Council approves audit contract with Wickberg Accounting, audit completion still pending
Summary
Council approved a 2026 audit contract with Wickberg Accounting for a $28,000 base fee with up to $7,000 additional potential fees; auditors still await HRA reimbursement documentation and a SOC1 Type 2 report, delaying final audit completion.
Charlotte's City Council voted to approve a contract with Wickberg Accounting to perform the city's 2026 financial audit, with a $28,000 base fee and up to $7,000 in additional fees if needed. The motion to approve was made by Ricky Pastor and seconded by Chris Deloach; the minutes record the outcome as "Ayes: All."
Council was also told that the audit remains incomplete because auditors are awaiting HRA reimbursement documentation and a SOC1 Type 2 Report from vendors (listed as BCBST or Benefits Inc.). Staff said obtaining the vendor documentation has been a "huge process" for the accounting firm; auditors, however, have a general fund draft that matches city records pending final vendor materials.
