SYNOPSIS
In
our audit of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), we noted no matters
involving internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we
consider to be a material weakness.
Further, the results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance or other matters required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standards. However, we did
note certain other matters, which we have reported to the management of the
CTA in a separate letter.
This
report digest covers our financial audit and federal single audit for the
year ended December 31, 2005. Our
performance audit and compliance attestation examination, as directed by
House Resolution Number 479, will be issued separately at a later date.
AUDITORS’ OPINION
Our
auditors stated that the basic financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the business-type and fiduciary
activities of the CTA as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for
the years then ended.
