HALL ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY Date Page 17 of 26 Packet Pg. 1683 M.6.b ATTACHMENT A This attachment supplements provisions of the basic audit contract between the COUNTY and AUDITOR. Scope of Services 1. The financial statement audit of the COUNTY for each year under this contract will include an audit of the basic financial statements of the COUNTY as of September 30"' and for the year ended, including the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely ca presented component unit, each major fund and the remaining fund information. The financial statement audit of the Board of County Commissions and each Constitutional Officer will include an audit of each major fund and remaining fund information. The financial statement audit of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority will include an audit of the governmental activities and the major fund. 2. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America provide for certain required supplementary information("RSI"), such as management's discussion and analysis,to accompany the basic financial statements. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the RSI. These limited procedures will consist principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation, which management is responsible for affirming to the AUDITOR in its representation letter. 3. Supplementary information, other than RSI, also accompanies the basic financial statements. The AUDITOR will subject such supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied e in the audit of the basic financial statements and will provide an opinion on it in relation to the M basic financial statements. 4. Additional information, such as the introductory section and statistical section, will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements, and, ca accordingly, the auditor's report will disclaim an opinion on such information. 5. The AUDITOR will examine compliance with the requirements of Florida Statutes specified in Chapter 10.550, Rule 10.556(10), of the Florida Auditor General. 00 c� Accounting and other services The AUDITOR will provide the following additional services: 1. Complete the appropriate sections of and sign the Data Collection Form. 04 YOUR EXPECTATIONS The AUDITOR's services plan, which includes its audit plan, is designed to provide a foundation for an effective, efficient, and quality-focused approach to accomplish the engagement objectives and meet or exceed the COUNTY'S.expectations. The AUDITOR'S service plan will be reviewed with the COUNTY periodically and will serve as a benchmark against which the COUNTY will be able to measure the AUDITOR'S performance. Any additional services that the COUNTY may request, and that the AUDITOR agrees to provide, will be the subject of separate written arrangements. The COUNTY recognizes that professional standards require that the AUDITOR be independent from the COUNTY in our audit of the COUNTY'S financial statements and our accompanying Page 18 of 26 Packet Pg. 1684 report in order to ensure that the AUDITOR'S objectivity and professional skepticism have not been compromised. As a result, the AUDITOR cannot enter into a fiduciary relationship with the COUNTY and the COUNTY should not expect that the AUDITOR will act only with due regard to the COUNTY'S interest in the performance of this audit and the COUNTY should not impose on the AUDITOR special confidence that we will conduct this audit with only the COUNTY'S interest in mind. Because of our obligation to be independent of the COUNTY, no fiduciary relationship will be created by this engagement or audit of the COUNTY'S financial statements. AUDIT SERVICES The objective of an audit is the expression of opinions as to whether the COUNTY'S basic financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects,in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the additional information referred to in the Summary of Services section when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The objective also includes reporting on: • Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. • Internal control related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with laws, regulations and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance') and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. The reports on internal control and compliance will each include a paragraph that states that the purpose of the report is solely to describe (1) the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the 00 effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance, and (2) the scope of testing internal control over compliance for major programs and major program compliance and the result of that testing and to provide an opinion on compliance but not to provide an opinion on I-I the effectiveness of internal control over compliance, and (3) that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering internal control over financial reporting and compliance and with Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements (2 CFR 200), and State Single Audit Implementation 0 Act (Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida) in considering internal control over compliance and major program compliance. The paragraph will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. The audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; State Single Audit Implementation Act and OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements (2 CFR 200) Chapter 10.550,Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and Page 19 of 26 Packet Pg. 1685 will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements (2 CFR 200), and other procedures as deemed necessary to enable us to express such opinions and to render the required reports. The AUDITOR will issue a written report upon completion of its audit of the financial statements. The AUDITOR cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify the AUDITOR'S opinion or add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs. If the opinion is other than unmodified, the AUDITOR will discuss the reasons with the COUNTY in advance. If, for any reason,the AUDITOR is unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or has not formed an opinion, the AUDITOR may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or may withdraw from this engagement. In addition to audit requirements specified, the AUDITOR will provide examinations of compliance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, and Sections 365.72 and 365.173, Florida �? Statutes, in relation to compliance matters relevant to investment policy and E911 