INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Honorable Stephen H. Hagerty, Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Evanston, Illinois
Report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) of
the City of Evanston, Illinois (City), for the year ended December 31, 201 7 and the related notes
to the Schedule.
Management’s Responsibility for the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Schedule in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the Schedule that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Schedule based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with 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; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S.
Code of Federal Regulation Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform
Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the Schedule is free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the Schedule. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Schedule, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the Schedule in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Schedule.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
2
Opinion
In our opinion, the Schedule referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the respective
expenditures of federal awards of the City for the year ended December 31, 201 7 in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance),
we have also issued our report dated September 4, 2018, on our consideration of the City’s
compliance for each major program and on internal control over compliance required by the
Uniform Guidance. The purpose of that report is 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. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance wi th the Uniform
Guidance and should be read in conjunction with this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
The Honorable Stephen H. Hagerty, Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Evanston, Illinois
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Evanston, Illinois (City) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on the City’s major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2017. The City’s
major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for 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 general ly 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
Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (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 inc ludes
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.
9
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 December 31, 2017 .
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 cou rse 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 combinati on 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. 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 the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.
