Staff members are assigned to an engagement for the length of the contract period. Therefore, the originally assigned personnel will remain involved with the City of Sunny Isles Beach annual financial audit. Should an audit staff terminate employment, HCT will provide a replacement with equal or greater experience. With open communication between City Management and HCT's Partner Group, we will identify and anticipate any significant problems before they occur. AUDIT APPROACH: In the course of preliminary evaluation, HCT will ascertain the level of control awareness in the City and existence (or non-existence) of control standards. The preliminary evaluation will identify 1 potential key controls and any serious key control weaknesses. For each control objective, auditors will determine whether or not the objective has been achieved; if not, we will assess the significance and risks involved with due to control deficiencies. After completing the preliminary evaluation of the computer systems, HCT will determine the appropriate audit approach. Below, HCT has documented the proposed audit approach, including a general work plan, level of staffing, estimated hours per segment, an explanation of audit methodology, and other information related to the specific audit approach. This is a general work plan and is subject to change based on the City's schedule and varying audit issues. If awarded the contract, we will coordinate with The City's management to provide a finalized plan. Any changes to the initial plan resulting from the audit results will be discussed with the City Management immediately, with written notice one week prior to scheduled activities. For efficiency, HCT will perform internal control evaluations, including gaining an understanding of the City's control procedures and documentation of that understanding through flowcharts, narratives, questionnaires and summary schedules. Depending on the results of our internal control analysis and our assessment of the City's control risks, we will perform dual purpose tests of controls and detailed balances and perform corroborating analytics and predictive procedures. • Preliminary Planning (Estimated at 40 hours) • Tests of Controls/Information Systems (Estimated at 50 hours) • Substantive Testwork(Estimated at 240 hours) 8 1 1 • Post-fieldwork Tasks(Estimated at 40 hours) • Extent and Use of EDP software in the engagement ' Information management has become a vital process in both public and private entities. Our audit software will be used to analyze data for integrity in input, processing and output, and interfacing. We use complementary tools for results comparison when necessary. HCT's information technology auditors perform data analysis to verify the accuracy of client data, whether text or numerical. They manipulate client data to create randomly generated samples so they can identify potential errors and minimize risk. We have staff with experienced data mining skills including the ' use of complex data mining software such as ACL and IDEA. HCT utilizes auditing software and paperless working paper documentation and up-to-date t technology to ensure the most efficient and effective performance of the audit engagement and to offer the best service for the City. t We perform analytical procedures as required as a part of the overall planning process during our substantive testing and at the end of our fieldwork as a part of our overall Partner and Concurring Partner reviews. During planning, we analyze the major transaction cycles and the types of transactions comprising those cycles in order to determine testing procedures. During substantive work, we analyze line item amounts using trend analysis, percentage of total, and percentage change between years, on a fund-by-fund basis. Prior to analysis, we develop expectations based on discussions with the client, questionnaires, risk assessment analysis, examination of the budgets, minutes and through other methods. Additionally, depending on the results of tests of controls, we often utilize analytics in conjunction with detailed testing of account balances. To gain an understanding on document control procedures and management information system processes; HCT will assess preliminary Control Risk, Detection Risk, and Inherent Risk in order to evaluate overall Control Risk and to determine what controls can be relied upon to minimize our substantive work performed. Based on this assessment, we will develop programs to test identified and documented controls and select samples (utilizing statistical sampling) to provide for a confidence rate of at least 90 percent. We will also utilize dual purpose testing during our single audit procedures to test the overall disbursement controls within the City. HCT will perform walkthroughs for all key areas of controls based upon source documentations selection. Additionally, we will interview heads of departments to gain an understanding for the narrative processes for all of the areas of the City that receive and disburse cash, including payroll. We have an internal control and compliance specialist on staff who will perform these tests for the City. Once HCT has documented its understanding of all key controls, we will perform a final assessment of Control Risk based on results of test work. (See above for detailed explanation regarding HCT's sample selection process). !ACT's approach in determining laws and regulations that will be subject to audit testwork involves research of applicable State and Federal Statutes, local ordinances, the Auditor General etc. We monitor new laws and maintain up-to-date training to ensure we have timely knowledge of any changes that affect our industry or our clients. Information is obtained through examination of the 9 I I I law/ordinance creating the municipality. We interview the City's Commission, Management and contact our associates at the Auditor General and, if necessary, Federal contacts (such as cognizant agents or grantor agencies). We also review minutes, prior to leaving the field, to ensure we have O complete understanding of any new Board mandates or ordinances. We examine the entities' policies and procedures to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations. And, finally, before leaving the field or opining on compliance, we obtain attorney confirmation letters to substantiate any contingent liabilities that may arise due to pending litigation as well as perform a search for related party transactions. As part of our single audit testing, we will test to determine if the City is in Compliance with all of the requirements under OMB A-133 Federal Single Audit Act and (if required) the Florida State Single Audit Act. Our sample selection will be derived from our detailed risk assessment for the City, which will include a detailed review of prior audit findings and results, as well as our analysis of the overall control risk for the City. We utilize state of the art software to help develop sample sizes and plan the Single Audit, and this in turn helps us determine optimal selections to get the required coverage needed to gain audit comfort. By forming a relationship with HCT, the City personnel will benefit from a structured approach that draws on the broad skills of a team of experienced professionals who will service your account. The firm members are available, within 8 hours of notice, for telephone conference calls, and we are able to be on site within 24 hours, or less, if needed. Our engagement management style is experience, "team focus" and "personal attention". Clients that have experienced other accounting firms quickly discover the difference in working with HCT. We provide our clients with a competitive advantage, the benefit of knowledge such as "lessons learned," service innovations, value-creating ideas, engagement management tools and best practices. We will offer these kinds of experiences throughout all levels of the City audit experience. REFERENCES: We audit several similar governmental entities/ local governments.
