The Municipality has taken all necessary administrative measures to ensure compliance with the requirement to complete and submit the Single Audit Act. The Municipality has established a formal audit compliance calendar with interim milestones covering audit procurement/engagement, planning, fieldwork, issuance of draft reports, management review, and submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Municipality has accelerated the procurement process to contract auditors earlier in the fiscal year and will include clear deliverables, target dates, and communication expectations in the audit engagement agreement. The Finance Department has prepared and maintains a standardized prepared-by-client (PBC) package to ensure that all required schedules and supporting documentation (including financial statement support, trial balances, and federal awards documentation such as the SEFA) are provided to auditors in a timely manner. Periodic status meetings have been held with responsible personnel and external auditors to monitor progress, promptly identify delays, and implement corrective measures to ensure the reporting package is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse before the 9-month deadline.
