Independent Auditors’ Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program; Report on Internal Control Over Compliance; and Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Long Beach, California:
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Long Beach, California’s (the City’s) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2021.
The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
The City's financial statements include the operations of the Long Beach Transportation Company, the discretely presented component unit, which expended $31,442,415 in federal awards , which is not included in the City’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended September 30, 2021. Our audit, described below, did not include the operations of the discretely presented component unit because Long Beach Transportation Company engaged other auditors to perform an audit in accordance with Title 2 U.S.
Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. 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 the audit requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Those standards and the Uniform Guidance 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 the City’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 on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2021.

2 Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of noncompliance that is required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2021-001. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters.
The City’s response to the noncompliance finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City is also responsible for preparing a corrective action plan to address each audit finding included in our auditors’ report. The City’s response and corrective action plan were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response or the corrective action plan.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program 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 internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s 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 cour se 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.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we did identify a deficiency in internal control over compliance, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2021-001, that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
The City’s response to the internal control over compliance finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City is also responsible for preparing a corrective action plan to address each audit finding included in our auditors’ report. The City’s response and corrective action plan were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response or the corrective action plan.
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.
3 Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the government activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated March 29, 2022, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. 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.

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
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Long Beach, 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 the City of Long Beach, California (the City) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 29, 2022. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of Long Beach Public Transportation Company (the Company), which is the City’s only discretely presented component unit, as described in our report on the City’s basic financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements, we considered the City’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 basic financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’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. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s basic 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 5 instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
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 City’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 City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
September 30, 2021
14 (1) General
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City of Long Beach, California (the City). All federal financial assistance received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal financial assistance passed through to the City by other government agencies, has been included in the Schedule. The Schedule did not include federal expenditures of $31,442,415 for the year ended September 30, 2021 of the Long Beach Transportation Company (the Company), a discretely presented component unit of the City, as the Company engaged other auditors to perform audits in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. The City’s reporting entity is defined in note 1 to the City’s basic financial statements. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. These items are reported as negative amounts within the Schedule and represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reports as expenditures in prior years. (3) Community-based Loan Programs with Continuing Compliance The City considers loans advanced to eligible participants for the Community Development Block Grant/ Entitlement Grants (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to have continuing compliance requirements. As such, the amounts reported in the Schedule for the CDBG and HOME programs include current-year disbursements as well as the balance of the beginning of the year of loans with continuing compliance requirements.

(3) Findings and Questioned Costs Relating to Federal Awards Finding 2021-001
Federal Program Title – COVID-19 Airport Improvement Program Assistance Listing No. – 20.106
Federal Agency – U.S. Department of Transportation – Direct Program Federal Award Number – 30601270472020
Grant Award Periods – May 7, 2020 to May 6, 2024
Compliance Requirement – Reporting
Criteria:
As set forth in 2 CFR 200.328, the Federal Financial Report, SF 425, must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the federal award, but no less frequently than annually nor more frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances.
In addition, 2 CFR 200.303 requires nonfederal entities to, among other things, establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the nonfederal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award.
Conditions Found:
The City did not have an effective system of internal control in place to ensure the reports that are required to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation were accurate. We selected a sample of nine reports and determined that one report omitted $18.4 million in payroll and payroll-related costs of which $3.6 million are costs incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Questioned Costs:
There are no questioned costs.
CITY OF LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
September 30, 2021
17 Context:
The City is required to submit annual federal financial reports related to the Airport Improvement Program that include all disbursements for direct charges for property and services; the amount of indirect expense incurred; and the net increase or decrease in the amounts owed by the recipient for (1) goods and other property received; (2) services performed by employees, contractors, subrecipients, and other payees; and (3) programs for which no current services or performance are required.
Cause and Effect:
City management indicated that interpretation of the reporting requirements was that payments made to employees for services provided were required to be omitted from the SF 425 report. As a result, the reports submitted omitted $18.4 million in payroll and payroll-related costs.
Repeat Finding:
A similar finding was not reported in the prior-year audit.
Statistical Sampling:
The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample.
Recommendations:
We recommend the City strengthen processes and internal controls to ensure the City has an effective internal control in place to ensure that reports are complete and accurate prior to submitting to the U.S.
Department of Transportation as required.
View of Responsible Official:
The subject Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant for COVID-19 related funding was used solely for internal City payroll-related expenditures and debt service payments, which is different from other previous AIP grants received by the Airport Department. The misinterpretation of reporting requirements for the new grant led to an error on the Federal Financial Report SF 425. The Airport Department will be providing more training to staff that are involved with the preparation, review and approval of the reports to reduce the risk of misinterpreting reporting requirements. The Airport Department will also strengthen internal controls by requiring at least two levels of review for Federal Financial Report SF 425, prior to submission.
These improvements to the process will ensure that reports are complete and accurate.
