Report on Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities,
the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
Taney County, Missouri, as o f and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note A; this includes determining that the modified
cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the
circumstances. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements 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 the 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of
the risks o f material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the County’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements 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 County’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 financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
modified cash basis financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, the discretely
presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information, as of December 31,
2015, and the respective changes in modified cash basis financial position and cash flows thereof where
applicable, for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note A.

Basis of Accounting

As described in Note A, Taney County prepares its financial statements on the modified cash basis, which is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Disclaimer of Opinion on Supplementary Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Taney County, Missouri’s basic financial statements. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis,
budgetary comparison information, and pension information, which are the responsibility of management, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements. Such
information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

Other Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Taney County, Missouri’s basic financial statements. The Combining Nonmajor fund financial
statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of
additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code o f Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements; Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements fo r Federal Awards, and is also not a

Taney County
Forsyth, Missouri

The Combining Nonmajor fund financial statements and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are
the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the Combining Nonmajor fund financial statements and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 30, 2016, on our
consideration of Taney County’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering Taney County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
DECEMBER 31,2015

Our discussion and analysis of Taney County’s financial performance provides an overview of the County’s
financial activities for the year ended December 31, 2015, within the limitations of the County’s modified cash
basis of accounting. Please read it in conjunction with the County’s financial statements.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• The overall net position o f the County increased by $4,062,310. The sales tax increased at a
healthy rate and sewer capital improvement expenditures decreased from the prior year.
• The fund balance for the General Fund decreased by $138,031; this is an improvement over
fiscal year 2014.
• The fund balance for the Road and Bridge Fund was separated into two funds to better track
capital improvements; separating the funds makes it more difficult to see the total amount
available to spend on the County’s roads and bridges. The total increase between both Road and
Bridge Funds was $1,532,721.

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT

This annual report is presented in a format consistent with the presentation requirements of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 as applicable to the County’s modified cash basis of
accounting.

Report Components

Government-Wide Financial Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
provide information about the activities of the County as a whole and present a longer-term view of the
County’s finances.

Fund Financial Statements: Fund financial statements focus on the individual parts of the County
government. Fund financial statements also report the County operations in more detail than the government-
wide statements by providing information about the County’s major funds. These statements tell how these
services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending.

Notes to the Financial Statements: The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of the
government-wide and fund financial statements and provide expanded explanation and detail regarding the
information reported in the statements.

Supplementary Information: This Management’s Discussion and Analysis, pension information and the
budgetary comparison schedules represent additional financial information. Such information provides users of
this report with additional data that supplements the government-wide statements, fund financial statements,
and notes (referred to as “the basic financial statements”).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2015

Other Financial Information: This part of the annual report includes optional financial information, which
includes the combining statements for the County’s nonmajor funds and reports required by the Federal
Government. This other financial information is provided to address certain needs of various users of the
County’s annual report.

Basis of Accounting

The County has elected to present its financial statements on the modified cash basis of accounting. This
modified cash basis of accounting is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Basis of accounting is a reference to when financial events are recorded, such
as the timing for recognizing receipts, disbursements, and their related assets and liabilities. Under the
County’s modified cash basis of accounting, receipts and disbursements and the related assets are recorded
when they result from cash transactions. The modification to the cash basis relates to the presentation of
investments.

As a result of the use o f the modified cash basis of accounting, certain assets and their related revenue (such as
accounts receivable billed or services provided not yet collected) and liabilities and their related expenses (such
as accounts payable and expenses for goods and services received but not yet paid, and accrued expenses and
liabilities) are not recorded in these financial statements. Therefore, when reviewing the financial information
and discussion within this annual report, the reader should keep in mind the limitations resulting from the use of
the modified cash basis of accounting.

Government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities

One of the most important questions asked about the County’s finances is, “Is the County as a whole better off
or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?”. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
report information about the County as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question.
These statements include all o f the County’s assets resulting from the use of the modified cash basis of
accounting.

The statements report the County’s net position and changes in it. Over time, increases and decreases in the
County’s net position are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. However,
the reader will need to consider other non-financial factors, such as changes in the County tax base, and the
condition o f the County’s facilities, to assess the overall health of the County.

