The audit must be completed, approved by the City Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and submitted to the State by December 31 each year. To facilitate a thorough review process, city management prefers the audit firm's final draft of the report be ready by December 1, allowing time for internal evaluation before the monthly Board meeting, which is typically held on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. The December meeting includes a study session specifically to discuss audit findings, and audit firm representatives are expected to attend this session on the same evening. City offices operate Monday through Thursday, 7:15 am to 5:15 pm, and auditors should consider these hours when scheduling interactions with management, except for the Board meetings.
