Finance director: audit delayed into February; assistant finance director to start and audio RFP to be posted
Summary
Finance Director David Littaker told the finance committee the city audit will not be finished by the end of January, an assistant finance director is set to start Monday, and an audio services RFP will be posted before month-end.
Finance Director David Littaker told the Bangor City Finance Committee the annual audit will not be completed by the end of January as the department had hoped, and he expects the auditors to issue the report in February.
Littaker cited typical January workload pressures (W-2s and 1099s), multiple active RFPs and the department operating two positions short as reasons for the delay. He said an assistant finance director with accounting experience and GASB familiarity is scheduled to start on Monday, and that the payroll specialist is expected to return to full duty in early February; together those staffing changes should allow the department to complete outstanding audit work.
Littaker also reported the RFP for audio services is on his desk and will be posted before the end of the month once additional schedules are finalized. The committee received these updates; no formal action was recorded on the audit status or staffing changes in the transcript segment provided.
Committee members acknowledged the staffing pressures and thanked staff for progress updates. The finance director said daily progress is being made on the audit and reiterated the expectation that auditors will issue the report in February.
