Council reappoints Sheheen, Hancock & Godwin LLP as city's auditor per state statute
Summary
Under state statute 5-7-240, the council voted to continue using Sheheen, Hancock & Godwin LLP to perform the city's annual financial audits and authorized the administrator to sign the engagement letter.
Council voted unanimously to continue contracting with Sheheen, Hancock & Godwin LLP to provide the city's annual financial audit services. Mayor Suggs explained that state law (S.C. Code Ann. §5-7-240) requires the council to designate an auditing firm within 30 days of the fiscal year start, and the motion authorized the city administrator to execute any engagement letter required by the firm.
The motion was made by Councilman Carroll D. Padgett Jr. and seconded by Councilwoman Kelli D. Gerald; the vote was recorded in favor by the mayor and all council members present. City staff said the existing relationship would continue into the new fiscal year and no alternative firm was presented during the meeting.