The Statement of Activities is presented by its governmental functions which include general government,
judicial, public safety, public works, health and welfare, highway and roads, other activities and transfer station.
The Statement of Activities shows the net cost of these functions before considering the general receipts of the
County.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Fund Financial Statements

The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the County’s funds. These funds are required
to be established by state law and by bond covenants. These fund financial statements help the reader to
determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future for County
programs.

• Governmental Funds - Most of the County’s basic services are reported in governmental funds,
which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end
that are available for spending. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term
view of the County’s general government operations and the basic services it provides.
Governmental fund information helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer
financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the County’s programs.

• Proprietary Funds - When the County charges customers for the services it provides - whether to
outside customers or to other units of the County - these services are generally reported in
proprietary funds.

TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2015

The County has always budgeted so that if there is a need that arises they are covered without having to revisit
the budget process. The Commission has determined to do a better job of budgeting what we will have as a
fund balance to carry forward, but there are several of the minor funds that are controlled by other elected
officials and it makes sense to budget and appropriate the entire amount in those funds in case they are needed
by those officials. We, as a County, have done a better job of applying expenses when they are actually
expended instead of using a contingency fund as an expense line. This should make the County’s budget more
accurate and help the County use it as a tool for controls.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET

Our economy has improved and the County is hoping for, and expecting, a better year in 2016. We still have
many financial difficulties including healthcare, increased cost of operations due to payroll costs, and general
expectations of service. Several offices are working under conditions that the private sector would consider
vastly understaffed. We have a very healthy benefits package, but the cost of that is continuing to rise. It is
important for us to begin looking more closely at the future to ensure the continued financial health of the
County.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Taney County, Missouri (the County) is a county of the 1st class and operates under a three-member County
Commission.

The accounting methods and procedures adopted by the primary government of Taney County, Missouri,
conform to the modified cash basis of accounting as applied to governmental entities. The following is a
summary of the more significant policies.

Financial Reporting Entity

The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government, (b) organizations for which the primary
government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the primary government is not
accountable, but for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are
such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government
are financially accountable. Financially accountable means the primary government is accountable for the
component unit and the primary government is able to impose its will or the component unit may provide
financial benefits or impose a burden on the primary government. In addition, component units can be other
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such
that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

The County is a primary government, which is governed by a three member county commission. As required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the County has evaluated the
above criteria to determine whether any other entity meets the definition of a component unit and must be
included in these financial statements. The component units discussed below are included in the County’s
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the County.

Component Units

Taney County Health Center

The Taney County Health Center, which is governed by an elected Board of Directors, provides public health
services to the residents of Taney County. The Taney County Health Center is included in the financial
statements of the County as a component unit due to its financial relationship with the County.

The Taney County Health Center issues separate financial statements. The Taney County Health Center’s
financial statements may be obtained by contacting the Center at (417) 546-4725.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The government-wide statements display information about the primary government and its component units.
Interfund activity has been eliminated from these statements to minimize the duplication of internal activities.
Governmental activities, which are supported by taxes and intergovernmental receipts, are reported separately
from business-type activities, which rely on fees and charges for services for support.

In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, both the governmental and business-type activities are
consolidated and presented on the modified cash basis of accounting.

The government-wide Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct disbursements and program
receipts for each function of the County’s governmental and business-type activities. Direct disbursements are
those that are specifically associated with a program or a function. Program receipts include charges for goods
or services offered by the programs and grants and contributions that are restricted to meet operating and capital
disbursements of a particular program. Receipts that are not classified as program receipts, including all taxes,
are presented as general receipts.

FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Separate fund financial statements report information on the County’s governmental and proprietary funds. The
emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a
separate column. All remaining funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds in their respective
categories.

28
TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The County reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account
for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Road and Bridge Trust Fund: The Road and Bridge Trust Fund of the County is used to account for
resources restricted for highway and road disbursements.

Road and Bridge Fund: The Road and Bridge Fund of the County is used to account for motor
vehicle and gas tax receipts designated for highway and road improvements.

Law Enforcement Sales Tax Fund: The Law Enforcement Sales Tax Fund of the County is used to
account for resources restricted for law enforcement disbursements.

County Sewer Sales Tax Fund: The County Sewer Sales Tax Fund of the County is used to account
for resources restricted for sewer related disbursements.

The County also reports the following fund types:

Agency funds account for miscellaneous assets held by the County for other funds, governmental
units, and individuals. The agency funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of
results of operations.

