Cabarrus County's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings, Responses, and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of Cabarrus County's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Cabarrus 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 OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, and the State Single Audit Implementation Act 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 Cabarrus 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 Cabarrus County's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, Cabarrus County complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2009. 730 13th Avenue Drive SE ~ Hickory, North Carolina 286021 Phone 828-327-2727 ~ Fax 828-328-2324 13 South Center Street ~ Taylorsville, North Carolina 28681 • Phone 828-632-9025 ~ Fax 828-632-9085 Toll Free Both Locations 1-800-948-0585 ~ Website: www.martinstarnes.com 143 Attachment number 3 G-8 Page 423
