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
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, 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 San Luis
Obispo (the County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic
financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 2016.
Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements
of the First 5 San Luis Obispo County, a discretely presented component unit, 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.
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) to determine the
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.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the
preceding paragraph 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.
However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned
costs, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a
material weakness.
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. We consider the deficiency described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs to be a material weakness:
2015-01.
1
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. There were no significant deficiencies identified.
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 determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
County’s Response to Findings
The County’s response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs and schedule of current year findings and questioned costs – Airport
Passenger Facility Charge Program. The County’s response was not subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
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 County’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 County’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR
EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the County of San Luis Obispo’s (the County) compliance with the
types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 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, 2015. 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.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the County’s
major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements
referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and
OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal
program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
County’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance
for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal
determination of the County’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the types of
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, 2015.
3
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our
audit of compliance, we considered the County’s internal control over compliance with the types of
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the
auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in
accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the County’s internal control over compliance.
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 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. 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.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
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
OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

San Luis Obispo, California
We have audited 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 San Luis
Obispo (the County) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, which collectively
comprise the County’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon
dated February 26, 2016, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial
statements.
Our audit was performed 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 is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit
Organizations, and is not a required part of the 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 financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the County Board of
Supervisors and management of the County as well as the County’s federal awarding
agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be, and should not be,

SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
2015-01: Debt Accretion
Criteria:
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, internal controls should be designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving effective and efficient operations, reliable financial and performance
reporting, or compliance with applicable laws and regulations in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Condition:
During our audit procedures over long-term debt, it was noted the County of San Luis Obispo (the
County) did not include the accreted value of the 2003 Capital Appreciation Bonds through June 30,
2015. The 2003 Series C Bonds will begin to mature on September 1, 2018, and each year thereafter
until 2030. Each bond should accrete (increase) in value from the date of issuance until maturity. In
accordance with the “Table of Accreted Values” in the official bond statement of the 2003 Capital
Appreciation Bonds, we noted the County did not report $35,486,164 in prior year accretion and
$4,528,978 in current year accretion.
Cause of Condition:
Per discussion with the client, the County had not previously issued debt instruments where interest is not
paid until maturity and was therefore not familiar with unique accounting procedures necessary to record
the accreted value component of these bonds. The County management has been aware of the
accretion in value and has identified the full obligation of the bonds in debt presentations before the Board
of Supervisors in a public setting. The County also has reported the full amount of debt service to
maturity in the notes to the financial statements each year since inception of the bonds. However, due to
the lack of familiarity with this unique type of bond, the County applied the same accounting procedures
to them as used for conventional debt instruments with interest payable each year, which would have
resulted in the accreted value being reporting in the Statement of Net Position in the year payable rather
than as it accretes over time as required under U.S. GAAP.
Effect:
Failing to record the accreted value of long-term debt could misrepresent the financial state of the County
in any given year and could result in the financial statements being materially misstated, thus not being in
compliance with U.S. GAAP reporting requirements.
Recommendation:
We recommend the County adjust the outstanding balance for the 2003 Series C Capital Appreciation
Bonds to include the accumulated accretion for all bonds as of June 30, 2015. In addition, we
recommend the County implement the proper internal control procedures to record the full balance of
outstanding debt, including accretion, for future years.
Management Response/Corrective Action Plan:
The County agrees with the finding and has recorded the correct accreted values through June 30, 2015,
and has calculated the amounts to record for each fiscal year thereafter through maturity.
18
SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
There were no findings identified in fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, that require reporting in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards.
19
SECTION IV – STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
2014-001: Receivables Cutoff
Criteria:
County policies and procedures should ensure year-end accruals are properly identified and recorded for
all account balances, including revenues and receivables, during the year-end closing process.
Condition:
During our audit, we noted two significant receipts in the capital projects fund for State aid that were
recognized in Fiscal Year 2014-15, but should have been accrued to 2013-14 since they were
reimbursements for Fiscal Year 2013-14 project expenditures. The amount of the audit adjustment was
$3.3 million.
Cause:
The County has procedures designed to review payments received early in the new fiscal year to
determine if accrual to the prior fiscal year is appropriate. One of these procedures was overlooked
resulting in failure to recognize a receivable and revenue for the two noted receipts in the correct fiscal
year.
Effect of Condition:
Prior to the audit adjustment intergovernmental revenue and committed fund balance was understated by
$3.3 million in the capital projects fund at June 30, 2014. The amounts were corrected by audit
adjustment.
Recommendation:
To ensure proper revenue recognition, we recommend that the County review all significant deposits
received after the June 30 cutoff to ensure revenue is recorded in the proper accounting period.
Management Response:
Management agrees with the recommendation and will more closely monitor the performance of year-end
review procedures.
Current Year Status:
Implemented.

AVIATION PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF
PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
Report on Schedule for Each Quarterly Period
We have audited the accompanying Schedule of Passenger Facility Charge
Revenues and Expenses (Schedule) of the County of San Luis Obispo (County), for
the annual period and each quarterly period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Schedule
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of a financial schedule that is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on this financial schedule based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial
audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial schedule is free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts
in the Schedule. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Schedule,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the County’s preparation and fair presentation of
the Schedule 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, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the Schedule.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Schedule referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects,
the passenger facility charges received, held, and used by the County for the period
and each quarter during the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, as defined by
the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States of America Department of
Transportation.
22
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 26,
2016, on our consideration of the County’s internal control over financial reporting relating to the
Schedule and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grant agreements. The purpose of that report is 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
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Governmental Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance relating to the Schedule.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Supervisors and the County of
San Luis Obispo and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than those specified
parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE
PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the County of San Luis Obispo (County) with the
compliance requirements described in the Passenger Facility Charge Audit Guide for
Public Agencies, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (Guide), for its
Passenger Facility Charge program for the period and each quarter during the period
from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Compliance with the requirements of laws and
regulations applicable to its Passenger Facility Charge program is the responsibility
of the County’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
County’s compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; and the Guide. Those standards and the
Guide require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above
that could have a direct and material effect on the Passenger Facility Charge
program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
County's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures,
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal
determination of the County's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the requirements
referred to above that are applicable to its Passenger Facility Charge program for the
period and each quarter during the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of
noncompliance with those requirements, which is described in the accompanying
schedule of current year findings and questioned costs – Airport Passenger Facility
Charge program as item 2015-02.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws and
regulations applicable to the Passenger Facility Charge program. In planning and
performing our audit, we considered the County’s internal control over compliance
with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on the Passenger
Facility Charge program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of County’s internal
control over compliance.
24
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 the
Passenger Facility Charge 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 a material
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Passenger Facility Charge program will not
be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might
be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We identified a deficiency in internal controls over
compliance as described in the accompanying schedule of current year findings and questioned costs –
Airport Passenger Facility Charge program: 2015-02.
This report is intended solely for the information of management, the Board of Supervisors, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration, and the airline parties operating at the Airport and it is not intended to be,
and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE SCHEDULE OF PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE
REVENUES AND EXPENSES PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the Schedule of Passenger Facility Charge Revenues and
Expenses (Schedule) of the County of San Luis Obispo (County), as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2015, and have issued our report thereon dated February 26,
2016.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the Schedule, we considered the County’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) relating to the Schedule to
determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the Schedule, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control relating to
the Schedule. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
County’s internal control relating to the Schedule.
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 schedule 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. Given these
limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that
we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist
that have not been identified.
26
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Schedule is free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of the County’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial schedule amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed one instance of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards. See 2015-02.
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 County's internal
control or on compliance relating to the Schedule. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control and
compliance relating to the Schedule. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.
