INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
July 15, 1996
Members of the Board of Supervisors
Hancock County, Mississippi
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Hancock County, Mississippi, as of and for
the year ended September 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated July 15, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement.
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to Hancock County, Mississippi, is
the responsibility of the county's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the
general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the county's

compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of our
audit of the general purpose financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such
provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported herein
under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain immaterial instances of noncompliance that we have reported to the management of
Hancock County, Mississippi, in our Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance With State Laws and
Regulations dated July 15, 1996, included within this document.

This report is intended for the use of the management and the appropriate grantor agencies. This is not
intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.

Members of the Board of Supervisors
Hancock County, Mississippi
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Hancock County, Mississippi, as of and for
the year ended September 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated July 15, 1996.
We have applied procedures to test Hancock County, Mississippi's compliance with the following

requirements applicable to its federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule of
Federal Financial Assistance under Supplemental Information, as listed in the table of contents, for the year
ended September 30, 1995:
General Requirements:
Political Activity
Davis-Bacon Act
Civil Rights
Cash Management
Federal Financial Reports
Administrative Requirements

Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and
Budget's Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments. Our procedures were
substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on Hancock
County, Mississippi's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of
noncompliance with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this report. With respect to items not
tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that Hancock County, Mississippi, had not
complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. Also, the results of our procedures did not disclose
any immaterial instances of noncompliance with those requirements.

Hancock County, Mississippi
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Hancock County, Mississippi, as of and for
the year ended September 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated July 15, 1996.
In connection with our audit of the general purpose financial statements of Hancock County,

control structure used to administer federal financial assistance programs, as required by Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments, we selected certain transactions
applicable to certain nonmajor federal financial assistance programs for the year ended September 30, 1995.
As required by OMB Circular A-128, we have performed auditing procedures to test compliance with
the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed that are applicable to those transactions. Our

on Hancock County, Mississippi's compliance with these requirements. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of
noncompliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested,
nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that Hancock County, Mississippi, had not complied, in
all material respects, with those requirements. Also, the results of our procedures did not disclose any
immaterial instances of noncompliance with those requirements.
