According to the <br />submission requirements in the UFRS, the Authority is required to submit <br />an unaudited Financial Data Schedule (FDS) by August 31 of each year and <br />audited submission within nine months of fiscal year end. The audited <br />submission is required to include several attachments from the City's <br />Basic Financial Statements and Single Audit Report for each fiscal year <br />beginning in 2002. <br /> <br />Since the current audit provider for the City, Conrad and Associates, <br />LLP, is completing its overall audit services for the City, the City's <br />Housing Authority requested that the auditor services include the audit <br />and FDS submission requirements required by HUD. In order to ensure <br />compliance, staff recommends expanding the scope of services. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds for these services are available in the Accounting Division budget <br />(account no. 11-171-6191). <br /> <br />.~ \\t"l:, ~<t- ~'\(" '...) ~ 4 ~,~ <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Agency <br /> <br />251-1 <br />