funds, respectively, and Sections 28.35, 28.36, and 61.181, Florida Statutes, in relation to compliance E matters relevant to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. These examinations, which are required by Chapter 10.550, Rule 10.556(10) of the Auditor General, State of Florida, will be conducted in E accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and will include examining, on a best basis, evidence of the COUNTY'S compliance with aforementioned Florida Statutes, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express an opinion. Because of the inherent limitations of an examination engagement, together with the inherent limitations of internal controls, an unavoidable risk exists that material noncompliance may not be detected, even though the examination is properly planned and performed in accordance with attestation standards. The COUNTY is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to the AUDITOR and for the accuracy and completeness of that information,including representations incorporated in the representation letter to be provided in connection with the audit of the financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance based on our examination. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER SERVICES 00 Data Collection Form The AUDITOR will complete the appropriate sections of and sign the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. The AUDITOR will provide copies of our reports to the COUNTY; i however, 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, auditor's reports,and corrective action plan)along with the Data Collection Form to the designated federal audit clearinghouse and, if appropriate,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 auditor's reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. Management's responsibilities related to accounting and other services For all non-attest services we perform in connection with the engagement, you are responsible for designating a competent employee to oversee the services, make any management decisions, perform any management functions related to the services, evaluate the adequacy of the services, and accept overall responsibility for the results of the services. Page 20 of 26 Packet Pg. 1686 M.6.b Prior to the release of the report, Management will need to sign a representation letter acknowledging your responsibility for the results of these services. MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES RELATED TO THE AUDIT Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal controls, including evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; following laws and regulations; and ensuring that the COUNTY'S management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. Management is also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and all accompanying information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted �s accounting principles, and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements. Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. The COUNTY is also responsible for providing us with(1) access to all information of which it is aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, (2)additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit, and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. 0 Management is responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in conformity with GAAP. Management agrees to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains and indicates that we have reported on the supplementary information. Management also agrees to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon or make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon. 00 �s Management is also responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements, informing us of events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date until the date of the auditor's report that might affect the financial statements or related disclosures and informing us of any discovery of facts related to items that existed at the financial statement date I- that might affect the financial statements or related disclosures. Management is responsible for informing us of its views regarding the risk of fraud and must inform us of its knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud received in 0 communications from employees, former employees, regulators, or others. Additionally, Management must inform us about all known or suspected fraud involving (a) Management, (b) employees who have significant roles in internal control,and(c) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management is responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls over financial reporting and to prevent and detect fraud. Appropriate supervisory review procedures are necessary to provide reasonable assurance that adopted policies and prescribed procedures are adhered to and to identify errors and fraud or illegal acts. As a part of our audit, we will consider Page 21 of 26 Packet Pg. 1687 M.6.b the internal control structure, as required by GAAS, sufficient to plan the audit and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of auditing procedures necessary for expressing our opinion concerning the financial statements. An audit is not designed to provide any assurance on internal controls. As part of the AUDITOR'S consideration of the internal control structure, the AUDITOR will inform the COUNTY of matters that come to its attention that represent significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of the internal control structure. Management is responsible for establishment and maintenance of a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying to us previous audits or other engagements or studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit ca Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits or other engagements or studies. The COUNTY is also responsible for providing management's views on AUDITOR'S current findings, conclusions and recommendations, as well as the COUNTY'S planned corrective actions, and the timing and format related thereto. E The COUNTY agrees to assume all the COUNTY'S management responsibilities relating to the E financial statements and related notes and any other nonaudit services we provide. The COUNTY will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter AUDITOR'S assistance LO with preparation of the financial statements and related notes and that the COUNTY has reviewed and approved the financial statements and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them. Further, the COUNTY agrees to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or U experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them. The AUDITOR will rely on Management providing these representations to the AUDITOR, both in the planning and performance of the audit, and in considering the fees that we will charge to perform the audit. Because AUDITOR will be relying on Management's representations,you agree ca to indemnify the AUDITOR, and its partners and employees, and hold them harmless from all claims, liabilities, losses, and costs arising in circumstances where there has been a known misrepresentation by an officer or employee of the COUNTY regardless of whether such officer 00 or employee was acting in the COUNTY'S interest, and even if the A UDITOR acted negligently or wrongfully in failing to uncover or detect such misrepresentation.This indemnification will survive termination of this letter. LIMITATIONS OF THE AUDIT PROCESS U- In conducting the audit, the AUDITOR will perform tests of the accounting records and such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances to provide a reasonable basis for our opinions on the financial statements.The AUDITOR also will assess the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the COUNTY'S management, as well as evaluate the overall financial statement presentation. The audit will include procedures designed to obtain reasonable assurance of detecting misstatements due to errors or fraud that are material to the financial statements. Absolute assurance is not attainable because of the nature of audit evidence and the characteristics of fraud. For example, audits performed in accordance with GAAS are based on the concept of selective testing of the data being examined and are, therefore, subject to the limitation that material Page 22 of 26 Packet Pg. 1688 M.6.b misstatements due to errors or fraud, if they exist, may not be detected. Also, an audit is not designed to detect matters that are immaterial to the financial statements. In addition, an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS does not include procedures specifically designed to detect illegal acts having an indirect effect (e.g., violations of fraud and abuse statutes that result in fines or penalties being imposed on the COUNTY) on the financial statements. Similarly, in performing our audit the AUDITOR will be aware of the possibility that illegal acts may have occurred. However, it should be recognized that the audit provides no assurance that illegal acts generally will be detected, and only reasonable assurance that illegal acts having a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts will be detected. The ca AUDITOR will inform you with respect to errors and fraud, or illegal acts that come to its attention during the course of the audit unless clearly inconsequential. In the event that the AUDITOR has to consult with the COUNTY'S counsel or counsel of our choosing regarding any illegal acts the AUDITOR identifies, additional fees incurred may be billed to the COUNTY. The COUNTY agrees it will cooperate fully with any procedures it deems necessary to perform with respect to E these matters. The AUDITOR will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the COUNTY'S financial statements. If, for any reason,the AUDITOR is unable to complete the audit, or is unable to form, or has not formed an opinion on the financial statements, the AUDITOR may decline to express an opinion or decline to issue a report as a result of the engagement. The AUDITOR will notify the appropriate party within the COUNTY of its decision and discuss the reasons supporting its position. U M AUDIT PROCEDURES—GENERAL An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve professional judgment about the number ca of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the COUNTY'S management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of 00 the financial statements. AUDITOR will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, N whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the County or to acts by the COUNTY'S management or employees acting on behalf of the COUNTY. Because the determination of abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal U control, and because AUDITOR will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by AUDITOR, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or major programs. However, AUDITOR will inform the appropriate level of the COUNTY'S management of any material errors and fraud, or illegal acts that come to our attention during the course of our audit. AUDITOR will Page 23 of 26 Packet Pg. 1689 M.6.b also inform the COUNTY of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as AUDITOR is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditor. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, creditors and financial institutions. AUDITOR will request written representations from attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill the COUNTY for responding to this inquiry. At the ca conclusion of its audit,AUDITOR will also require certain written representations from COUNTY about the financial statements; compliance with laws,regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and other responsibilities required by generally accepted auditing standards. AUDIT PROCEDURES —INTERNAL CONTROLS Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the COUNTY and its environment, including internal controls, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, during the audit, we will communicate to the ca COUNTY'S management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, and Government Auditing Standards. c� AUDIT PROCEDURES - COMPLIANCE 04 As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free of i material misstatement, we will perform tests of the COUNTY'S compliance with provisions of applicable laws and regulations, contracts and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. e NONATTEST SERVICES All nonattest services to be provided in the attached engagement letter (if applicable) shall be provided pursuant to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct requires that we establish objectives of the engagement and the services to be performed, which are described under nonattest services in the attached letter. Page 24 of 26 Packet Pg. 1690 You agree that the COUNTY'S designated individual will assume all the COUNTY'S management responsibilities for the nonattest services we provide; oversee the services by designating an individual, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of the services; and accept responsibility for them. In order to ensure we provide such services in