The County has prepared the CAFR in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A). The letter of transmittal in this report is designed to compliment the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. 

The 2008 CAFR is presented in three sections:

The Introductory Section - includes the transmittal letter, the County's organizational chart, and a list of principal County officials, information on the County's economy, major initiatives and services.

The Financial Section - prepared in accordance with the GAAP and includes the MD&A, the basic financial statements, including the notes and the Required Supplementary Information. The Independent Auditors' Report on the basic financial statements is also included in this section.

The Statistical Section - includes select unaudited financial, economic and demographic data depicting historical information on the County, along with other information that would be of interest to potential bond investors, creditors and other readers.
