City Audit Report (comp_rehensive Annual Financial Report) For 1984: <br /> <br />Mr. John Lilja of Deloitte, Haskins anbd Sells was present to review the <br />conclusion of the 1984 City audit. Mr. Lilja stated that the auditors received <br />excellent cooperation fr~m City Staff during the audit and noted that his firm <br />will miss working with Ms. Haapala as she will be employed by the City of <br />Cottage Grove in the very near future. Mr. Lilja stated that computer <br />generated data was used in the audit and he thinks the City's computerization <br />was a move in the right direction. Mr. Lilja stated that the Comprehensive <br />Annual Financial report should achieve the City's 4th Certificate of <br />Conformance. Mr. Lilja stated that this audit report will be verbal as <br />Ramsey's financial matters are in excellent order; a written report is only <br />necessary when there are significant items to note. Mr. Lilja stated that his <br />firm is oooperating with the City of Ramsey in the process of finding a <br />replacement for Ms. Haapala. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle inquired if Mr. Lilja can see a difference in Ramsey since <br />computerization. <br /> <br />Mr. Lilja replied that his firm sees that schedules are prepared more readily <br />in Ramsey since o0mputerization. Mr. Lilja noted that a lot of the actual <br />accounting implementation was for 1985 and this audit was concerned with 1984; <br />information recieved has improved with respect to timeliness and things should <br />continue to improve as the City has been on computers for only one year. <br /> <br />Mr. Lilja noted that there is a revised Compliance Audit Guide for next year <br />which requires additional information and in turn will require additional <br />manpower hours; the fee for audit may increase several hundred dollars because <br />of the new requir~ents. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Schlueter and seconded by Mayor Heitman to receive <br />Deloitte, Haskins and Sells audit opinion of the City of Ramsey's Comprehensive <br />Annual Financial Report for the year 1984 and auditor's management coxments on <br />said doc~ent. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
