Board approves supplemental audit invoice after year of large federally funded projects
Summary
Auditors requested a supplemental payment to cover additional compliance testing tied to approximately a dozen federally funded projects; staff said the city had roughly $15 million in improvements last year and the Board approved the invoice.
Christie, the auditor attending for her partner, asked the Board to approve payment of a supplemental invoice to cover additional compliance testing required by single-audit rules after a busy year of federally funded projects.
Christie (S7) said auditors had completed the work and that additional time beyond the annual engagement was required to meet state and federal reporting obligations. Staff explained that Brandon had roughly $15,000,000 in capital improvements last year, which increased federal-expenditures reporting and the amount of testing required.
Board members asked whether the extra work was outside the scope of the original contract; Christie said the engagement letter contemplates additional time and that the work had been finished. The Board moved to approve payment (motion by Lou Coker, 2nd David Ferrer) and the chair called the motion; the vote was recorded in the affirmative.
The Board asked staff to ensure future engagement letters and budgets account for years with unusually high federal spending so supplemental requests can be anticipated and budgeted.