compliance with all professional standards, the designated individual is responsible for- • Making all financial records and related information available to us. • Ensuring that all material information is disclosed to us. • Granting unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. • Identifying and ensuring that such nonattest complies with the laws and regulations. The accuracy and appropriateness of such nonattest services shall be limited by the accuracy and sufficiency of the information provided by the COUNTY'S designated individual. In the course of providing such nonattest services, we may provide professional advice and guidance based on knowledge of accounting,tax and other compliance, and of the facts and circumstances as provided by the COUNTY'S designated individual. Such advice and guidance shall be limited as permitted under the Code of Professional Conduct. COMMUNICATIONS At the conclusion of the audit engagement, we may provide the COUNTY'S management and those charged with governance a letter stating any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses which may have been identified by us during the audit and our recommendations designed to help the COUNTY make improvements in its internal control structure and operations related to the identified matters discovered in the financial statement audit. As part of this engagement we will ensure that certain additional matters are communicated to the appropriate members of the COUNTY. Such matters include(1) our responsibility under GAAS; (2)the initial selection of and changes in significant accounting policies and their application; (3) our independence with respect °8 to the COUNTY; (4)the process used by the COUNTY'S management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for our conclusion regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; (5) audit adjustments, if any,that could, in our judgment, either individually or in 00 the aggregate be significant to the financial statements or our report; (6) any disagreements with the COUNTY'S management concerning a financial accounting, reporting or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial statements; (7) our views about matters that were the subject i of the COUNTY'S management's consultation with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters; (8) major issues that were discussed with the COUNTY'S management in connection with the retention of our services, including, among other matters, any discussions regarding the application of accounting principles and auditing standards; and (9) serious difficulties that we encountered in dealing with the COUNTY'S management related to the performance of the audit. OTHER MATTERS Access to working papers The working papers and related documentation for the engagement are the property of the AUDITOR and constitute confidential information. AUDITOR has a responsibility to retain the documentation for a period of time to satisfy legal or regulatory requirements for records retention. Except as discussed below, any requests for access to our working papers will be discussed with Page 25 of 26 Packet Pg. 1691 M.6.b you prior to making them available to requesting parties. Any parties seeking access to our working papers must agree to sign our standard access letter. Auditor may be requested to make certain documentation available to regulators, governmental agencies (e.g., SEC, PCAOB, HUD, DOL, etc.) or their representatives ("Regulators")pursuant to law or regulations. If requested, access to the documentation will be provided to the Regulators. The Regulators may intend to distribute to others, including other governmental agencies, our working papers and related documentation without our knowledge or express permission. You hereby acknowledge and authorize us to allow Regulators access to and copies of documentation as requested. In addition, AUDITOR participates in a "peer review" program covering audit andca accounting practices as required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This program requires that once every three years AUDITOR subjects its quality assurance practices to an examination by another accounting firm. As part of the process, the other firm will review a sample of AUDITOR'S work. It is possible that the work AUDITOR performs for the COUNTY may be selected by the other firm for their review. If it is,they are bound by professional standards E to keep all information confidential. If COUNTY objects to having the work AUDITOR does for you reviewed by our peer reviewer, AUDITOR is to be notified in writing. LO Electronic transmittals During the course of the Agreement, the AUDITOR and COUNTY may need to electronically transmit confidential information to each other, internally, and to other entities engaged by either party. Although email is an efficient way to communicate, it is not always a secure means of communication and thus, confidentiality may be compromised. As an alternative, the COUNTY U may use AUDITOR'S Client Portal ("Portal")to transmit documents. Portal allows the COUNTY, AUDITOR, and other involved entities to upload and download documents in a secure location. You agree to the use of email, Portal, and other electronic methods to transmit and receive information, including confidential information between the AUDITOR, the COUNTY, and other ca third party providers utilized by either party in connection with the engagement. Subpoenas In the event we are requested or authorized by the COUNTY,or required by government regulation, 00 subpoena, or other legal process to produce our working papers or our personnel as witnesses with respect to our engagement, the COUNTY will, so long as we are not a party to the proceeding in which the information is sought,reimburse us for our professional time and expense, as well as the fees and expenses of our counsel, incurred in responding to such a request at standard billing rates. Dispute resolution procedures If any dispute, controversy or claim arises in connection with the performance or breach of this Agreement, either party may, on written notice to the other party, request that the matter be mediated. Such mediation would be conducted by a mediator acceptable to both parties. Both parties would exert their best efforts to discuss with each other in good faith their respective positions in an attempt to finally resolve such dispute, controversy, or claim. Waiver of Trial by Jury In the event the parties are unable to successfully mediate any dispute, controversy or claim, the parties agree to WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY and agree that the court will hear any matter without a jury.
