M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER DATE: June 23, 2008 SUBJECT: PRESENTATION FROM CITY AUDITOR (LANCE SOLL AND LUNGHARD, LLP) REGARDING THE NEW ROLE OF COUNCILMEMBERS IN THE AUDIT PROCESS RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the information from the City Auditors regarding Council's new role in the audit process and direct staff as necessary to meet the new requirements. BACKGROUND: Beginning with the 2007-08 fiscal year auditors of California cities must comply with the requirements of the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 114, "The Auditors Communication With Those Charged With Governance". Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) are issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and apply to all industries in connection with the financial statement audit. SAS No.1 14 is one of a series of statements intended to improve the auditing process as a result of perceived audit failures in connection with companies such as Enron. The statements are also an attempt to narrow the "expectation gap" between the CPAs' understanding of the services they provide and the public's expectation of those services. Mr. Richard Kikuchi, a Partner in the City's Audit firm, will be outlining the new requirements for Council and scope of the responsibilities of the audit firm. Particularly as they relate to the upcoming audit of the FY 2007-08 financial statements. FISCAL IMPACT: / 72 LL 6 , `1/
