Summary
County finance staff presented an engagement letter from Rushton for the FY audit; the board was asked to place the engagement letter on the consent agenda. Fee cited: $97,800 plus $8,000 for a single audit and $5,000 for each additional major program if applicable.
Carroll County finance staff presented an engagement letter from Rushton, the county—s longtime certified public accountants, to perform the county—s fiscal‑year audit.
Finance Director Alicia Searcy summarized the engagement letter and drew commissioners— attention to the fee schedule: $97,800 for the audit, $8,000 if a single audit is required, and $5,000 for each additional major program audit if needed. Searcy said the engagement letter is substantially consistent with prior years and recommended placing the letter on the consent agenda.
The nut graf: Commissioners agreed to place the engagement letter on the consent agenda for the July meeting so the board can formally accept the audit contract.
Ending: If the board approves on consent, Rushton will proceed with the FY audit under the cited fees and any required single‑audit scope will be billed per the engagement letter.
