Fiscal Year 2015
2015
Annual Report
Since its creation in 1979, WHEFA has completed
totaling more than
790 financings
$22.1 billion and representing more than
$9.4 billion in new money capital projects, supporting more than
5,300 jobs on average annually in the Badger State.
Executive Director’s Letter
On behalf of the Members and staff of the Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority (WHEFA), I am pleased to
present this Annual Report of WHEFA activity for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 (FY2015).
By the Numbers - FY2015
This annual report highlights another successful year in WHEFA’s 36-year history. During FY2015, WHEFA completed
37 tax-exempt bond financings totaling more than $1.47 billion on behalf of various Wisconsin non-profit institutions
(including certain of their out-of-state affiliates).
WHEFA new money capital financings in FY2015 helped to provide an estimated 829 new jobs at the financed facilities
and an estimated 2,134 jobs related to the construction of such new capital projects. Additionally, WHEFA refinancings
in FY2015 enabled certain borrowers to save more than $59 million in future interest payments by providing them with
access to lower cost refinancing of their outstanding debt. In total, 30 different non-profit borrowers, employing over
39,000 persons, benefited from the issuance of tax-exempt bonds by WHEFA in FY2015.
WHEFA is a Great Resource
As I travel the state and talk and meet with various organizations, my overall message is clear – WHEFA is a great, no-cost resource. Please let us know how
we can help.
Our mission is simple: to assist Wisconsin’s non-profit institutions to obtain access to low-cost capital in order to finance or refinance their building and
equipment improvements and expansion needs. Regardless of whether or not WHEFA is involved in the ultimate issuance of bonds for a particular project or
refinancing, WHEFA is a wonderful resource when researching and evaluating various financing options. I encourage all organizations to call when contemplating
a borrowing for a new money project or refinancing. Irrespective of the ultimate plan of finance, WHEFA is here to help.
Looking Forward - FY2015 and Beyond
Having completed 790 financings totaling over $22.1 billion in the past 36 years, the Members and staff are proud of our accomplishments and we all look
forward to continuing to fulfill our mission of ensuring competitive access to low-cost capital financings for all Wisconsin non-profit institutions for many years
to come.
Best regards,
Dennis P. Reilly
Executive Director
“This fiscal year, WHEFA helped create 829 new jobs in Wisconsin by providing
non-profit organizations with access to low-cost capital. We look forward to
continuing our partnership with them as more non-profit institutions seek to
expand and create jobs right here in Wisconsin.”
- Governor Scott Walker

Mission Statement
The Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority (“WHEFA”) assists all eligible borrowers to obtain and maintain access to the broadest range of low cost,
private capital market funding possible.
Vision Statement
WHEFA will be an ally to borrowers fulfilling its mission by providing prompt, user friendly services including communication, education, and advocacy directed towards
borrowers, lenders, government, the public, trade associations, and financing team participants.
WHEFA’s ability to be successful is dependent on effective Member leadership and a staff that can provide operational excellence. This success will require Members
and staff who are well informed about the industries served and who stay abreast of financing needs and options; they will exercise strong oversight using performance
indicators to ensure strategic objectives are being identified and met; and employee policies and incentives that provide for the recruitment and retention of high
quality, experienced staff to implement programs and services.
WHEFA
WHEFA, created by the Legislature in 1973 (Chapter 231, Wisconsin Statutes), has been providing active capital financing assistance to Wisconsin non-profit health care
institutions since 1979. Over the years, the Wisconsin legislature has expanded the types of non-profit entities eligible for WHEFA financing assistance. In July 2013,
WHEFA’s charter was permanently expanded to permit all Wisconsin 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations access to WHEFA’s low-cost capital financing.
Funds for each project financed by WHEFA are obtained through the sale of revenue bonds of WHEFA. Bonds are sold to institutional lenders in “direct placement”
transactions and to individual and institutional investors in “public offerings”. Bond sale proceeds are loaned by WHEFA to the borrowing institution or project sponsor.
No state or other public funds are used.
WHEFA’s bonds are payable solely out of loan repayments from the borrowing institution, sponsor or guarantor. They are not a debt, liability, or “moral” obligation of
the State of Wisconsin or any of its political subdivisions. WHEFA has no taxing power.
The credit supporting any WHEFA bond issue is the credit of the borrowing institution involved. The availability of financing and its terms and conditions depends in
each case upon the credit-worthiness of each borrower. Interest paid on WHEFA bonds is exempt from federal income taxation, resulting in materially lower financing

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Members of the Wisconsin Health and
Educational Facilities Authority
Brookfield, Wisconsin
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Wisconsin Health and Educational
Facilities Authority ("the Authority") which comprise the Statements of Net Position as of June 30,
2015 and 2014, and the related Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position
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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of 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 Authority'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 Authority'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 opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority as of June 30, 2015 and
2014, and the changes in its net position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the Authority implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions - An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. Our opinions are
not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such missing 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. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not
affected by this missing information.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the schedules
relating to pensions and other post-employment benefits on pages 28 and 29 be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not 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 Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October
22, 2015 on our consideration of Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority’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 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.
2
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority's internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

