II Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Paris, Texas Page 2 A control deficiency in an ntity's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or mployees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type f compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or co bination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that mat rial noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. Our consideration of the in ernal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We id not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as de ed above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, others within the organization, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these spe ified parties.
