We will examine the City's financial transactions, accounts and reports as well as perform an evaluation of the City's compliance with applicable state and local laws and regulations. Our exami- nation will be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and will include such auditing procedures as we consider necessary to accomplish this purpose. These procedures will include tests by statistical sampling, where feasible, of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts. In addition, confirmations with legal counsel, banks, customers and tax and fee collectors will be part of the audit engagement. Although defalcations and similar irregularities may occasionally be disclosed by this type of examination, it is not designed for this purpose and should not be relied on to disclose fraud, should any exsist. However, if anything appears to us during our examination to be unusual or abnormal, we will report it to you immediately. We will issue a management letter at the conc 1 usion of our audit which is intended to assist the City 's officers and administration in the efficient and economical performance of their duties. Further, we will prepare the Annual Financial Report of Units of Local Government including a management letter, the Annual Financial Report - Uniform Transportation Program, and adusting journal entries for general ledger posting. We will also be available during the year to consult with you on the effects of any proposed transactions or contemplated changes in fiancial operating policies. ~f~ ~ Wf1 w;,~Jt.-h?