WISCONSIN HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority (the Authority) is a public body
politic and corporate of the State of Wisconsin created and existing under Chapter 231 of the
Wisconsin Statutes. The Authority consists of seven members (the Members), appointed by the
governor, with the advice and consent of the state senate. The Authority is not considered a
component unit of the State of Wisconsin for purposes of the state's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report.
The financial statements of the Authority have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government
units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting
body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The purpose of the Authority is to facilitate financing for capital expenditures and refinancing of
indebtedness for qualified Wisconsin not-for-profit institutions through the issuance of tax-exempt
debt instruments.
The Authority issues tax-exempt instruments (bonds, notes, or other obligations), which do not
constitute a debt of the State of Wisconsin or any political subdivision. These debt instruments are
limited obligations of the Authority, payable solely from payments made by the related borrowing
institutions and related assets held by trustees. The Authority has no general liability with respect
to these obligations and has no beneficial interest in the related assets held by trustees. Therefore,
the Authority has excluded these obligations, and the related assets held by trustees, from the
financial statements (see Notes 5 and 6).
Cash and cash equivalents: The Authority considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with maturities less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.
Investment securities: Investments in debt securities are carried at fair value, which is determined
based on quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of debt securities are recorded as of the
transaction date. Gains or losses on sales of debt securities are recognized using the specific
identification method.
Office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements: Office furniture, equipment and
leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of office furniture, equipment and leasehold
improvements are three to seven years. Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2015
and 2014 was $14,247 and $13,223, respectively.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources: In addition to assets, the statement of net position will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. The Authority has one item that qualifies for reporting in this
category.
7
WISCONSIN HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
This item is related to the Authority’s proportionate share of the Wisconsin Retirement System
pension plan and is deferred and amortized over the expected remaining service lives of the
pension plan participants.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority currently does not
have any items that qualify for reporting in this category.
Accrued annual fees: The Authority considers accrued annual fees to be fully collectible;
accordingly, no allowance is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to
operations when that determination is made.
Operating revenue – annual fees: Revenues consist primarily of annual fees charged to
borrowing institutions. Revenues are recognized when earned. The fee charged to borrowing
institutions for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0.625 of a basis point on the amount
of bonds outstanding at the end of the year.
Income tax status: The Authority is considered a quasi-governmental entity under Chapter 231 of
the Wisconsin statutes and therefore is exempt from federal and state income taxes.
Basis of presentation: Financial transactions of the Authority and the results thereof are
presented in the financial statements as an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to account
for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises
- where the intent of the Authority is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing
services to its users on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges;
or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned,
expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy,
management control, accountability or other purposes.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

WISCONSIN HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Net position: Net position is classified and displayed in three components:

Net Investment in capital assets – Amount of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, less outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other
borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of these
assets.

Restricted net position – Amount of net position that is subject to restrictions that are
imposed by 1) external groups, such as creditors, contributors or laws or regulations or other
governments or 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted net position – Net position that is neither classified as restricted nor as net
investment in capital assets.
The Authority does not have any restricted net position as of June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Pensions: For purposes of measuring the net pension asset, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the
fiduciary net position of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and additions to/deductions from
WRS’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by WRS.
For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle: The Authority has adopted GASB
Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an Amendment of GASB
Statement No. 27, which revised and established new financial reporting requirements for
governments that provide their employees with pension benefits. The new standard recognizes
pension costs as employment services are provided, rather than when the pensions are funded.
Financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014, have not been restated. The cumulative
effect of this change was to increase the June 30, 2015 net position of the governmental activities
by $113,623.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Invested cash consists of deposits and investments that are restricted by Wisconsin Statutes to the
following: Time deposits; repurchase agreements; securities issued by federal, state and local
governmental entities; statutorily authorized commercial paper and corporate securities; and the

Deposits and investments of the Authority are subject to various risks. Presented below is a
discussion of the specific risks.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, the Authority will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is
the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, the
Authority will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the
possession of another party. Wisconsin statutes require repurchase agreements to be fully
collateralized by bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government or its
instrumentalities. The Authority does not have an additional custodial credit risk policy.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
Deposits with financial institutions within the State of Wisconsin are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the amount of $250,000 for time and savings deposits and $250,000
for interest-bearing demand deposits per official custodian per insured depository institution.
Deposits with financial institutions located outside the State of Wisconsin are insured by the FDIC in
the amount of $250,000 for all time accounts, savings accounts and interest-bearing demand deposit
accounts per official custodian per depository institution. In addition, the Authority’s non-interest
bearing transaction accounts are fully insured through December 31, 2014. As of January 1, 2015
the Authority’s noninterest-bearing accounts are combined with its interest-bearing demand deposits
for FDIC insurance coverage. Also, the State of Wisconsin has a State Guarantee Fund which
provides a maximum of $400,000 per public depository above the amount provided by an agency of
the U.S. Government. However, due to the relatively small size of the State Guarantee Fund in
relation to the Fund's total coverage, total recovery of insured losses may not be available.
As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Authority had no deposits with financial institutions in excess of
federal depository insurance limits.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization. Wisconsin statutes limit the purchase of investments in securities to
the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Presented
below is the actual rating as of year end for each investment type. The Authority does not have an
additional credit risk policy.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the Authority contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in
any one issuer. There were no investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury Securities)
that represent 5% or more of the total Authority’s investments held at June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Authority manages its
exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term
investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or
coming close to maturing evenly over time as necessary to provide cash flow and liquidity needed for
operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Authority’s investments to market interest
rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the Authority’s

