Q•~ DESCRIPTION: The independent auditors from the firm of Caporicci and Larson, (now a subsidiary of Stonefield Josephson) have scheduled to begin the field work for the City Audit the week of October 18, 2010. The Auditing Standards Board (ASB) establishes required protocols to be followed by independent Auditors. This governing body issues their directives in documents referenced as the Statement on Accounting Standards (SAS), which are applicable to both private and governmental entities. These standards require that the Auditors communicate directly with those charged with governance. At a future City Council Meeting, after the Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee has had an opportunity to review and discuss the report with the Auditors, Staff will prepare an agenda item for action by the entire City Council. Last year the Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee was comprised of Councilmember pon Biddle and Councilmember Kevin Hart. Mayor Sbranti has recommended the appointment of Vice Mayor Hildenbrand and Mayor Sbranti, to serve as the 2010 Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of the Staff Report has been provided to Ahmed Badawi, Partner Caporicci & Larson. ATTACHMENTS: None Page 2 of 2
