Criteria: In accordance with Uniform Guidance Section 200.358, Auditee Responsibilities, and Section
200.510(b), Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the City should report all Federal awards expended
each fiscal year for each individual Federal program and for Federal awards received as a subrecipient, the
name of the pass-through entity and identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity must be included
in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA).
Condition: During our testing of the fiscal year 2024 SEFA provided for audit we noted the following:
1.Federal expenditures for the Highway Planning and Construction Program (AL#20.205) were
overstated by $1,402,731 as follows:
a.$688,120 due to the City including life to date project expenditures for three projects (BPMP-
5177(039), HSIPL-5177 (041) and HSIPL-5177(043)) that had been reported on prior year
SEFAs.
b.$714,611 due to the City including all expenditures incurred on one project (CML-5177
(040)), rather than the actual eligible costs that had been charged to the grant and drawn from
the grantor. Some of the excess costs included expenditures that were not eligible for
reimbursement from the grantor.

SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
Finding Reference Number: SA2024-001 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA)
Preparation (Continued)
2.Federal expenditures for the Aging Cluster, Special Programs for the Aging - Title III, Part B - Grants
for Supportive Services and Senior Centers (AL#93.045) were overstated in the amount of $12,011
and the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services (AL#93.045) were
overstated in the amount of $172 due to the inclusion of non-federal expenditures.
3.Federal expenditures for the Homeland Security Grant Program - Urban Area Security Initiative (AL
#97.067) totaled to $100,000 and the full grant was listed as being passed through to subrecipients,
but there were no subgrants under the program during fiscal year 2024.
4.Various pass-through grants did not include the correct pass-through agency or pass-through
identifying number.
Effect: Overstating annual program expenditures from the SEFA or incorrect reporting not only misstates
the SEFA, it results in noncompliance with the requirements of individual grant agreements and Uniform
Guidance Section 200.358, Auditee Responsibilities, and Section 200.510(b), Schedule of Expenditures of
Federal Awards. As a result, future federal funding could be adversely affected.
Cause: The City’s grant application, monitoring and reporting system is decentralized by department.
Once the grant amounts reported by the different departments are reconciled to the accounting records
maintained by the Finance Department, adjustments are needed to report the correct amounts.
Recommendation: The City must develop procedures and policies to centralize the reporting of grant
activity to ensure that all data is readily available when year-end grant activity reporting is necessary. These
procedures should facilitate the preparation of the SEFA so that annual expenditures for all grant programs
are accurately included on the SEFA. In addition, City staff, including those in departments other than
Finance that manage grants, must familiarize themselves with the guidelines for determining federal awards
expended that are contained in the Uniform Guidance to ensure that only eligible federal expenditures are
reported in the SEFA and prior year expenditures are not duplicated in annual reporting.
View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Please see Corrective Action Plan separately
prepared by the City.
SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
Our audit did not disclose any findings or questioned costs required to be reported in accordance with Uniform
Guidance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of South San Francisco, California
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, the
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of South San Francisco as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2024. Our report includes a reference to
other auditors who audited the financial statements of South San Francisco Conference Center Authority, as
described in our report on the City’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other
auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported
on separately by those auditors.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not
identified. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.
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 weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiencies as
described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as items SA2024-001 to be
material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a 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. We
consider the deficiencies as listed on the Schedule of Significant Deficiencies included as part of our
separately issued Memorandum on Internal Control dated December 19, 2024 to be significant deficiencies,
which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
9
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’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 financial
statements. 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 instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards and which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings
and Questioned Costs as item SA2024-001.
City’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to
the findings identified in our audit and described in our separately issued Memorandum on Internal Control
dated December 19, 2024, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this
report, and described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
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 of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’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 City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE;
AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of South San Francisco, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of South San Francisco’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements
identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect
on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The City’s major federal
programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings
and Questioned Costs.
The City of South San Francisco's basic financial statements include the operations of the South San Francisco
Conference Center Authority, which received no federal awards during the year ended June 30, 2024. Our
audit, described below, did not include the operations of the Authority, because the Authority engaged other
auditors to perform an audit of compliance.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above
that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30,
2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the
audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our
responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance
with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program.
Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws,
statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal
programs.
11
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s
compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government
Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The
risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is
a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of each major
federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
•Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances 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 the City’s internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal
control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on 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 a
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 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.
12
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies
in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in
internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However,
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not
identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control
over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
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.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining funds information of the
City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated December 19,
2024, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our report includes a reference
to other auditors who audited the discretely presented component unit financial statements of the South San
Francisco Conference Center Authority, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, as described in our report
on the City’s financial statements. Our report, in so far as it relates to the results of the other auditors, is based
solely on the report of the other auditors. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the
financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of
expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform
Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements. The 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
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.

Corrective Action Plan: To improve the accuracy of financial reporting for federal expenditures,
Finance staff will compare more closely the initial draft SEFA amounts provided by individual
departments with prior SEFA reports and related workpapers. This step aims to reduce the risk of
overstatements and errors identified by the auditors during the FY23-24 single audit review.
Additionally, Finance staff will collaborate earlier with other departments’ staff to gather supporting
data, allowing sufficient time for internal reviews and analysis. Lastly, the City will explore additional
training for critical non-Finance employees to enhance awareness, understanding, and compliance
with uniform guidance and single audit rules.
