Centerville council accepts Baker Tilly engagement to update internal control plan
Summary
Council members approved an engagement letter from Baker Tilly to update the town's internal control plan, which staff said had not been updated since 2016; the council approved the engagement by roll call.
The Centerville Town Council voted to accept an engagement letter from accounting firm Baker Tilly to update the town's internal control plan. The council president said the town had not updated its internal control plan since 2016 and described the Baker Tilly engagement as necessary to prepare for upcoming audits and compliance steps. The council took a motion to accept the engagement letter, which was seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: An updated internal control plan helps the town meet audit requirements and reduce financial risk; accepting the engagement creates a near-term work plan to prepare required documentation and controls.
Details: The council president summarized Baker Tilly's proposed scope and standard hourly rate; the motion to accept the engagement letter was moved by a council member identified in the record as David and seconded by Gary. Roll-call votes were recorded as 'Aye' and the motion carried. Staff noted the update is timely because of audits and related compliance work.
Next step: Baker Tilly will proceed with the engagement steps outlined in the letter and staff will coordinate follow-up reporting to the council.
