RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare, and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment with Conrad & Associates,
LLP to perform on-line attestation of Financial Data Schedules (FDS) for
the Santa Ana Housing Authority in a total amount not to exceed $3,000.
DISCUSSION
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides guidelines
on reporting and attestation requirements, Uniform Financial Reporting
Standards (UFRS), for Public Housing Authorities. According to the
submission requirements in the UFRS, the Authority is required to submit
an unaudited Financial Data Schedule (FDS) by August 31 of each year and
audited submission within nine months of fiscal year end. The audited
submission is required to include several attachments from the City's
Basic Financial Statements and Single Audit Report for each fiscal year
beginning in 2002.
Since the current audit provider for the City, Conrad and Associates,
LLP, is completing its overall audit services for the City, the City's
Housing Authority requested that the auditor services include the audit
and FDS submission requirements required by HUD. In order to ensure
compliance, staff recommends expanding the scope of services.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these services are available in the Accounting Division budget
(account no. 11-171-6191).
