RE: AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF OAKLAND COUNTY
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE

Mr. Chairman, Ladies & Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Federal Revenue Sharing Act, as amended,
requires recipient governments to have an independent financial
and compliance audit of all funds every three (3) years beginning
in 1977; and
WHEREAS, the constitution of the State of Michigan designates
the State Department of Treasury as the agency with the
authority to conduct county audits; and
WHEREAS, the Office of Revenue Sharing and the State Department
of Treasury have determined that the audits currently performed
by the Department of Treasury do not meet the entire mandate of the
Revenue Sharing Act; and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General of the State of Michigan has
ruled that the State Department of Treasury is the only agency
that can satisfy the constitution audit requirement for counties; and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General has further ruled that contracts
with private C.P.A. firms for county audits must be responsible to
the State DeparLiient of Treasury; and
. WHEREAS, it is necessary and desirable that Oakland County
obtain an independent audit which satisfys both the Federal Revenue
Sharing Act and the constitution of the State of Michigan and to do
so in the most economical manner.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the County Executive to negotiate a contract
with the Michigan Department of Treasury for a financial and
compliance audit of all funds. Such audit to be performed by an
independent C.P.A. firm acting as the agent of the Department of Treasury.
