Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For
Highspire Borough
Audit Approach
We will audit the financial statements and the DCED reports for the governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds of Highspire Borough as of and for the years ending
December 31, 2025, 2026, and 2027. Our audits will be made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the financial statements and the DCED-CLGS-30, taken as a whole.
Our approach will begin at our interim date. We will gain an understanding of each organization’s
internal control structure. We will evaluate and make determinations on the following five
components of the internal control structure:
1. The control environment
2. Each organization’s risk assessment process
3. Each organization’s process to monitor the system of internal controls
4. Information systems and communications
5. Control activities
Based on the size of Highspire Borough and our experience with small- to medium-sized municipal
clients, a full test of controls has proved to be inefficient. Our approach will be to perform detailed
analytics over revenue and expenses. Based on these analytics, expectations, and understanding of
other municipalities, we will perform substantive tests over revenue and expenses to substantiate
our opinion. We will perform our tests over revenue and expenses at our interim and fieldwork
dates.
We will also perform monthly procedures over the Borough’s internal records with the goal to
ensure that the Board reports are complete and accurate. We will rely on management to reconcile
bank statements and classify receipts and disbursements in accordance with governmental
standards. We will assist management in updating their accounting system to print reports directly
from the accounting system instead of custom reports provided by H&M. Key areas that will be
checked by H&M prior to the Board meetings will be:
1. Allocation of Payroll to each fund
2. Reconciliation of due to / due from and transfers between funds
3. Reconciliation of utility billing system to the accounting system

reports will go through a final review process by the shareholder or secondary shareholder (if the
first shareholder is the In-Charge).

also use all Microsoft Office tools in our audit process. We conduct our audit through a

transferred from the client to Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs will be done through our
secure portal or by using encrypted flash drives. All workpapers are retained for a minimum
of seven years.

Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs’ audit quality. In our most recent examination (see copy
of report – Appendix 1), our firm received an opinion of “pass.” We are proud to have
received this report which is the highest quality report we could have been awarded.

Fees and Costs
Audit Fee Schedules:
Audit Year Borough (1) Joint O&M
December 31, 2025 $ 19,900 $ 6,250
December 31, 2026 $ 20,600 $ 6,500
December 31, 2027 $ 21,400 $ 6,800
(1) Includes audit and preparation of modified cash basis financial statements and DCED-CLGS-30 Report.
Our proposed fees assume a three-year commitment and allocate initial set-up costs across all three years.
The financial statements included in the quotes above are revised from prior issued statements to exclude prior-year
summarized information, to consolidate expenditures by function into six categories, and to provide consistent
modifications of financial statements between the Borough.
Monthly Consulting – $1,000 / Month estimated
a. It is our understanding that additional monthly consulting is needed to assist in the
reconciliation of certain accounting items each month in order for management to generate
internal financial statements. These services will be billed at standard hourly rates. Our goal
will be to train and teach Highspire Borough staff to efficiently perform this work going
forward. Any discrepencies noted related to this work will be reported to the Board at the end
of the audit.
If our estimates are not in line with comparable proposals or your expectations, we welcome
the opportunity to discuss our assumptions and methodologies with you.
Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 9 of 13
Fees and Costs – Continued
May 29, 2025
Additional Annual Costs:
The following costs will be added to Highspire Borough costs above unless Highspire Borough
removes these items and requirements.
1. Board Meeting Presentation – $600
a. Board meetings outside of normal business hours are billed at standard hourly rates.
Board meeting presentations during business hours are billed at 50% of standard
hourly rates. Virtual meetings are free of charge.
2. Single Audit – $2,500 - $7,500
a. The Borough’s proposal indicated that a Single audit may be needed. Based on our
brief evaluation, we do not believe a Single audit is needed. The cost of a Single
Audit is based on the over-amount of federal funding, underlying expenses, number
of funding sources, and records related to the Single Audit. The Borough should
keep us up-to-date with any federal funding it receives and spends throughout the
year.

b. Includes preparation of schedules and general format. The Borough will be
responsible for the language within the PAFR report.

management and will either be billed at our standard hourly rates or a new fee will be
negotiated.
