| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an agreement with CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP in an amount not to exceed $24,750 to provide annual auditing services for fiscal years ending 2018, 2019, and 2020 for the period date of signing through June 30, 2021.
|
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
State law requires that the Air Quality Management District (District) have annual performance compliance audits.
|
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The last performance audit contract ended with the June 30, 2017 audit. A new contract is required for fiscal years ending 6/30/2018, 6/30/2019, and 6/30/2020. A 3-year contract with the same company used by the County Auditor’s office will synchronize the Districts audits with the overall County audits and all future District audits will be included in the County’s audit contract.
The Auditor-Controller’s office recommended using the same audit firm, CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP, that the County uses for their annual audits. Use of the same firm will allow the District’s audit to be issued in conjunction with the County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This would be more efficient for both the County and District.
|
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may choose to not accept the Department recommendation and the District would continue to seek a qualified audit firm independent of the County.
|
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
The Auditor-Controller’s office negotiated the terms of the attached contract for District Audits with CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP. County Counsel and Risk Management have approved and signed the agreement as to form. The County Administrative office has reviewed the recommendation. Annual audits will be forwarded to the State Controller’s Office each year.
|
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The cost of the current year audit has been budgeted during the normal budget process. The cost for future audits will be handled through the normal budget process.
