MSLMOORE STEPHENS LOVELACE cras& ADVISORS cemaiaman TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS Profile of the Firm MSL is a Florida corporation that has been in continuous business for over 40 years and has grown to be one of the largest independently owned and operated firms of certified public accountants in the Southeast. We are a nationally recognized CPA firm, serving clients in more than 20 states and eight countries. Many of our shareholders are nationally recognized specialists in their field of practice. The Firm and all of its CPAs are actively involved with the FICPA and AICPA, as well as the Private Companies Practice Section of the AICPA. Members of our GPG are involved with the AICPA's Governmental Audit Quality Center(AICPA GAQC). An independent firm associated with Through our association with Moore Stephens North America, Inc. and Moore MOORE STEPHEN Stephens International Limited, we service clients throughout the world. While we are part of a network that provides us resources when needed, MSL is an independent Firm associated with Moore Stephens North America and Moore Stephens International Limited for the purposes of obtaining national or international resources,when necessary. This association and the breadth and depth of services available to our clients are equivalent to those offered by the Big 4 firms. These services are enhanced by a more hands-on, personalized approach to serving client needs through our local headquarters. Because Moore Stephens North American firms are independent of one another, the accessibility of multiple professional services can be offered in a "one- stop shop" approach. Contrast this with the Big 4 firms: under the current regulatory environment, you would be required to obtain one service from one firm (e.g., attest) and look elsewhere for another firm to service your other business needs. We have collaborated with many other Moore Stephens firms. Our access to national and international resources allows us to provide the best local solutions for your organization. Office Locations We have four office locations: Central Florida (Orlando), South Florida (Miami),the Tampa Bay area, and North Florida (Tallahassee). The location of our office that services the South Florida area is 701 Brickell Avenue, Suite 550 Miami, FL 33131 and our Central Florida office, located at 255 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 600, Orlando, FL 32801. We will be utilizing staff from both of these locations. Firm's Experience in Providing Accounting and Auditing Services to Florida Local Governments Our experience in providing auditing and consulting services to our governmental sector clients will make MSL a valuable resource to the City year round; not just during the audit. Our involvement with and knowledge of the state and national standards setters (GASB, AICPA, GAO and Florida Auditor General) helps support our goal to always meet and exceed the requirements of these organizations. We encourage you to review the specific experience by your engagement team members, as listed in their individual résumés in the Résumés section. The experience and depth our staff has will be obvious. All engagement team members have experience in auditing entities similar in size and with the same activity types as the City. All audit team members have experience auditing all fund types (General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Enterprise, Internal Service and Fiduciary). Many of our municipal clients have both blended and discretely presented component units which all audit team members have experience with. We have reviewed the City's CAFR, and there were no funds or activities that we are not fully capable of auditing. 'moi:,o• 71
