The programs tested are identified in the summary of audit results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each program is the responsibility of Town of Southold's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Town of Southold'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 Draft Part 43 of NYCRR. Those standards and Draft Part 43 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 the state transportation assistance programs tested occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Town of Southold'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 Town of Southold's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the Town of Southold complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to its state transportation assistance programs tested for the year ended December 31, 2008.

ALBRECHT, VIGGIANO, ZURECK & COMPANY, PC 245 PARK AVENUE, 24TH FLOOR 25 SUFFOLK COURT NEWYORK, NY 10167 HAUPPAUGE, NY11788 3715 T:212792.4075 · 631 434 9500 F:6314349518 WWW avz COFQ Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the Town of Southold, New York is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to state transportation assistance programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Southold's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a state transportation assistance 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 the Town of Southold's internal control over compliance. A control deficiency in an entity's intemal control over compliance 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 noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a state program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. 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 matedaf weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Schedule of State Transportation Assistance Expended We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Southotd, New York as of and for the year ended December 31,2008, and have issued our report thereon dated December 16, 2009. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming our opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Town of Southold, New York's basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of state transpodation assistance expended is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Draft Part 43 of NYCRR, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, Town Board, and New York State Department of Transportation.
