City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida -6- September 7, 2010 OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General require that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major programs and projects. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and Department of Financial Services' State Projects Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major programs and projects. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs and projects in our report on compliance issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, accounts receivable, or other confirmations we request, account analysis and reconciliations, and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. It is management's responsibility to submit the reporting package (including financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings, auditors' reports, and corrective action plan), along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. We will coordinate with you the electronic submission and certification. If applicable, we will provide copies of our report for you to include with the reporting package you will submit to pass-through entities. The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a longer period is agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audits. The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP and constitutes confidential information. However, pursuant to authority given by law or regulation, we may be requested to make certain audit documentation available to an oversight agency or its designee, a federal or state agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Governmental Accountability Office for purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the report release or for any additional period requested by the oversight agency. If we are aware that a federal or state awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation.
