Our existing workload will not interfere with meeting the <br /> requirements under the audit services being requested by Indian River County. We will plan to work with <br /> County personnel to achieve optimum timing of our procedures, currently anticipated as follows : <br /> Board of County Commissioners, Constitutional Officers, and Indian River County Housing Authority : <br /> Planning July <br /> Evaluation of internal controls August - September <br /> Interim testing August - September <br /> Year-end procedures November - December <br /> Issue reports December - January <br /> Approximately 20% of our estimated hours are anticipated to be provided during the first three segments <br /> and the remainder during year-end procedures . Approximately 25 % of the total engagement hours are <br /> anticipated to be devoted to the Constitutional Officers, 10% devoted to the Indian River County Housing <br /> Authority, and the remainder devoted to the Board of County Commissioners . <br /> The larger percentage of partner and manager hours will be during the planning and year-end procedures <br /> phases ; however, considerable partner and manager involvement will be provided throughout all phases <br /> of the audit. This will ensure that Indian River County is served by experienced professionals that fully <br /> understand audit and accounting requirements . Further, this arrangement allows us to streamline and <br /> maximize engagement efficiencies . <br /> 30 <br />
