Bridgeport, Connecticut Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Career Resources, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from 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 auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of 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 entity 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 on the effectiveness of the entity 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 statement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

4 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Career Resources, Inc. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in its net assets and in its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and by the State Single Audit Act, respectively, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 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 financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the 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 December 14, 2017, on our consideration of Career Resources, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants 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 the 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 Career Resources, Inc. s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

8 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Organization Career Resources, Inc. is a not-for-profit, non-stock Connecticut corporation, exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). Career Resources, Inc. provides job training, placement and support services for dislocated and economically disadvantaged individuals in Southwestern Connecticut. U.S. Congress has enacted the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which supersedes the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The WIOA provides employment and training services through a network of American Job Centers (AJC) (formerly known as One-Stop Career Centers). The WorkPlace, Inc. has been designated the Local Workforce Development Board. The Organization has been awarded various grants by The WorkPlace, Inc. to be the AJC Operator and Provider and the TANF case manager established by the WIOA. Career Resources, Inc. is operating under a contract with The WorkPlace, Inc. that runs through June 30, Financial Statement Presentation In accordance with FASB ASC Not for Profit Entities, Presentation of Financial Statements, Career Resources, Inc. reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets. Unrestricted Equipment Net assets reflect the total carrying value after depreciation of all equipment used by the Organization, less directly related liabilities. Unrestricted Undesignated Unrestricted net assets represents available sources other than donor restricted contributions. Included in unrestricted net assets are grants and contracts, which may be earmarked for specific purposes. Unrestricted Designated Net assets are to be used for purposes specified by the Board of Directors. Temporarily Restricted Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions that are restricted by the donor either as to purpose or as to time of expenditure. Permanently Restricted Permanently restricted net assets represent contributions received with the donor restriction that the principal be invested in perpetuity. The Organization has no permanently restricted net assets. 6

9 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued Recognition of Support and Revenue Grants and Contracts Grants and contracts are generally considered to be exchange transactions in which the grantor or contractor requires the performance of specified activities. Entitlement to cost reimbursement grants and contracts is conditioned on the expenditure of funds in accordance with grant restrictions and, therefore, revenue is recognized to the extent of grant expenditures. Entitlement to performancebased grants and contracts is conditioned on the attainment of specific performance goals and, therefore, is recognized to the extent of performance achieved. Grant and contract receipts in excess of revenues recognized are presented as deferred grant revenue. Contributions Contributions are defined as voluntary, non-reciprocal transfers. Unrestricted and unconditional contributions are recognized as support when received or pledged, if applicable. Contributions are reported as temporarily restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of such assets. When a restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of changes in net assets as net assets released from restrictions. Career Resources, Inc. s policy is to present temporarily restricted net assets received during the year whose restrictions are also met during the current year as unrestricted net assets. Contributions received with donor imposed conditions are presented as deferred support until such conditions are substantially met, at which time they are recognized as support. The Organization s policy is to recognize the expiration of donor restrictions for contributions of property and equipment or the use of contributions restricted for property and equipment in the year the property and equipment is placed in service. Furniture, Equipment and Depreciation Donated property is stated at fair market value as determined by management at the date contributed. Property purchased is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, depreciation expense was $22,299 and $21,267, respectively. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. The costs relating to assets sold or retired are removed from the account balance at the time of the disposition and the related gains and losses are included in the change in net assets. Use of Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that are used. 7

Bridgeport, Connecticut 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 Career Resources, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2017, and the related statement of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 14, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Career Resources, Inc. s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Career Resources, Inc. s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Career Resources, Inc. 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 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 entity s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. 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. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in 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. 17

20 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Career Resources, Inc. s financial statements are free of 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 of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization 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 Organization s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Carter, Hayes + Associates, P.C. Hamden, Connecticut December 14,

22 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of Career Resources, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above.

26 Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of Career Resources, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered Career Resources, Inc. s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major state program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for a major state program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the State Single Audit Act, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 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 state 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 state 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 state 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 of 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 material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
