INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments
Norwich, Connecticut
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG),
as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise SCCOG’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 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.
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 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 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 auditors’ 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 auditors consider 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 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 financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of SCCOG as of June 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
OTHER MATTERS
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis on pages 4 - 10, the budgetary comparison information on page 37, and the
pension schedules on pages 38 - 39 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise SCCOG’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and supplemental schedules, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and schedule of
expenditures of state financial assistance, as required by Office Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the State Single Audit Act, respectively, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and supplemental schedules, the schedule
of expenditures of federal awards, as required by the Uniform Guidance, and the schedule of state financial
assistance, as required by the State of Connecticut Single Audit Act, 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 and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and supplemental schedules, the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards, as required by the Uniform Guidance, and the schedule of state financial
assistance, as required by the State of Connecticut Single Audit Act, 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 a report dated November 23, 2020,
on our consideration of SCCOG’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 solely 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 effectiveness of SCCOG’s
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 SCCOG’s internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
MANAGEMENT?’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2020
As management of the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, (SCCOG), we offer readers of
the financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the SCCOG for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here along
with the SCCOG’s basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
e The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the SCCOG exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $514,213 (net position). Of this
amount, $271,300 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the SCCOG’s ongoing
obligations.
e The SCCOG’s total net position decreased by $113,897. This decrease is mostly the result of
increases in the liability for compensated absences and the additional costs incurred for the New
London Joint Land Use, Regional Election Monitors, and Regional Online Property Survey Index
projects which were funded by SCCOG itself without grant assistance.
e As of the close of the current fiscal year, the SCCOG’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $607,388, an increase of $96,669 in comparison with the prior year. The
total fund balance available for spending at the SCCOG’s discretion (unassigned fund balance) was
$582,834, while $24,554 was considered nonspendable.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the SCCOG’s basic financial
statements. The SCCOG’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Basis of Presentation
The SCCOG is considered a single-program governmental organization for financial reporting purposes.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements — and
Management's Discussion and Analysis — for State and Local Governments requires the presentation of
government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements. The government-wide financial
statements consist of the statement of net position and the statement of activities, while the governmental fund
financial statements consist of the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement
of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The SCCOG has no business-type activities. Rather
than presenting government-wide financial statements along with separate governmental fund financial
statements, SCCOG has chosen to combine the two types of financial statements as permitted by GASB
Statement No. 34. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements. of the SCCOG consist of the
governmental funds balance sheet/statement of net position and the governmental funds statement of
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances/statement of activities.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
SCCOG’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
MANAGEMENT?’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2020
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Government-wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of net position presents information on all of the SCCOG’s assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the SCCOG is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the SCCOG’s net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to
the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported
in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected
member town assessments and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements display information about the SCCOG’s governmental
activities, which consists of regional planning. The SCCOG does not have any business-type activities.
The government-wide financial statements include only the SCCOG because there are no legally separate
organizations for which the SCCOG is legally accountable.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 11 and 12 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The SCCOG uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the SCCOG are
classified as governmental funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating the SCCOG’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements,
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of SCCOG’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund
balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.

statements can be found on pages 18 - 36 of this report.
Other Information

supplementary information other than this management’s discussion and analysis that can be found on
pages 37 - 39 of this report.
Combining fund statements and other supplementary information can be found on pages 40 - 44 of this
report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net Position
Over time, net position may serve as one measure of a government’s financial position. The net position
of the SCCOG totaled $514,213 and is summarized as follows:

Total liabilities, deferred inflows
of resources, and net position $ 1,620,940 $ 1,742,387 $ (121,447)
As previously mentioned, the decrease in net position is due from the costs of certain projects funded
entirely by SCCOG during the fiscal year. The decrease in net position is also the result of an increase in
compensated absences; during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, management amended its accrued sick
pay policy to allow employees who have been with SCCOG for 10 or more years, a payout option of limited
unused sick time upon retirement or death.
As of June 30, 2020, approximately 47% of the SCCOG’s net position reflects its investment in capital
assets. The SCCOG uses these capital assets to provide services to member towns; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending.
The remainder of the SCCOG’s net position is considered unrestricted and may be used to meet the
SCCOG’s ongoing obligations.

the prior year as it includes approximately $84,500 in sales of COVID-19 protective masks which were
sold at cost to member towns.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF SCCOG’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the SCCOG uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the SCCOG's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the SCCOG?’s financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the SCCOG’s net
resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the SCCOG’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $607,388, an increase of $96,669 in comparison with the prior year. This is mostly the result
of a significant decrease in projects for which the SCCOG had to pay unreimbursed costs. The entire fund
balance includes $582,834 of unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the SCCOG’s
discretion and $24,554 which is considered nonspendable.
General Fund

Budgets are adopted by the Board of Directors on a modified accrual basis. The adopted annual budget covers -
the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds except for DEMHS Direct Services, the CROG purchasing C
council, the Thames River Water Taxi fund, and certain other projects.
The SCCOG’s budget for 2019-2020, which began at $1,423,747 was subsequently reduced to $1,318,815
to recognize a decrease in overall revenues and accompanying costs.

RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION -
GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not
reported in the funds.
Other assets or deferred outflows of resources are not available to pay for current-period expenditures
and therefore are deferred or not recorded in the funds:
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in projected pension investment earnings
Deferred outflows of resources - difference between expected and actual experience
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in assumptions
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in proportional share
Deferred outflows of resources - pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date
Receivables outstanding beyond 60 days of the fiscal year end
C - Other liabilities or deferred inflows of resources are not due and payable in the current period
and therefore are deferred or not recorded in the funds.
Deferred inflows of resources - difference between expected and actual experience
Deferred inflows of resources - changes in proportional share

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES,
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Government funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,
in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated
by the amount by which depreciation ($17,823) exceeded
capital additions ($1,358) in the current period.
Revenues and deferred outflows of resources in the government-wide statements
that do not provide financial resources are not reported in the funds:
Change in unavailable revenues
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in projected pension investment earnings
Deferred outflows of resources - difference between expected and actual experience
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in assumptions
Deferred outflows of resources - changes in proportional share
Deferred outflows of resources - pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the
use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds, including the changes in:
Prepaid expenses
Deferred outflows of resources - difference between expected and actual experience
Deferred inflows of resources - changes in proportional share
Net pension liability
Compensated absences
Change in net position of governmental activities

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) is a regional council of governments
established under Chapter 50, Section 4-124i through 4-124p of the General Statutes of the State of
Connecticut. Membership in SCCOG is open to any municipality within the Southeastern Connecticut
planning region. Each member municipality is entitled to one voting representation on SCCOG who
shall be the chief elected official. These representatives serve as the policy making Board of SCCOG.
The day-to-day affairs of SCCOG are managed by the Executive Director.
The SCCOG provides comprehensive land use and transportation planning services in the Southeastern
Connecticut region. SCCOG is funded primarily by assessments of area municipalities and federal and
state grants.
The SCCOG’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for
establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and
Interpretations). The more significant accounting policies established in GAAP and used by SCCOG are
discussed below.
REPORTING ENTITY
The 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 nature of significance
of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting
entity’s financial statements to be incomplete or misleading as set forth by GASB. In evaluating how to
define the reporting entity for financial statement reporting purposes, management has considered all
potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in this reporting entity
was made by applying the criteria set forth by GASB, including legal standing, fiscal dependency and
financial accountability. The criterion has been considered and there are no agencies or entities which
should be presented with this government.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The SCCOG is considered a single-program governmental organization for financial reporting purposes.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 34, “Basic Financial
Statements — and Management's Discussion and Analysis — for State and Local Governments” requires
the presentation of government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements. The
government-wide financial statements consist of a statement of net assets and a statement of activities.
The governmental funds financial statements consist of a balance sheet and a statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The SCCOG has no business type activities.
The SCCOG’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting SCCOG as a whole)
and fund financial statements (reporting SCCOG’s major funds). Both the government-wide and fund
financial statements categorize primary activities as governmental.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —- GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS
The SCCOG’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting SCCOG as
a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting SCCOG’s major funds). Both the government-
wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or
business type. All of SCCOG’s activities are for regional planning which is considered
governmental. The SCCOG’s fiduciary funds are excluded from these statements. As a general
rule, the effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements.
In the government-wide statement of net position, the governmental activities column (a) is
presented on a consolidated basis, and (b) is reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis,
which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations.
The SCCOG’s net position is reported in two parts ~ invested in capital assets and unrestricted
net position.
The government-wide statement of activities reports both the gross and net cost of SCCOG’s
regional planning function. This function is also supported by general government revenues
(municipal assessments and other revenues). The statement of activities reduces gross expenses
(including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating grants, and capital grants and
contributions. Program revenues must be directly associated with the function. The net cost is
normally covered by general revenue (municipal assessments and other revenues). SCCOG does
not allocate indirect costs on the government-wide statements, but does on the fund financial
statements, as mentioned later.
This government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of SCCOG as an entity and the change
in SCCOG’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities.
BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial transactions of SCCOG are reported in individual funds in the fund financial
statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts
that comprises its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of
resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses. The various funds are reported by
generic classification within the financial statements.
The following fund types are used by SCCOG:
Governmental Funds:
The focus of the governmental funds’ measurement (in the fund statements) is upon
determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances
of financial resources) rather than upon net income. Indirect costs are allocated among the funds
based on direct payroll. The following is a description of the governmental funds of SCCOG:
General Fund — This fund is SCCOG’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of SCCOG, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. This fund is
considered to be a major fund.
