RE: Financial Audit for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026
Thank you for allowing CBEW Professional Group, LLP to perform auditing services for your City.
This letter sets forth our understanding of the arrangements to conduct an audit of your financial
statements and outlines the nature and scope of the services we will provide to you.
Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information, which collectively comprise the basic
financial statements of the City of Kingfisher (City) as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States provide for certain required
supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to
supplement the City’s basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it
to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited
procedures to the City’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by generally
accepted accounting principles and will be subject to certain limited procedures, but will not be
audited:
1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
2. Budgetary Comparison Schedules.
3. Pension Schedules.

Audit Scope and Objectives (Continued)
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies
the City’s financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole:
1. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, if applicable.
2. Combining Fund Financial Statements.
The funds and Public Trusts encompassed in the audit scope of services will include all of those
activities defined as a part of the City in accordance with the guidelines of the National Council on
Government Accounting (NCGA) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Therefore, in addition to the City, the audit will present the financial activities of the Kingfisher Public
Works Authority, Kingfisher Recreation Authority, Kingfisher Special Projects Authority and
Kingfisher Hospital Authority as blended component units. Separate audit reports will not be issued
for these Authorities.
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinions about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all
material respects, in conformity with GAAP, and report on the fairness of the supplementary
information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements
as a whole. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and
therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements,
including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable
user made based on the financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on:
• Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on
the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
• Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of
opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of
federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in
accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements and Single Audit
We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; the standards for financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single
Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests
of accounting records, a determination of major program(s) in accordance with Uniform Guidance,
and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit
in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3)
misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable
to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government.
Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not
expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they
expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal
control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an
unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected by us, even
though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or
violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of
management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets
that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations
of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We
will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is
limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are
not engaged as auditors.
We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in
the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and
certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors,
and financial institutions. We will also request written representations from your attorneys as part of
the engagement.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements and Single Audit
(Continued)
We have identified the following significant risk(s) of material misstatement as part of our audit
planning: management override of controls and improper revenue recognition due to fraud.
Our audit of financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.
Audit Procedures—Internal Control
We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including internal control
relevant to the audit, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the
override of internal control. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain
controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the
financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and
other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our
tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal
control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant
to Government Auditing Standards.
As required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate
the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or
detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal
award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion
on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control
issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit,
we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related
matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government
Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance.
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we will perform tests of the City’s compliance with provisions of applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those
procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an
opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.

Other Services
We will also assist in preparing the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards,
and related notes of the City in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and the Uniform Guidance based on information provided by you. These nonaudit
services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not
be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform the services in
accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the financial
statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes services previously defined.
We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take
any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities.
You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statements, schedule of
expenditures of federal awards, and related notes, and any other nonaudit services we provide. You
will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with
preparation of the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related
notes and that you have reviewed and approved the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures
of federal awards, and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them.
Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from
senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results
of those services; and accept responsibility for them.
Upon completion of the audit we will file the Annual Survey of City and Town Finances (form SA&I
2643), described in Section 17-105.1 of the Oklahoma Statutes as prepared by your consultant. We
will submit a copy of the audit to the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector (with the required $100
fee). Further, we will available to answer questions throughout the year. This regulatory filing is a
nonaudit service and does not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards. We will
perform these services in accordance with applicable professional standards.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit
Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for
(1) designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards, and for evaluating and
monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; (2)
following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable assurance that government
programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and (4) ensuring that
management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also
responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and
application of accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and all accompanying information in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for
compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal statutes), rules, and the provisions
of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements).