The County reports the following major proprietary fund:

Transfer Station Fund: The Transfer Station Fund of the County is used to account for the County’s
waste collection operations.

Basis of Accounting

The government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities and the fund financial statements
are presented using the modified cash basis of accounting. This basis recognizes assets, net position/fund
equity, receipts, and disbursements when they result from cash transactions. The cash basis has been modified
to include investments of the County. This basis is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As a result of the use of this modified cash basis of accounting, certain assets and their related revenues (such as
accounts receivable and revenue for billed or provided services not yet collected) and certain liabilities and their
related expenses (such as accounts payable and expenses for goods or services received but not yet paid, and
accrued expenses and liabilities) are not recorded in these financial statements. Also, as a result of the
modified cash basis, capital assets and long-term debt are not presented in the financial statements.

29
TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

If the County utilized the basis of accounting recognized as generally accepted, the fund financial statements for
the governmental funds would use the modified accrual basis of accounting. All govemment-wide financial
statements and proprietary fund financial statements would be presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Investments

The County pools cash and investment resources of various funds in the County Treasurer’s office in order to
facilitate the management of cash and investments. Cash applicable to a particular fund is readily identifiable.
Some County offices also hold cash and investments in their own separate bank accounts as required by state
statute. The balance in the pooled cash account is available to meet current operating requirements.
Investments of the County are carried at cost and include U.S. Government Agency obligations and Certificates
of Deposit.

Fund Balance Classification

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report aggregate amounts for five classifications of fund
balances based on constraints imposed on the use of these resources as follows:

Nonspendable fund balance ~ This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because
they are either a) not in spendable form or b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.

Restricted fund balance - This classification reflects the constraints imposed on resources either
a) externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or
b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed fund balance - These amounts can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by formal resolutions of the County Commission - the government’s highest
level of decision making authority. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other
purpose unless the Commission removes the specified use by taking the same type of action
imposing the commitment.

Assigned fund balance - This classification reflects the amounts constrained by the County’s
“intent” to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Assigned fund
balances include all remaining amounts (except negative balances) that are reported in the
governmental funds, other than the General Fund, that are not classified as nonspendable and are
neither restricted nor committed.

Unassigned fund balance - This fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund.
It is also used to report negative fond balances in other governmental funds.

30
TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In circumstances when a disbursement is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund
balance classifications, fund balance is depleted in the order of restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.

Net Position

In the government-wide financial statements, equity is displayed, when applicable, in two components as
follows:

Restricted - This consists of net position that is legally restricted by outside parties or by law
through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted - This consists of net position that does not meet the definition of restricted.

When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available,
the County first applies restricted net position.

Compensated Absences

The County has a county-wide policy on vacation and sick leave for all employees. Leave is taken at the
discretion of each officeholder. The accumulated liability for compensated absences as of December 31, 2015,
was $163,623.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the County considers all accounts subject to withdrawal by check
or on demand to be cash and cash equivalents. All other deposits are considered to be investments.

Net Patient Service Revenue

The Taney County Health Center has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the
Health Center at amounts different from its established rates. Services rendered to Medicaid program
beneficiaries are reimbursed prospectively at the Medicaid per diem rate in effect with no settlement made on
the difference between the interim per diem rates paid and actual costs.

The financial statements were prepared using the modified cash basis of accounting. Therefore, employee and
employer contributions are recognized when paid and the County’s net pension liability, deferred outflows and
inflows of resources related to pensions are not recorded in these financial statements.

NOTE B - CASH AND INVESTMENTS

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund’s portion of
this pool is displayed on the Statement of Net Position as “Cash and investments”. In addition, investments are
separately held by several of the County’s funds. State statutes require that County deposits be fully
collateralized in the name of the County. As of December 31, 2015, all bank balances on deposit were entirely
insured or collateralized with securities.

