BACKGROUND:
Background
The City is required to obtain an annual audit of its financial statements. Purvis Gray and Company, LLC, is offering an engagement with the City to perform the annual audit through fiscal year 2023-2024 with the option to further extend the contract for subsequent years pending appropriation of funding for each additional fiscal year.
Continuance of these professional services allows for efficiency provided by the firm’s knowledge of the City and ensures objectivity via rotation of assigned audit staff. The rates proposed in this extension are comparable to those charged for audit services to other entities, and the vendor has demonstrated experience performing equivalent services for Deltona and other governments.
