Background:
The City of Broken Arrow requested proposals from qualified Certified Public Accounting firms to perform the annual audit for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2012. These services included the Fiscal Year 2012 audit and related Single Audit pertaining to expenditures and compliance with Federal Awards and the compilation of the State Auditor and Inspector’s report. Based on the proposals received, City staff recommended and the City Council approved the firm of Arledge and Associates P.C. to conduct the Fiscal Year 2012 audit.
It was anticipated that the firm selected would be retained, subject to satisfactory performance, to perform the audit for the subsequent three to four years. Staff recommends that the Council approve the firm of Arledge & Associates P.C. to conduct the Fiscal Year 2016 audit at a not-to-exceed fee of $69,000.00. This will be the fourth year of performing the City’s audit. The fee for the Fiscal Year 2015 audit was $66,000.00. Staff anticipates that the audit will be completed for presentation to the Council in December 2016. Funds are budgeted for $34,500.00 each in the respective General Fund and BAMA Finance Departments operating budgets.
