INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ 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 discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of County of San Luis Obispo, as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
County of San Luis Obispo’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 29, 2025. Our report includes references to other auditors who audited the financial
statements of the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust (SLOCPT), a pension trust, and First 5 San
Luis Obispo, a discretely presented component unit, as described in our report on the County’s financial
statements. This report does not include the results of other auditors’ testing of internal controls 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 County of San Luis
Obispo’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 County of
San Luis Obispo’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
County of San Luis Obispo’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.

Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
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 material weakness.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether County of San Luis Obispo’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 of San Luis Obispo’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the County of
San Luis Obispo’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs. County of San Luis Obispo’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 AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH
MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM, REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE, AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the County of San Luis Obispo’s (the 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 auditors’ 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; 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the
Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of County of San Luis Obispo 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.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
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.

County of San Luis Obispo
Auditors’ 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 County of San Luis Obispo’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.
Report on 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 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. 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.

Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditors’ 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. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
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.
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.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the 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. We have
issued our report thereon dated December 29, 2025, which contained unmodified opinions on those
financial statements. We did not audit the financial statements of the San Luis Obispo County Pension
Trust (SLOCPT), a pension trust fund and First 5 San Luis Obispo (First 5), a discretely presented
component unit. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished
to use, and in our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for SLOCPT and
First 5, are based solely on the reports of other auditors. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of
forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is 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
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
JUNE 30, 2025
NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) presents the
activity of all federal award programs of the County of San Luis Obispo (County). The
County’s reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the County’s basic financial statements.
Federal awards received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal awards passed
through other government agencies, are included in the schedule. The information in this
Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the
operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position,
changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented using the
modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting for program
expenditures/expenses accounted for in governmental funds and proprietary funds,
respectively, as described in Note 1 of the County’s basic financial statements. Such
expenditures/expenses are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform
Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures/expenses are not allowable or are limited
as to reimbursement.
NOTE 3 FEDERAL ASSISTANCE LISTING NUMBERS
The program titles and federal assistance listing numbers were obtained from the federal or
pass-through grantor.
NOTE 4 INDIRECT COST RATE
The County did not elect to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR
§200.414.
NOTE 5 PASS-THROUGH ENTITIES’ IDENTIFYING NUMBER
When federal awards were received from a pass-through entity, the Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards shows, if available, the identifying number assigned by the
pass-through entity. When no identifying number is shown, the County determined that no
identifying number is assigned for the program or the County was unable to obtain an
identifying number from the pass-through entity.

Condition: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the County of San Luis Obispo restated its
beginning fund balance in the General Fund by a total of $20.1 million. This restatement consisted of:
An increase of $15.2 million for revenues from the State of California related to the Medi-Cal
program that were incorrectly not recognized in prior years. These amounts had been recorded
as a payable because the County anticipated the possibility of repayment to the State.
An additional increase of $4.9 million for a receivable related to Medi-Cal that was understated
in the prior year.
Criteria: Governmental accounting standards require that revenues and receivables be recognized in
the appropriate period when they are both measurable and available, and that liabilities be recorded
only when a present obligation exists.
Cause: The County did not properly evaluate the nature of the Medi-Cal transactions and incorrectly
classified certain amounts as a liability rather than revenue. Additionally, the County failed to accurately
record the receivable related to Medi-Cal in the prior year.
Effect: The misclassification and understatement resulted in a material misstatement of prior-year
financial statements and required a restatement of beginning fund balance in the General Fund totaling
$20.1 million.
Recommendation: The County should strengthen its review and reconciliation processes for Medi-Cal
program transactions to ensure proper recognition of revenues, receivables, and liabilities in
accordance with applicable accounting standards. Management should implement additional training
and oversight to prevent similar errors in future periods.
Views of Responsible Officials and planned corrective action: Management agrees with the finding
and has provided the department with guidance on proper revenue recognition of Medi-Cal
reimbursement transactions.
