Examination of the records and internal control of the City of Oshkosh including: 1, General City 2. Water Utility 3. Sewerage Utility 4, Parking Utility— _- 5. One of the four departments of museum,_library, golf course or municipal pool 6. The accounts of the Oshkosh Area Public Schools will be excluded, B. At the conclusion of our engagement, we will submit a management letter which will contain comments regarding weaknesses in internal control or other suggestions re- lating to systems which we observed during the examina- tion. C. Preparation of the financial portion of the "Public Service Commission Report". In the past the city's personnel has prepared the °tAnnual Report to the Depart- ment of State Audit". Because of the detail needed an this report and the allocations that need to be made which are most practically made by city personnel, we have not included this in our proposal. Upon additional request, we will prepare a separate proposal for prepara- tion of this report or review of the report prepared by the city, �-�:�=:=D PU3UC ACCOUNTANTS • ILLINOIS • OH10 • COLORADO • WISCONSIN JJ WT7�7�7�R2�!'11 � ('(1TT�7 IiY i Mr, Richard Jansen Director of Administration City of Oshkosh page 2 September 24, 1976 _\` •a_..�..viti�� pur examination of the financial statements wi11 be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as formulated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, An essential part of the examina- tion wi11 be the review and evaluation of your system of internal control.