County Investments

Statutes authorize the County to invest in investments that are:

a. Obligations of the U.S. government, the State of Missouri, this county;
b. In bonds, bills, notes, debentures or other obligations guaranteed as to payment of principal and
interest by the government of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or the

Custodial Credit Risk

Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party, the County will not be able
to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party.
Certificates of deposit are classified as investments but are considered deposits for custodial risk determination.
State statutes require that the County’s deposits be collateralized in the name of the County by the trust
department of a bank that does not hold the collateralized deposits. As of December 31, 2015, all Certificates of
Deposit are entirely insured or collateralized with securities.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the County will not recover its investments due to the inability of the counter party to
fulfill their obligations. The County also holds investments in several U.S. Government agency obligations.
These investments are stated at historical cost and are rated AA+ by Standard and Poor’s.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of the County’s investments will decrease as a result of increase in
interest rates. The County will minimize the risk that the market value of fixed income securities in the
portfolio will fall due to changes in the general interest rates by structuring the investment portfolio so that fixed
income securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations and by investing operating funds
primarily in shorter term fixed income securities.

Federal and State Grants

The County participates in a number of federal and state programs that are fully or partially funded by grants
received from other governmental units. Disbursements financed by grants are subject to audit by the
appropriate grantor government. If disbursements are disallowed due to noncompliance with grant program
regulations, the County may be required to reimburse the grantor government. As of December 31, 2015,
significant amounts of grant disbursements have not been audited by grantor governments, but the County
believes that disallowed disbursements, if any, based on subsequent audits, will not have a material effect on
any of the individual government funds or the overall financial position of the County.

Legal Matters

There are a number of claims and/or lawsuits to which the County is a party as a result of certain injuries and
various other matters and complaints arising in the ordinary course of County activities. The County’s
management and legal counsel anticipate that the potential claims, if any, against the County resulting from
such litigation would not have a material effect on the financial position of the County, except for the legal
matter noted below.

The County is currently involved in appealing the Herion case in which $495,556 was awarded to the plaintiff
for breach of contract.

General Information about the Pension Plan

Plan Description. Taney County of Missouri’s defined benefit pension plan provides certain retirement and
death benefits to its members. The County participates in the State of Missouri County Employees1Retirement
Fund (CERF). CERF is a mandatory cost-sharing multiple employer retirement system for each county in the
state of Missouri, except any city not within a county (which excludes the City of St. Louis) and counties of the
first classification with a charter form of government.

NOTE D - EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN - CERF ~ PRIMARY GOVERNMENT (continued)

CERF covers county elective or appointive officers or employees whose position requires the actual
performance of duties not less than 1,000 hours per year; including employees of circuit courts located in a first
class, non-charter county which is not participating in the Local Government Employees Retirement System
(LAGERS); and does not cover circuit clerks, deputy circuit clerks, county prosecuting attorneys, and county
sheriffs. Until January 1, 2000, employees hired before January 1, 2000 could opt out of the system.

CERF was established by an act of the Missouri General Assembly effective August 28,1994 and administered
in accordance with RSMo, 50,1000 - 50.1300. As such, it is CERFs responsibility to administer the law in
accordance expressed intent of the General Assembly, The plan as amended through November 1, 2010 is in a
form acceptable under the Internal Revenue Code. The responsibility for the operations and administration of
CERF is vested in the CERF Board of Directors consisting of eleven members. The Board of Directors has the
authority to adopt rules and regulations for administering the system.

CERF issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information. This report may be obtained by accessing the CERF website at www.mocerf.org.

Benefits Provided. CERF provides retirement and death benefits to its members. All benefits vest after 8 years
of creditable service. Employees who retire on or after age 62 are entitled to an allowance for life based on the
form of payment selected, The normal form of payment is a single life annuity. Optional joint and survivor
annuity and 10-year certain and life annuity payments are also offered to members in order to provide benefits
to a named survivor annuitant after their death. Employees who have a minimum of 8 years of creditable
service may retire with an early retirement benefit and receive a reduced allowance after attaining age 55.
Benefit provisions are fixed by state statute and may be amended only by action of the Missouri Legislature,

Cost-of-Living Adjustments ( “COLA”). The Missouri Legislature has established a policy o f providing an
annual increase in the retirement benefit of the lesser of 1% and the February increase in CPI with the increase
to take effect each July. The first increase will occur in the year following retirement so long as the retiree has
been receiving benefits for at least one year on July 1st. The total of all increases shall not exceed 50% of the
initial benefit.

