| 1 | | | Appointment | Submitting report relative to CAFR Auditor Selection. (This contract under review is to audit the FY 2016 - 2019 CAFRs. While it does not appear that Plante & Moran PLLC is technically in conflict of interest, it is clear the auditor selection process was tainted by participation in the selection process by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer members responsible for the preparation of the City’s financial statements to be audited. The Legislative Policy Division recommends that the Inspector General review the auditor selection process to determine any improprieties and ethics violations.)
