'9 COUK�
SUBJECT: Contract for Audit Services — Single Audit, CAFR, Internal Audits, Training
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Auditor-Controller, or designee, to amend the
contract with Terry Vanden Heuvel to provide specialized auditing services by increasing the
payment limit from $25,000 to $100,000 for the period of May 1, 2006 through May 1, 2007
and expanding the scope to include staff training and conducting internal audits.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for the amendment will be funded by anticipated salary savings within the current FY
2006-2007 budget of the Auditor-Controller.
BACKGROUND:
Within the past several months, the Office of the Auditor-Controller's Internal Audit division has
undergone major turnover due to retirements, promotions, and terminations resulting in almost an
entirely new Internal Audit staff.
Initially the Contractor, Terry Vanden Heuvel, was hired to perform the ingle Audit and assist with
preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The Contractor retired in
March 2006 after serving 18 years as an auditor assigned to the Internal Audit Division. Recently,
the Office filled all of its vacant auditor positions with beginning-level professional audit staff and,
because of the Contractor's in-depth audit knowledge, skills, and relevant experience with Contra
Costa County, his services are also needed to successfully train the new staff and assist them to
conduct internal audits.
