Note 1-Organization and Operations
Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc. ("LAS" or the "Organization") is a nonprofit corporation
organized primarily for the purpose of providing legal assistance in noncriminal proceedings or
matters to persons financially unable to afford legal assistance residing in Broward and Collier
Counties, Florida. LAS is funded largely through grants from Broward County,a political subdivision
of the State of Florida (32% and 26% of revenues in 2016 and 2015, respecively); the Florida Bar
Foundation (8%and 6%in 2016 and 2015, respectively); Legal Services Corporation (°LSO /496and
3%of revenues through a subgrant from Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida, Inc. ("CCLA") in
2016 and 2015, respectively); and grants and contracts from other entities. A significant reduction
in the level of supportfrmmntheaboveentities, if this were to occur,could have a material effect on
the Organization's activities.
Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 958 Not-
foEntities. Under ASC No. 958,the Organization is required to report information regarding
its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets,
temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted assets.net
Reclassifications: Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the presentatimninthe current yeor�nancia|�mtemo�nt�`
�°
Itor' Restricted and unrestricted revenue and support: Contributions received are recorded as
unrestricted,temporarily restricted,or permanently restricted support,depending on the existence
and/or nature of any donor restrictions Noncash contributions are recorded at their estimated fair
value on the date received.
Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the
restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donor-
w�* mestricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets,
depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated
time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are
reclassified to unrestricted net assets and� reported in the statement of activities as net assets�
released from restrictions. As of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Organization
had temporarily restricted net assets of $809,828 and $819,581, respectively, designated for
cap, programservices. The Organization had nm permanently restricted net assets as of December 31,
2016 and 2015.
kv.o Cash and cash equivalents: The Organization considers all highly liquid investments, for general
operating purposes, with a maturity date of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. At times during the year, the Organization maintains balances with financial
institutions which may exceed the federally insured limit of$2SD,0JO. At December 31, 2016 and
2015, the Organization's uninsured cash balances were approximately $818,000 and $ 1,340,000,
respectively. The Organization has not experienced any losses on such accounts and does not feel
it is exposed to any significant risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents.
Investments: Investments primarily consist of equity securities. Investments are stated at their
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses in fair value are recognized and are included in the
accompanying Statement of Activities.

Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(continued)
Contract and grant receivables: Contract and grant receivables consist of amounts due fromreceivables
government agencies and private donors, based on the terms of the related grant agreements.
Management believes the amounts reported in the current year are collectable in the subsequent
year.
��
Nue Promises to give: Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenues or gains in the period
received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses depending on the form of the benefits
received. Conditional promises to give are recognized when the conditiohich they depend
are substantially met and the promises become unconditional. Unconditional promises to give

and 2015, respectively.
Prepaid expenses and deposits and other Certain payments to vendors reflect costs
� --
applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid expenses. Deposits and other
assets primarily include security and utility deposits.
Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost if purchased or, if
'‘e donated, at estimated fair value on the date of donation, less accumulated depreciation. In
litee accordance with the Organization's policy, capitalization of assets is done only when the cost of a
single item or aggregate purchase exceeds $ 1,000. The Organization follows the policy of
providing for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each
type of asset which is as follows:
tlosi Buildings and improvements 10-39 years
Furniture and equipment 3-15 years
Law library 3 years
No# Property and equipment acquired with certain funds are considered to be restricted while used in
the program. Therefore, contributions for these assets are reported as temporarily restricted
AAio, support and expire over the useful lives of the assets. Contributions for assets without donor-
imposed
restrictions are reported as unrestricted support. Several of the grantees retain a
reversionary interest in property and equipment purchased with their grants.
'AweClient escrow
funds/Client trust deposits: Represent funds received fromor on behalf of clients
and are held in a separately designated bank account These funds are not the property ofthe
Organization and the cash in this account is reported as both an asset and a liability on the
Statement of Financial Position.
Deferred revenue: Contract and grant revenue that is not recognized because the allowable cost
as defined by the individual contract or grant have not been incurred and/or the units of service
have not been rendered is considered deferred revenue.

Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(continued)
Donated materials and services: Donated equipment and materials are recorded as support at
their estimated fair value when received. Such contributions are reported as increases in
**0 unrestricted net assets unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose.
Assets donated with explicit restrictions regarding their use and contributions of cash that must be
used to acquire property and equipment are reported as restricted support. Absent donor
stipulations regardinghow long those donated assets must be maintained, the Organization
reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired assets are placed in service
I*0/
as instructed by the donor. The Organization reclassifies temporarily resthcted net assets to
unrestricted net assets at that time. A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have de
significant contributions of their time and services in relation to the Organization's Pro-Bono
program which would have been purchased ifnot provided 6«contribution. Dur�g the years ended

the Internal Revenue Code. However, income fromcertain activities not directly related to the
Organization's tax-exempt purpose may besubiecttotaxation asunrelated business |ncmmne. The
subject
Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does
not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The
Organization's federal Returns of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Forms 990) for 2013
through 2016 are subject to examination by the IRS.
loge
Functional expenses: The Organization has a number of programs (funds) and maintains
accounting records separately for each of them. Expenses incurred are charged to each pro
(fund) for direct expenditures incurred. In some cases, common expenses are incurred which
support the work performed under more than one program. Such expenses are allocated between
*00funding sources as agreed upon by these funding organizations, or in the absence of an agreement,
on a reasonable basis as determined by management
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the rerted amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summarized prior year information: The financial statements include summarized comparative
information from the prior year, which is not presented by net asset type and functional expense
*00/
classification and does not include sufficient detail to conform with generally accepted accounting
kl*.0 principles. This information should be read in conjunction with the Organization's financial
-40.0statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, from which the comparative information was
extracted.
*00Date of management review: Subsequent events were evaluated by management through April
18,2017,which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

Note 3-Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Accounting Standards
Nee Codification (ASC) No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Organization provides
eee certain required disclosures. ASC No.820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to
a.. valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities(Level 1 measurements)
and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Nee
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
investments that the Organization has the ability to access at the

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR
EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Board of Directors
Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc.
Plantation, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc.'s (a nonprofit organization) (the
"Organization") compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB
Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Organization's
major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Organization's major federal
programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs.
%we Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and
conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
%r
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Organization's major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
,.. United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; 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). Those
standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above
that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis,evidence about the Organization's compliance with those requirements and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major
federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination on the Organization's
compliance.

Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Organization complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Organization 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 the Organization's internal control over compliance
with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal
program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program 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 internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's 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 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.
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.
Purpose of this Report
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE BROWARD COUNTY FILING FEES
CONTRACT UNDER ARTICLE V, PARAGRAPH 5.1
100 To the Board of Directors
Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc.
Plantation, Florida
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of Legal Aid Service of
Broward County, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) (the "Organization") which comprise the statement of
financial position as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of activities, functional
expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated April 18,2017.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the Organization's compliance with the provision
of Article, V, Paragraph 5.1 of the Broward County Filing Fees Contract. That provision requires the
Organization to maintain a compilation of case statistics that are supported by case files with
corresponding code numbers and that the coding system differentiates the various legal services the
Organization renders to its clients. However, providing an opinion on the overall 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 indicate that, with respect to the items tested, the Organization, maintained a
compilation which contains case statistics that are supported by case files with corresponding code
numbers and that the code numbers differentiate the various legal services rendered to clients. With
respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the
Organization had not complied, in all material respects, with the provision. 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 compliance with the cited
provision of the aforementioned contract and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. This report is
intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors, management, and the Broward
County Board of County Commissioners and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
�.. other than these specified parties.
