INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S 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
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
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 Bangor, Maine as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of
Bangor,Maine’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 30, 2018.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Bangor,
Maine’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Bangor,
Maine’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of
Bangor, Maine’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 City’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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S 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, CONTINUED
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Bangor, Maine's 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 determination of financial statement amounts. 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 instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we have reported to the management of the City of Bangor, Maine in a
separate letter dated January 30, 2018.
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
entity’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 entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR DEPARTMENT AGREEMENT;
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF DEPARTMENT AGREEMENTS REQUIRED BY MAINE UNIFORM ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING
PRACTICES FOR COMMUNITY AGENCIES
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
Report on Compliance for Each Major Department Agreement
We have audited the City of Bangor, Maine’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in Maine Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies that could have
direct and material effect on each of the City of Bangor, Maine’s major department agreements for the
year ended June 30, 2017. The City of Bangor, Maine's major department agreements are identified in
the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, contracts, and the terms
and conditions of its awards applicable to its department agreements.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City of Bangor, Maine's major
department agreements 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 Maine Uniform Accounting and
Auditing Practices for Community Agencies. Those standards and Maine Uniform Accounting and
Auditing Practices for Community Agencies, 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 department agreement
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Bangor, Maine’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
department agreement. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City of
Bangor, Maine’s compliance.

PRACTICES FOR COMMUNITY AGENCIES, CONTINUED
Opinion on Each Major Department Agreement
In our opinion, the City of Bangor, Maine 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
department agreements identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs for the year ended June 30, 2017.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the City of Bangor, Maine 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 of Bangor, Maine’s internal
control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on
each major department agreement to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major department
agreement and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with Maine
Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies, 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 of Bangor, Maine’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 course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a department agreement on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or 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 department agreement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a department agreement
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. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
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
Maine Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies. Accordingly, this report is
not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Department Agreements Required by Maine Uniform
Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Bangor, Maine as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Bangor, Maine’s basic financial
statements. We issued our report thereon dated January 30, 2018, 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 department agreements is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
required by Maine Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies 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 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 department agreements is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs, Continued
Section IV –Status of Prior Year Audit Findings
2016-001 -Noncompliance with Cash Management Requirements for Agreement CDC 16-337
Criteria -The agreement for CDC 16-337 requires the grantee to comply with cash management requirements
and those requirements extend to subrecipients of the grant.
Condition -The City’s subrecipients did not spend grant proceeds in a timely manner and had cash on-hand for
at least half of the fiscal year.
Known Questioned Costs -None
Likely Questioned Costs -None
Cause -The City did not ensure that subrecipients adhered to cash management requirements.
Recommendations -We recommend that the City prepare its subrecipient agreements in a way that ensures
subrecipients will not have excess cash on hand. In addition, the City should implement procedures for monitoring
the subrecipients’ compliance with cash management.
Current year status –This finding was corrected and not repeated in the current year.
2016-002 -Noncompliance with Budget Requirements for Agreement CDC 15-1049
Criteria -MAAP regulations require a community agency to obtain a budget revision in the event that the total
expenses per subcontract vary from the budgeted amount by at least ten percent or $1,000, whichever is greater.
Condition -The City paid amounts to the subrecipients that were less than the amounts budgeted, which by
individual contract and in the aggregate were less by both ten percent and $1,000.
Known Questioned Costs -None
Likely Questioned Costs -None
Cause -The City did not request a budget amendment as required.
Recommendations -Although total expenses were under budget and no questioned costs were identified, we
nevertheless recommend that the City be sure to request budget revisions in the future, if agreement expenses in
any category are expected to vary from budgeted levels by more than the allowable variance.
Current year status -This finding was corrected and not repeated in the current year.
