INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
ON
THE PRIMARY GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
October 19, 1998
Members of the Board of Supervisors
Yalobusha County, Mississippi
We have audited the accompanying primary government financial statements of Yalobusha County,
Mississippi, as of and for the year ended September 30, 1997, as listed in the table of contents. These primary
government financial statements are the responsibility of the county's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these primary government financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used

and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A primary government is a legal entity or body politic and includes all funds, organizations, institutions,
agencies, departments and offices that are not legally separate. Such legally separate entities are referred to as
component units. In our opinion, the primary government financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the primary government of Yalobusha County, Mississippi, as of September
30, 1997, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
However, the primary government financial statements, because they do not include the financial data of
component units of Yalobusha County, Mississippi, do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of
Yalobusha County, Mississippi, as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated October 19, 1998, on
our consideration of Yalobusha County, Mississippi's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the primary government financial statements
of Yalobusha County, Mississippi, taken as a whole. The accompanying Reconciliation of Operating Costs of Solid
Waste is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the primary government financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the primary
government financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the primary
government financial statements taken as a whole.
