RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Auditor-Controller, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Cropper Rowe, LLP, to extend the termination date from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022, to perform annual audits of certain grants, including the County Metropolitan Transportation Fund, certain Transportation and Development Act projects, and other miscellaneous projects as identified and directed by the Auditor-Controller.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Audit fees are paid out of the general fund and then reimbursed by grant or program.

BACKGROUND:

Certain grants and other funds and projects require independent certified annual financial audits. The Auditor-Controller has had a contract in place with Cropper Rowe, LLP for the last few years and needs to extend the term of the contract one year to finish audits currently being conducted. The Auditor-Controller plans to issue a new Request for Proposal for the required certified audits and written reports in June, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Auditor-Controller would not be able to remit payment for work currently being performed for independent certified annual financial audits.
