2019 Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of the audit was included in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 adopted budget.
DESCRIPTION:
The independent auditors from the firm of Badawi and Associates are required to follow
protocols established by the Governmental Auditing Standards Board and issue their
directives in documents referenced as the Statement on Accounting Standards, which
are applicable to both private and governmental entities.
These standards require that the auditors communicate directly with those charged with
governance. The Ad-Hoc Audit Review Committee, comprised of two Councilmembers
appointed by the Mayor, is established each year for this purpose. After the Committee
has had an opportunity to review and discuss the report with the auditors, at a future
City Council meeting, Staff will prepare an agenda item for action by the entire City
Council.
