(#3024) Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable Financial Impact: The original budgeted amount was $53,400 and during the Mid-year budget update the MCC approved an additional $174,900 for auditing services. Approved Budgeted Amount:: $228,300 Motion: Adopt the Resolution. Synopsis of Previous Council Action: April 19, 2011 - Mayor and Council approved amendment#2 extending the Audit Agreement for a period of two (2) years in order to perform financial audit services for FY 2010- 11 and FY 2011-12 not to exceed a total of$53,400 per year. Resolution 2011-88 February 17, 2014 - Mayor and Council approved the FY 2013-14 mid-year budget to include adjustments to cover increased costs in completing FY 2011-12 audit totaling $174,900. Background: The Bankruptcy Court, key creditors and the Federal Mediation Judge have made it clear that the City must provide accurate financial data and reports. Rogers, Anderson, Malody& Scott, LLP (RAMS) have been engaged in auditing the City, the Economic Development Agency(EDA) and the Successor Agency. These audits have been full of complications and challenges that have led to delays and additional work for both RAMS and City staff. RAMS' initial audit work was focused on the City's financial information and compiling a "draft" financial statement for the City in October 2013. Since that time a substantial amount of time and resources have been spent on the performance of the Single Audit and review of the EDA's financial information. California State law eliminated redevelopment agencies effective February 2012. The accounting required to properly report the dissolution of the EDA is complex. The EDA's financial administration was handled by a completely separate finance staff in a separate PCketg'� Updated:4/3/2014 by Linda Sutherland � 5.L . 3024 location,with a separate financial accounting system. To properly record the dissolution of the EDA, the seven months activity of the EDA for the period ending January 31, 2012 is reported as a component of the City. The EDA dissolves on January 31, 2012 and the Successor Agency of the EDA is established February 1, 2012. The five months of activity in the former EDA for the period ended June 30,2012 is fiduciary fund of the City as the Successor Agency. f RAMS also utilized the services of a subcontract auditing firm,Eadie &Payne, LLP,to perform much of the Successor Agency audit work. Eadie&Payne, LLP reported the audit outcome to RAMS for inclusion and collectively reporting the City's financial statements for all governmental activities. Another challenge facing the audit was the loss of a key managing partner from Eadie&Payne before the audit was completed. This amendment to the existing contract reflects the complexity of audit requirements of the City's financial information for Fiscal Year 2011-2012. The final audit will result in a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR) collectively showing the City's basic financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2012. It is understood the City will present its financial statements in the form of a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The original fee for audit services from RAMS was $53,400 for the City. Because of the change from the Economic Development Agency to the Successor Agency during the 2010 - 2011 FY the audit requires including both agencies in order to satisfy all legal requirements. Upon completion of the EDA audits,the two entities are then included in the City's financial statements. An audit process can be a very taxing experience for staff therefore, it was believed the use of RAMS brought a continuity factor, one that would benefit the audit process. Due to the complexity of the audit process and the challenges related to recreating many of the transactions without the benefit of prior staff it is anticipated to complete this project, a contract amendment is required in the amount of$174,900 for a total contract amount not to exceed $228,300. The increase audit expenditure of$174,900 was approved by the Mayor and Common Council upon adoption of the Mid-year budget adjustments on February 17, 2014. Bankruptcy does bring a complexity to the audit process not faced by other City audits. The City did a Request For Proposal for Auditing Services in July 2013 and the bids varied between $218,000 to $374,000. Many auditing firms declined to bid. The additional amount required to complete this project is in line with these proposals.
