Staff reviews auditor compliance questionnaire for FY 2024'025
Summary
City staff presented the LA compliance questionnaire for the auditor covering the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025; staff described the form as an authoring aid and confidential input for the audit process.
City staff reviewed an auditor compliance questionnaire intended to document municipal compliance on items such as elected-official terms, bid law and the code of ethics for local officials.
Speaker 6 (staff) walked the council through the LA compliance questionnaire, which the transcript lists as covering the period from 07/01/2024 to 06/02/3025; staff clarified the intended audit period is the 2024'025 fiscal year (ending June 30, 2025). Speaker 6 described the questionnaire as an internal tool the auditor uses to guide the audit and emphasized that the authoring of the responses is part of preparing the audit packet. "It's confidential not at all. The author then would use that to guide their audit," Speaker 6 said, explaining the purpose of the form.
Staff also noted procedural items recorded on the questionnaire, including elected officials' term dates and prior years' extensions, and said the form helps flag items that might require explanation or follow-up during the audit.
Next steps: the questionnaire will be included in the audit package submitted to the independent auditor; staff requested council review and provided opportunity for questions about specific entries.