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit (Continued)
Your responsibilities also include identifying significant contractor relationships in which the
contractor has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that
information.
You are also responsible for making drafts of financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal
awards, all financial records, and related information available to us and for the accuracy and
completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary
ledgers). We understand that your consultants, Crawford & Associates, P.C., will draft the financial
statements, related notes, and supplemental information, including the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards, if applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance, and assist
in drafting the MD&A. Even though your consulting CPA firm prepares your financial statements
and related notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America, the responsibility for the financial statements and related information remains with you.
You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware
that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records,
documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions,
and other matters; (2) access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and
other information as needed to perform an audit under the Uniform Guidance; (3) additional
information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (4) unrestricted access to persons
within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the
conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial
statements; schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with
laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and related matters.
Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and
confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected
misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period
presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each
opinion unit taken as a whole.
You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect
fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving
(1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where
the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include
informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the
government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or
others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies
with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. You are also responsible for
taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements that we report.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit (Continued)
Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance, it is management’s responsibility to evaluate and
monitor noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal
awards; take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified including noncompliance
identified in audit findings; promptly follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings;
and prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a separate corrective action plan.
You are responsible for identifying all federal awards received and understanding and complying with
the compliance requirements and for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards
(including notes and noncash assistance received, such as lost revenues, if applicable) in conformity
with the Uniform Guidance. You agree to include our report on the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards.
You also agree to [include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards that includes our report thereon OR make the audited financial
statements readily available to intended users of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards no
later than the date the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is issued with our report thereon].
Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are
responsible for presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance; (2) you believe the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including its form
and content, is stated fairly in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (3) the methods of
measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have
changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions
or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards.
You are also responsible for the preparation of the other supplementary information, which we have
been engaged to report on, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and
indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to [include the
audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our
report thereon OR make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the
supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our
report thereon]. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter
that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with
GAAP; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly
presented in accordance with GAAP; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not
changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes);
and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit (Continued)
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit
findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report
copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies
related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Scope and Objectives section of this letter. This
responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and
recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or
studies. You are also responsible for providing management’s views on our current findings,
conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions for the report, and for
the timing and format for providing that information.
Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other
We will schedule the engagement based in part on deadlines, working conditions, and the availability
of your key personnel. We understand that your consultant will prepare all cash, accounts receivable,
or other confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. We will
plan the engagement based on the assumption that your personnel will cooperate and provide
assistance by performing tasks such as preparing requested schedules and retrieving supporting
documents. If, for whatever reason, your personnel are unavailable to provide the necessary
assistance in a timely manner, it may substantially increase the work we have to do to complete the
engagement within the established deadlines, resulting in an increase in fees over our original fee
estimate.
At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of the Data Collection
Form that summarizes our audit findings. It is management’s responsibility to electronically submit
the reporting package (including financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards,
summary schedule of prior audit findings, auditor’s reports, and corrective action plan) along with
the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. We will coordinate with you the
electronic submission and certification. The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must
be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months
after the end of the audit period.
We will provide copies of our reports to the City; however, management is responsible for distribution
of the reports and the financial statements. Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing
privileged and confidential information, copies of our reports are to be made available for public
inspection.

Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other (Continued)
The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of CBEW Professional Group, LLP and
constitutes confidential information. However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit
documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available upon request and in a timely
manner to Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector (with the required $100 fee), a federal agency
providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for purposes of a
quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We
will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided
under the supervision of CBEW Professional Group, LLP personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we
may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may
intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other
governmental agencies.
The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the
report release date or for any additional period requested by the Oklahoma State Auditor and
Inspector. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting
an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to
destroying the audit documentation.
We will perform these services as expeditiously as possible in order to meet the time requirements of
the engagement. Chuck Crooks is the engagement partner and is responsible for supervising the
engagement and signing the reports or authorizing another individual to sign them. We expect to
begin our fieldwork as soon as practical following Crawford & Associates completion of their work.
It is understood that Crawford & Associates, P.C. will prepare necessary end of year adjusting entries,
convert the accounting records from a modified cash basis to GAAP, as applicable, prepare working
trial balances, and provide back-up documentation to us as auditors. Additionally, your consultants
and your accounting personnel would be available to answer questions and to provide assistance in
locating records and any documents selected by us for testing, and to prepare schedules and analyses
as may be necessary. A list of such schedules will be furnished to you shortly before or after we
begin the engagement.
Every effort will be taken to keep that fee to a minimum consistent with the requirements of the
engagement. Our fee for these services will be at our standard hourly rates plus out-of-pocket costs
(such as report reproduction, word processing, postage, travel, copies, telephone, etc.) except that we
agree that our gross fee, including expenses, will be addressed in Exhibit 1. Our standard hourly rates
vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel
assigned to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered at the conclusion of the audit.
The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that
unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the engagement.
If significant additional time is necessary, we will keep you informed of any problems we encounter
and our fees will be adjusted accordingly. This engagement does not include any services not
specifically stated in this letter. You may request that we perform additional services not
contemplated by this engagement letter. If this occurs, we will communicate with you the scope of
the additional services and the estimated fees.

Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other (Continued)
We also may issue a separate engagement letter covering the additional services. In the absence of
any other written communication from us documenting such additional services, our services will
continue to be governed by the terms of this engagement letter. Additional services of a significant
nature, which you may request, will be billed separately.
Reporting
We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit. Our reports will be addressed to
the Honorable Board of City Commissioners of the City of Kingfisher. Circumstances may arise in
which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit.
Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions,
add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report,
or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will
discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or
are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports,
or we may withdraw from this engagement.
The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on
compliance and other matters will state that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe the
scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. The Uniform Guidance report on internal
control over compliance will state that the purpose of the report on internal control over compliance
is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that
testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Both reports will state that the report is
not suitable for any other purpose.
Our Privacy Policy—Your Privacy is Important to Us

Group, LLP and constitutes confidential information. However, pursuant to authority given by law
or regulation, we may be requested to make certain documentation available to a Federal or State
agency providing direct or indirect funding or its designee or to the U.S. Government Accountability
Office for purpose of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight
responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such documentation

photocopies of selected documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or

governmental agencies.
The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the
report release date or for any additional period requested by a Cognizant Agency, Oversight Agency
for Audit, or Pass-through Entity. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency or auditee is
contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance
prior to destroying any audit documentation.
In the event we are requested or authorized by you or are required by government regulation,
subpoena, or other legal process to produce our documents or our personnel as witnesses with respect
to our engagement, you will, so long as we are not part to the proceeding in which the information is
sought, reimburse us for our professional time and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of our
counsel, incurred in responding to such requests.
Other
Our firm, as well as other accounting firms, participates in the AICPA’s peer review program covering
our audit and accounting practice. This is also a requirement of Government Auditing Standards.
Under this program, our system of quality control is subjected to a peer review by a team of certified
public accountants approved by the state administering entity. As part of this peer review, the team
will review a sample of our work. It is possible that the work performed for you may be selected for
their review. If it is, the peer review team is bound by professional standards to keep all information
confidential.
Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book) require that we provide you with a copy of our most
recent external peer review report. Our 2025 peer review report accompanies this letter.
We are confident that CBEW Professional Group, LLP can continue to meet your current and ongoing
needs. If you have any questions, please contact us at 918-225-4216. We appreciate the opportunity

AUDIT FEES
Our estimate of fees as calculated below represents the maximum amount of fees to be charged
annually based on the scope of services set forth in the engagement letter, which is made a part of the
audit fee consideration and this cost information.
Our fees are based on hourly rates by personnel as follows:
Partners (CPA’s) $225.00 per hour
Staff Accountants (CPA’s and Degreed Accountants) $ 100.00 to 175.00 per hour
Clerical Staff (Non-Degreed) $ 65.00 to 85.00 per hour
We will provide management support throughout the year on financial matters and other consulting
services as needed at the above rates. Because of the expertise needed to assist management on
financial matters during the year it is anticipated that partner level assistance would normally be
necessary, however, additional services, when requested, would be performed by the competent
individuals with a rate most beneficial to the City in the circumstances.
1. Conduct annual audits of the financial statements of the City of Kingfisher and its component
units in conformity with AICPA Standards, Governmental Auditing Standards, and continuing
requirements of GASB standards. The fee also includes preparation of the Management letter
and SA&I Form 2643.

2. Travel and out-of-pocket expenses. 300.00
3. SA&I Filing Fee. 100.00
Total Maximum Fees including expenses if a Single Audit is not required $ 17,100.00
This proposal continues our original five-year engagement commitment dated August 26, 2011
subject to your annual approval based on the scope of services currently requested reflecting annual
increases of $500.00. The above fee has increased by $500 from the amount shown in our 2025
engagement letter.
If a Single Audit is required our fees will increase for the additional requirements of the Uniform
Guidance.
20 hours estimated @ $125.00 average rate $ 2,500.00

practice over the past 40 years. The reviews concluded that our firm complies with the stringent
quality control standards set by the AICPA. Our last seven peer reviews resulted in no letter of
