s fiscal and administrative procedures, internal controls,
recordkeeping, and compliance with contractual service requirements.
As of June 30, 2025, the CPA firms have completed 46 CSLFRF subrecipient monitoring reviews and are
currently working on four additional reviews. Subrecipients have received 55 findings for the FY 2023-24
CSLFRF monitoring reviews. The County will continue to oversee the monitoring process by following up
on findings and ensuring corrective action plans are obtained and tracked in a timely manner.
Current Status as of June 30, 2025
Partially implemented as of June 30, 2025; however, not operational until FY 2025-26. See current year
finding 2025-002.
Finding 2023-008 – DPH – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment
ALN 93.069 Public Health Emergency Preparedness
Condition
During our audit of the Department of Public Health (DPH) compliance with the procurement and
suspension and debarment requirements for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program, we
noted the following:
• For twenty-one (21) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation related to the history of the
procurement. Therefore, we were unable to determine whether DPH complied with the procurement
requirements related to the method of procurement, competition, and the basis for the contract
price.
• For two (2) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation of the justification and approval of sole
source. Therefore, we were unable to determine whether the procurement method used was
appropriate and whether limiting competition was justified.
218
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
• For three (3) contracts, DPH did not provide documentation to demonstrate DPH verified that the
vendor was not suspended or debarred from participating in federally funded contracts prior to
entering into a covered transaction. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, the
vendors are not suspended or debarred.
Recommendation
We recommend that DPH maintain sufficient records to support vendor selection in accordance with
procurement requirements. In addition, we recommend that DPH either: 1) include a contract clause or
condition to the covered transaction with that person, 2) check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a
contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a certification from that person.
Current Year Management Response
Acute Communicable Disease Control (ACDC) has verified SAM exclusions, documented the verification
date prior to contract execution, and retained the documentation on file. The SAM.gov PDF printout serves
as evidence of the dated exclusion check and is stored in a master folder labeled ‘Debarment Checks’ on
ACDC’s shared drive. A copy of the specific vendor’s SAM exclusion check is also attached to the
corresponding OLR for further review and processing.
The Department of Public Health’s Administrative Services Division (ASD), which oversees the
department’s supply chain operations, has implemented the recommendations as follows:
• DPH Procurement staff were sent emails on June 14, 2024, July 17, 2024, March 28, 2025, and
June 4, 2025 to remind them that SAM.gov verification documents are required for all federally
funded purchasing packages.
• Procurement staff and supervisors have also been reminded in Procurement meetings to ensure
that the SAM.gov verification is accurately completed and reviewed before finalizing/approving
purchases.
• ASD conducted two trainings for the department that was attended by over 250 staff across the
department. SAM.gov verification was included as one of the topics for discussion in those
trainings.
• Finally, and most importantly, ASD issued a memorandum on July 17, 2025 to all DPH programs
noting the SAM.gov verification requirement. This memo included detailed procedures as to what
documentation to include in all Federally funded purchasing packages. Programs were notified
that if the proper documentation was not provided, purchasing packages would be denied and not
be processed.
Current Status as of June 30, 2025

Finding 2023-009 – CEO/ISD/DCBA/DA –Subrecipient Monitoring
ALN 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
Condition
During our audit of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program, we
selected twenty-three (23) subrecipients with active contracts with the County during FY 2022-23.
• One (1) contract administered by the Internal Services Department (ISD) did not include one or
more of the required elements defined in 2 CFR § 200.332 (a)(1) in the subrecipient’s agreement.
• One (1) contract administered by the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCBA) did not include one
or more of the required elements defined in 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1) in the subrecipient’s agreement.
219
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
• For four (4) contracts administered by the Aging Department (AD), the AD did not perform
subrecipient monitoring related to the CSLFRF program during FY 2022-23.
Recommendation
We recommend the County perform the following:
1. Remind departments that the Notice of Federal Subaward Information is a required attachment for
all subrecipient agreements. In addition, subaward contract templates should be reviewed and
revised to include placeholders for required information 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1).
2. For existing subrecipients that were not provided the required elements, provide a letter or
amended agreement to include all the required elements of 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1).
3. Maintain sufficient records of monitoring subrecipients in accordance with subrecipient monitoring
requirements.
Current Year Management Response
CPA firms are currently conducting FY 2022-23 CSLFRF subrecipient monitoring reviews for the County.
These reviews assess each subrecipient’s fiscal and administrative procedures, internal controls,
recordkeeping, and compliance with contractual service requirements.
As of June 30, 2025, the CPA firms have completed 39 CSLFRF subrecipient monitoring reviews and are
currently working on four additional reviews. Subrecipients have received 58 findings for the FY 2022-23
CSLFRF monitoring reviews. The County will continue to oversee the monitoring process by following up
on findings and ensuring corrective action plans are obtained and tracked in a timely manner.
Current Status as of June 30, 2025
Recommendations 1 and 2 are implemented as of June 30, 2024. However, recommendation 3 is in
progress and not operational until FY 2025-26. Partially implemented. See current year finding 2025-002.
Finding 2021-008 – Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RRCC) – Procurement and Suspension and
Debarment
ALN 90.404 2018 HAVA Election Security Grants
Condition
During our review of the 2018 HAVA Election Security Grants program, we noted that fourteen (14) vendor
contracts reviewed did not include a suspension and debarment certification clause indicating the vendor
was not suspended or debarred from participation in federally funded contracts. There was no other
documentation available to demonstrate that the verification of suspension and debarment was performed
prior to entering into the covered transactions. Based on a subsequent review of the SAM exclusions, those
fourteen (14) vendors are not suspended or debarred.
Recommendation
We recommend that Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk check the SAM exclusions prior to entering into a
contract, maintain documentation of that verification, and add a clause to the contract that requires vendors
to certify that they are not suspended or debarred.
220
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
STATUS OF PRIOR YEARS’ FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Current Year Management Response
RRCC has reached out to ISD’s new Purchasing Manager and has not yet received a response. Last
update was that ISD was continuing to work on changing their language to their standardized purchasing
template to include the debarment clause for use by every department. RRCC will continue to follow up
with them and ask the target date be extended to 8/19/2025.
Current Status as of June 30, 2025
Partially implemented.
