BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The City annually prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). In accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, the financial statements within the City's CAFR must be audited on an annual basis. Said audit has
been completed by BerganKDV, who was present at the 6pm special meeting on June 8, 2020 to review the
results of the audit with the City Council. A short summary on each of the three documents attached (were
received by the Council for the 6PM special meeting) is below:
CAFR
This is a comprehensive document regarding the finances of the City of Otsego and is prepared by the City.
The CAFR includes narrative discussion, financial statements, note disclosures, statistical tables, and much
more. Maybe the most important aspect of the CAFR is the Independent Auditor's Report which is issued
by BerganKDV. The audit report outlines that the City has received an Unmodified opinion, also known as a
clean opinion, and is the best opinion that can be given.
Communications Letter
This document is prepared by BerganKDV and is a blend of required communications and summary
financial analysis. This was the primary source for the discussion at the 6pm special meeting.
Reports on Compliance

document contains two separate components:
