Commissioners authorize audit engagement letter for audit preparation services
Summary
The board approved an engagement letter with 'Port America, Cornelia and Howard' for audit preparation services; staff said auditors will work with departments and requested documents ahead of in-person work in September.
Cameron (S9) presented an engagement letter for audit preparation services with the firm described in the transcript as "Port America, Cornelia and Howard," noting the terms match a prior engagement. "This engagement letter is with Port America, Cornelia and Howard. It's for audit preparation services," Cameron said, and added that auditors will review departmental records and requested most documents in advance of on-site work around mid-September.
A commissioner moved and the chair authorized the chair to sign the engagement letter; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Cameron said the auditors expect key documents by about Sept. 14 and that fieldwork would occur later in the audit timeline.
Why it matters: the engagement letters authorize auditors to review county records and begin preparation of the next audit; staff and departments should start compiling requested documents to meet the auditors' timeline.
