Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 5 of 13 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 Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 6 of 13 Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For Highspire Borough Work Plan and Timetable Time Schedule(1): December / January Interim Work (1-2 days) January / February Fieldwork (2-3 days) March Draft of financial DCED Reports Three Days after Approval of Draft Finals of DCED Reports April / May Draft and Finals of Financial Statements (1) Schedule assumes that the component auditor for the Authority will have their audit completed by the required deadlines. Supervisory Review: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs has an extensive review process for all of our audits. Each audit undergoes a thorough technical review process performed by our Technical Review Manager. Our financial statements and DCED reports also go through three levels of review by experienced quality control personnel. After all of these reviews, the audit, financial statements, and DCED reports will go through a final review process by the shareholder or secondary shareholder (if the first shareholder is the In-Charge). Additional Information: • Computer/Technology Capabilities and Workpaper Retention: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs utilizes AdvanceFlow to conduct a paperless audit. We also use all Microsoft Office tools in our audit process. We conduct our audit through a secure VPN to our office, using either the client’s internet or our own hotspot. All data 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 Page 7 of 13 Work Plan and Timetable – Continued May 29, 2025 • Peer Review: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs participates in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Peer Review Program. Every three years our firm receives a peer review from a qualified certified public accounting firm. This is an independent examination of 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. • Licensing: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs and all of our CPAs are licensed to practice in Pennsylvania. Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs as a firm has not, nor have any of our individual staff members, received a complaint from the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy nor the AICPA / PICPA. • Independence: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs meets all independence requirements of the Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions as publicized by the U.S. General Accounting Office of the Comptroller General with respect to Highspire Borough. • Current and Past Client Engagements: Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs has had no contract terminations for default or other incidents in the past five years. • Insurance: See Appendix 3 for professional liability insurance requirements. Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 8 of 13 Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For Highspire Borough 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. 3. PAFR Preparation – $1,000 b. Includes preparation of schedules and general format. The Borough will be responsible for the language within the PAFR report. 4. ACFR Preparation – $5,000 c. Includes preparation of schedules based on historical information provided by the Borough. The Borough will be responsible for the transmittal letter. The following services have not been included within the scope of this audit proposal. IF these services are required, or requested by you, they will be discussed immediately with management and will either be billed at our standard hourly rates or a new fee will be negotiated. • A Single Audit of the Organization’s financial assistance under Uniform Guidance • Implementation of new accounting standards • Separate audits of federal, state or local grants or loans • Preparation of IRS Form 1099s, annual and quarterly payroll tax returns • Assistance in reconciling the trial balance or general ledger account, if out of balance • Technical questions outside the scope of the audit • Preparation of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis • Preparation of the ACFR or PAFR Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 10 of 13 Fees and Costs – Continued May 29, 2025 Hourly Rates by Level as of January 1, 2025: • Shareholder: $325 per hour • Manager: $225 per hour • Supervisor: $220 per hour • Staff: $160 per hour Additional Requirements: To remain efficient year over year, we will require the following documents to be provided electronically starting with the December 31, 2025 audit. • Bank statements and reconciliations • Payroll reports and timesheets • Utility billing reports • Expense invoices over $5,000 Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 11 of 13 Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For Highspire Borough Professional Services Reference List Audit Clients: West Hanover Township and Authority (Dauphin County) Tim Houck, Finance Director Phone: (717) 652-4841 West Pennsboro Township and Authority (Cumberland County) Evelyn Swartz, Secretary Phone: (717) 243-8220, ext. 101 Millerstown Borough and Authority (Perry County) Karen Knellinger, Secretary/Treasurer Phone: (717) 589-3738 Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 12 of 13 Professional Services Reference List – Continued May 29, 2025 Municipalities: Cumberland County York County Dickinson Township Carroll Township Dickinson Township Municipal Authority Conewago Township and Authority Mechanicsburg Borough Dover Borough Mechanicsburg Borough Authority East Manchester Township Middlesex Township Municipal Authority Franklintown Borough Mount Holly Springs Borough Franklintown Borough Municipal Authority Mount Holly Springs Borough Authority Glen Rock Borough New Cumberland Borough Hellam Township Newville Borough and Authority Jackson Township North Middleton Township Jackson Township Sewer Authority Penn Township Jacobus Borough West Pennsboro Township Mount Wolf Borough West Pennsboro Municipal Authority North Codorus Township Red Lion Borough Red Lion Municipal Authority Dauphin County Windsor Borough Authority Dauphin Borough Wrightsville Borough Elizabethville Borough Wrightsville Borough Municipal Authority Londonderry Township Yoe Borough West Hanover Township West Hanover General Authority West Hanover Township Authority Adams County Williamstown Borough Latimore Township Williamstown Borough Municipal Authority Tyrone Township Perry County Lancaster County Millerstown Borough Drumore Township Millerstown Municipal Authority Chester County Elverson Borough Elverson Borough Municipal Authority Hamilton & Musser, P.C., CPAs Page 13 of 13 Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For Highspire Borough Appendix 1 Peer Review Report Proposal for Independent Auditing Services For Highspire Borough Appendix 2 Résumés NICHOLAS L.
