g Audit for 1968 _ Anthony J. N�ssuri
Mr. Anthony J. Messuri of Jackson, Messuri & Hunt CPA's was recognized and stated that he was
present to discuss the City audit. He told the Council that one of the problems was the time involved in
performing an audit and the time for the City audit seemed to vary anywhere from 185 to 210 hours, that in
the past five years they had met their fee schedule twice and had come under their fee schedule three times,
without a fee change since the 1962 audit. Mr. Messuri stated further that there were other problems, with
one being the increased costs in Labor for them and, today he had found that they were being asked to in-
crease their audit procedure in that they now had to send out confi motions on accounts receivable and this
would require some additional work on their part. He said that, in order for them,to do this in the shortest
possible period, they would need to get together with the Clerk in December to send out negative confirmation
on the billings.
Mr. Messuri referred to the city expenditures for the past five years which indicated the increased
work in testing, also, 'bond issues and the additional time required with these. He said that because of
!ihese increased costs, they were requesting an increase in fee for doing the audit from $1,800, to $2,100.
maximum in order for them to keep within their fee schedule and the audit standards.
Mayor Smith told Mr. Messuri that the Council would consider their request and let them know at a
I
,later date. Mr. Massuri then excused himself from the meeting.
