INFORMATION: The Town contracted with Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (DHG), to perform an independent audit and prepare financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The audit and financial statements were to be submitted to the Local Government Commission (LGC) by October 31, 2021 with a grace period extending to December 31, 2021. Unfortunately, the audit and financial statements did not get submitted until January 24, 2022. This delay was due to turnover of staff at DHG in October and not realizing until November the Town needed to have single audit for state and federal financial assistance.
The LGC has requested that we amend this contract to reflect the actual date of submission of the audit and financial statements. There is no increase in the cost of the contract.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the item.
RECOMMENDATION:r That the Council authorize a no cost extension of the contract with DHG to January 24, 2024, the date of submission of Town audit and financial statements to the LGC; and, authorize the Mayor to sign the contract amendment as required by the North Carolina Local Government Commission.