Contributions. Prior to January 1, 2003, participating county employees, except for those who participated in
LAGERS, were required to make contributions equal to 2% of gross compensation. Effective January 1, 2003,
participated county employees hired on or after February 25, 2002 are required to make contributions of 4% if
they are in a LAGERS county and contributions of 6% if they are in a non-LAGERS county. If an employee
leaves covered employment before attaining 8 years of creditable service, accumulated employee contributions
are refunded to the employee. The contribution rate is set by state statute and may be amended only by action
of the Missouri Legislature. Counties may elect to make all or a portion of the required 4% contribution on
behalf of employees. Eligible employees of the employer contribute 4% to the pension plan. The employer did
not elect to make all or a portion of the required 4% contribution on behalf of the employee.

In addition to the above contributions required of employees, the following fees and penalties prescribed under
Missouri law are required to be collected and remitted to CERF by countiescovered by the plan:

® Late fees on filing of personal property tax declarations,
• Twenty dollars on each merchants and manufacturers license issued,
• Six dollars on each document recorded or filed with county recorders of deeds, with an
additional one dollar on each document recorded,
® Three sevenths of the fee on delinquent property taxes, and
• Interest earned on investment of the above collections prior to remittance to CERF

During 2015 and 2014, the County collected and remitted to CERF, employee contributions of $194,590 and
$218,985, respectively, for the years then ended. The County’s contributions to CERF were $698,027 for the
year ended December 31, 2015.

Pension Liability. At December 31, 2015, the County had a liability of $4,167,047 for its proportionate share of
the net pension liability. The net pension liability for the plan in total was measured as of December 31, 2014,
and determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The County’s proportionate share of the total net
pension liability was based on the ratio of its actual contributions of $706,349 paid to CERF for the year ended
December 31, 2014, relative to the actual contributions of $19,781,513 from all participating employers. At
December 31, 2014, the County’ proportionate share was 3.5708%.

Actuarial Assumptions. Actuarial valuations of the Plan involve estimates of the reported amount and
assumptions about probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about
future employment, mortality and future compensation increases. Amounts determined regarding the net
pension liability are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new
estimates are made about the future.

The actuarial assumptions are based on an experience study covering the period January 1, 2002, through
December 31, 2007. A new experience study was recently completed for the period January 1, 2008, through
December 31, 2013. However, assumption changes that were otherwise indicated have not been adopted
because of the aberrant economic conditions during that time period.

The total pension liability as of December 31, 2014, was based on the most recent actuarial valuation as of
December 31,2013, rolled forward to December 31,2014, using the following actuarial assumptions:

• Measurement date - December 31, 2014
• Valuation date - December 31, 2014
• Actuarial cost method - Entry age

seniority. Total average increases, including inflation, are approximately 5.3%
• Mortality rates - RP 2000 table separately for males and females projected for mortality
improvement through 2010.
• Fiduciary Net Position - CERF issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at

The long-term expected rate of return on the Plan’s investments was determined using a building-block method
in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of returns (expected returns, net of investment
expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the
long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflations. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class included in the Plan’s target allocation as of June 30, 2013 is summarized below along
with the long term geometric return. Geometric return (also referred to as the time weighted return) is
considered standard practice within the investment management industry. Geometric returns represent the
compounded rate of growth of a portfolio. This method eliminates the effects created by cash flows.

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 8.0%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the
current statutory rates and that contributions from employers will be made based on the Plan’s revenue sources
(various fees and penalties paid by the counties). Such revenue was assumed to increase at the rate of 1.0% per
year. This increase assumption has been used by the Plan in prior funding status projects. Historically, revenue
increase has averaged more than 1.0% per year. Based on the assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members. The
projections covered an 80-year period into the future. The long-term expected rate of return on the Plan’s
investments was applied to projected benefit payments.

Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability in the February 28, 2015, actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 3.5% wage inflation; 3,0% price inflation
Salary Increase 3.5% to 6.8% including wage inflation for general and police
Investment rate of return 7.25%, net of investment and administrative expenses

Mortality rates were based on the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table set back 3 years for both males and
females.

The actuarial assumptions used in the February 28, 2015, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period March 1, 2005, through February 28, 2010.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a model method in
which the best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment
expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the
long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimate of arithmetic
real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Equity 48.50% 5.50%
Fixed Income 25.00% 2.25%
Real Assets 20.00% 4.50%
Strategic Assets 6.50% 7.50%

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability is 7.25%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumes that employer and employee contributions will be made at
the rates agreed upon for employees and the actuarially determined rates for employers. Based on these
assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to pay all projected future
benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payment to determine the total pension
liability.

as established by LAGERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the
cost of benefits earned by employees during the year. With an additional amount to finance an unfunded
accrued liability. Full-time employees of the employer do not contribute to the pension plan. Employer
contribution rates are 10.9% (General) of annual covered payroll.

