Commissioners approve auditor engagement but stress need for timely audits
Summary
The board approved an engagement letter with Sharkey Picherillo & Keane LLP as county auditors while recording concerns about prior late audit deliveries and requesting language to ensure timely work going forward.
Chair opened discussion on the engagement letter and agreed‑upon procedures for Sharkey Picherillo and Keane LLP as the county auditors; commissioners raised concerns because the firm has delivered audits late for other local boards in the past. “I just wanted to put the record...there's an expectation to a continued timeliness in the delivery of this audit,” the Chair said.
Commissioners agreed it was reasonable to include timeliness language mirroring last year's stipulation and moved to approve the engagement with that expectation noted in the record. The engagement was approved by voice vote; the record includes an instruction to mirror prior language about timely delivery of audits.
