However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550 Rules of the Auditor General. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, OMB Circular A-133, and Chapter 10.550 Rules of the Auditor General. Audit Procedures-Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of City of Sunny Isles Beach's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550 Rules of the Auditor General require that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of test of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Circular A-i33 Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City of Sunny Isles Beach's major programs. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on the City of Sunny Isles Beach's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133 and the Florida Single Audit Act.