Net Pension Liability. The employer’s net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
February 28,2015,

Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability in the February 28,2015, actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 3.5% wage inflation; 3.0% price inflation
Salary Increase 3.5% to 6.8% including wage inflation for general
Investment rate of return 7.25%, net of investment and administrative expenses

Mortality rates were based on the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table set back 3 years for both males and
females.

The actuarial assumptions used in the February 28, 2015, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period March 1, 2005, through February 28, 2010.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a model method in
which the best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment
expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the
long-term expected rate o f return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimate of arithmetic
real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Fixed Income 25.00% 2.25%
Real Assets 20.00% 4.50%
Strategic Assets 6.50% 7.50%

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability is 7.25%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumes that employer and employee contributions will be made at
the rates agreed upon for employees and the actuarially determined rates for employers. Based on these
assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to pay all projected future
benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payment to determine the total pension
liability.

Valuation Date: February 28,2015.

Notes: The roll-forward of total pension liability from February 28, 2015, to June 30, 2015, reflects expected
service cost and interest reduced by actual benefit payments and administrative expenses.

Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Contribution Rates

Actuarial Cost Method - Entry Age Normal

Amortization Method - Level Percentage of Payroll, Closed

Remaining Amortization Period - Multiple bases from 14 to 20 years

Asset Valuation Method - 5-Year smoothed market; 20% corridor

Inflation - 3.5% wage inflation; 3.0% price inflation

Salary Increases - 3.5% to 6.8% including wage inflation for the general and police division

Investment Rate o f Return ~ 7.25%, net of investment and administrative expenses

Retirement Age - Experience-based table of rates that are specific to the type of eligibility condition

Mortality - 105% o f the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table set back 0 years for men and 0 years for women.
Based upon experience observed during the most recent 5-year period study, it appears that the current table
provides for an approximate 13% margin for future mortality improvement.

NOTE TO BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULES
December 31, 2015

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

The County follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:

1) In accordance with Chapter 67, RSMo, the County adopts a budget for each fund.

2) Prior to January, the County Auditor, who serves as the Budget Officer, submits to the
Commission a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following January 1. The
budget includes estimated receipts and proposed disbursements for all County funds.
Budgeted disbursements cannot exceed beginning available monies plus estimated receipts
for the year,

3) A public hearing is conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. Prior to its approval by the
Commission, the budget document is available for public inspection.

4) In January, the budget is legally enacted by a vote of the Commission.

5) Subsequent to its formal approval of the budget, the Commission has the authority to make
necessary adjustments to the budget by formal vote of the Commission. Adjustments made
during the year are reflected in the budget information included in the financial statements.
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended by the Commission. Individual
amendments were not material to the original appropriations, which were amended.

6) Budgets for County funds are prepared and adopted on the modified cash basis (budget
basis), recognizing receipts when collected and disbursements when paid.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS* REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON
AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Taney County Commission
Taney County
Forsyth, Missouri

We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type
activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of Taney County, Missouri, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the related notes
to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Taney County, Missouri’s basic financial statements
and have issued our report dated June 30, 2016.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Taney County, Missouri’s
internal control over financial reporting to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Taney County, Missouri’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness o f the County’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weabiess is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the County’s financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in the internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may
exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Taney County, Missouri's financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and
the results o f that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR
EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE

Taney County Commission
Taney County
Forsyth, Missouri

Compliance

We have audited Taney County, Missouri’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in
the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the County’s major federal
programs for the year ended December 31, 2015. Taney County, Missouri's major federal programs are
identified in the summary of audit results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned
costs.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants
applicable to its federal programs.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for Taney County, Missouri's major federal program
based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of
compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States o f 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 o f Federal Regulations 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 includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Taney County, Missouri’s compliance with those requirements and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Forsyth, Missouri

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal
programs. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination on Taney County, Missouri’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, Taney County, Missouri complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal programs for the year ended
December 31, 2015.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance

Management of Taney County, Missouri, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal
programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the County’s internal control over compliance
with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine
our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on
internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County'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 course 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
combination 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 o f 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 o f 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
