SUBJECT:dit Services County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize Chairwoman, Board of Supervisors, to
execute an agreement for audit services for the 1984-1985 fiscal
year with the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. in the amount
of $49,950.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 1983-1984 agreement with the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell
& Co. was in the amount of $44 , 000; $24 , 000 allocated to the
Grand Jury and $20 , 000 to the Board of Supervisors. The new
agreement totals $49 ,950 - a $5,950 increase - and allocates
$27,475 to the Grand Jury and $22,475 to the Board of
Supervisors.
BACKGROUND
An outside audit of county government financial affairs is an
annual requirement and is provided for in the California State
Statutes Penal Code Section 926 and Government Code Section
25250. It has proved beneficial and cost effective to utilize
the same audit firm for several years to allow that firm to
develop expertise with respect to county operations. The firm of
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. has provided this service for the
past three years and has been recommended by the Grand Jury for
an additional year. A new RFP and rotation of firms is
anticipated after an approximate five-year cycle.
