REPORT ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Shorewood, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended
December 31,2004, and have issued our report thereon dated April 14, 2005.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota statutes, section 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers six main categories of compliance to be tested:
contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements and
miscellaneous provisions. Our study included all of the listed categories.
The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable
legal provisions.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Council, others within the City and the Minnesota
Office of the State Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