NOTE 3 - OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENT
The Authority has an agreement to lease its office space through October 31, 2020. The lease
agreement provides for a basic monthly rental payment of $2,587 plus operating costs through
October 31, 2016 increasing by 2% every 12 months until October 31, 2020. Rental expense related
to the office space amounted to $57,211 and $57,868 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.
NOTE 4 - PENSION PLAN
Plan Description: The WRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. WRS
benefits and other plan provisions are established by Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Benefit terms may only be modified by the legislature. The retirement system is administered by
the Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF). The system provides coverage to all
eligible State of Wisconsin, local government and other public employees. All employees, initially
employed by a participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, and expected to work at least
1200 hours a year (880 hours for teachers and school district educational support employees) and
expected to be employed for at least one year from employee’s date of hire are eligible to
participate in the WRS.
Vesting: For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990, and no longer actively
employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years is required for eligibility
for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990 and on or after April 24, 1998, and
prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested. Participants who initially became WRS eligible on or
after July 1, 2011, must have five years of creditable service to be vested.
Benefits Provided: Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupation
employees, 62 for elected officials and State executive participants) are entitled to receive an
unreduced retirement benefit. The factors influencing the benefit are: (1) final average earnings, (2)
years of creditable service, and (3) a formula factor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 4 - PENSION PLAN
Final average earnings is the average of the participant's three highest years' earnings. Creditable
service is the creditable current and prior service expressed in years or decimal equivalents of
partial years for which a participant receives earnings and makes contributions as required. The
formula factor is a standard percentage based on employment category.
Employees may retire at age 55 (50 for protective occupation employees) and receive reduced
benefits. Employees terminating covered employment before becoming eligible for a retirement
benefit may withdraw their contributions and forfeit all rights to any subsequent benefits.
The WRS also provides death and disability benefits for employees.
Post-Retirement Adjustments: The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity
payments from the retirement system based on annual investment performance in accordance with
s. 40.27, Wis. Stat. An increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when investment
gains (losses), together with other actuarial experience factors, create a surplus (shortfall) in the
reserves, as determined by the system’s consulting actuary. Annuity increases are not based on
cost of living or other similar factors. For Core annuities, decreases may be applied only to
previously granted increases. By law, Core annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the
original, guaranteed amount (the “floor”) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity
adjustments granted during recent years are as follows:

Contributions: Required contributions are determined by an annual actuarial valuation in
accordance with Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The employee required contribution is onehalf of the actuarially determined contribution rate for general category employees, including
teachers, and Executives and Elected Officials. Required contributions for protective employees
are the same rate as general employees. Employers are required to contribute the remainder of the
actuarially determined contribution rate.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred
Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions: At June 30, 2015, the Authority reported an asset of
$52,053 for its proportionate share of the net pension asset. The net pension asset was measured
as of December 31, 2014, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension asset was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2013 rolled forward to December 31,
2014. No material changes in assumptions or benefit terms occurred between the actuarial
valuation date and the measurement date. The Authority’s proportion of the net pension asset was
based on the Authority’s share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all
participating employers. At December 31, 2014, the Authority’s proportion was .0021%, which was
a decrease of .0001% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2013.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Authority recognized pension expense of $20,712.
At June 30, 2015, the Authority reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions from the following sources:
Differences between expected and actual experience
Changes in assumptions
Net differences between projected and actual
earnings on pension plan investments

Actuarial assumptions are based upon an experience study conducted in 2012 using experience
from 2009 – 2011. The total pension liability for December 31, 2014 is based upon a roll-forward of
the liability calculated from the December 31, 2013 actuarial valuation.

NOTE 4 - PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
Long-term expected Return on Plan Assets: The long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of
expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and
inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the
long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
are summarized in the following table:

Single Discount rate: A single discount rate of 7.20% was used to measure the total pension
liability. This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan
investments of 7.20% and a long term bond rate of 3.56%. Because of the unique structure of
WRS, the 7.20% expected rate of return implies that a dividend of approximately 2.1% will always
be paid. For purposes of the single discount rate, it was assumed that the dividend would always be
paid. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan
member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions
will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and
the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments (including expected
dividends) of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total
pension liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Members of the Wisconsin Health and
Educational Facilities Authority
Brookfield, Wisconsin
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
Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority ("the Authority") as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2015 and the related notes to the financial statements and have issued our report thereon
which included an emphasis of matter paragraph October 22, 2015.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority'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 of the effectiveness of the Authority's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority'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
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Authority'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 over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting that we consider
to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority'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
Authority'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 Authority's internal control and
on compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
