Arledge & Associates Engagement Letter
FY-2025 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT LETTER
June 8, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for City of Sand Springs, Oklahoma (the
“City”) for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, and the disclosures, which
collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024. Accounting
standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) 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 (GAAS). 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
appropriate evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by GAAP and will be
subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2) Budgetary Comparison Schedules – General Fund
3) Pension Plan Funding Schedules; and
4) OPEB Plan Schedules
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 GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to
the financial statements as a whole in a separate written report accompanying our auditor’s report on the financial statements:
1) Combining Schedules
2) Budgetary Comparison Schedule – Major and Nonmajor Governmental Funds
3) Schedule of Debt Coverage; and
4) Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, we will read the following other information and consider
whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other
information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected
material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
www.arledge.cpa
1) Introduction and Statistical Section
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, 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.
In connection with this engagement, we may communicate with you or others via email transmission. As emails can be
intercepted and read, disclosed, or otherwise used or communicated by an unintended third party, or may not be delivered
to each of the parties to whom they are directed and only to such parties, we cannot guarantee or warrant that emails from
us will be properly delivered and read only by the addressee. Therefore, we specifically disclaim and waive any liability or
responsibility whatsoever for interception or unintentional disclosure of emails transmitted by us in connection with the
performance of this engagement. In that regard, you agree that we shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any
person or entity resulting from the use of email transmissions, including any consequential, incidental, direct, indirect, or
special damages, such as loss of revenues or anticipated profits, or disclosure or communication of confidential or
proprietary information.
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 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.
We have identified the following significant risk(s) of material misstatement as part of our audit planning:
According to GAAS, significant risks include management override of controls, and GAAS presumes that revenue
recognition is a significant risk. Accordingly, we have considered these as significant risks..
We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account.
We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to maintaining the
confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to
protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all
service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine
that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others.
In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent
prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain
responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers.
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 the system of internal control, 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 opinions. 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. 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.
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 and 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 our 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.
The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
auditee has complied with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards applicable to major
programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB
Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of
the City’s major programs. For federal programs that are included in the Compliance Supplement, our compliance and
internal control procedures will relate to the compliance requirements that the Compliance Supplement identifies as being
subject to audit. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with requirements
applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
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). 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; for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including
information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers); and for the evaluation of whether there are any conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going
concern for the 12 months after the financial statements date or shortly thereafter (for example, within an additional three
months if currently known). 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. 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. The
summary schedule of prior audit findings should be available for our review on June 30, 2025.
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, and COVID-19-related concepts, 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 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. 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 measurement or presentation of the supplementary information.
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 understand that your employees will prepare all cash, accounts receivable, or other confirmations we request and will
locate any documents selected by us for testing.
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 Mayor and City Council of 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.
The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Arledge & Associates, P.C. 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 oversight agent or its designee, a federal agency providing direct or
indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for the 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 Arledge & Associates, P.C. 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 State Auditor and Inspector. 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 the audit documentation.
Jake Winkler, CPA is the engagement partner and is responsible for supervising the engagement and signing the reports or
authorizing another individual to sign them.
Our fee for these services will be $46,500. Our fee for the Sand Springs Cultural and Historical Museum Trust Authority
will be $2,500, which does not include a separate report. Additionally, if a Single Audit is required under Uniform Guidance,
an additional fee of $7,000 will be charged for the first major program and $5,000 for each additional program. This fixed
price includes an electronic pdf copy of the report for distribution to your board members and others and 1 bound copy.
Additional bound copies are available for $.50 per page. This fee includes our miscellaneous charges, such as travel and
meals. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In
accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 30 days or more overdue and may not
be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be
deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed our report(s). You
will be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the date of
termination. The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. The fee is also based on the assistance of Crawford & Associates,
P.C. in preparing the City’s financial statements. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and
arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs.
Because our Engagement Letter provides ongoing access to the accounting and business advice you need on a fixed-price
basis, you are not inhibited from seeking timely advice from us. While the fixed price entitles you to unlimited consultation
with us, if your questions or issues require additional research and analysis beyond consultation, that work will be subject
to an additional price negotiation before the service is to be performed, an Addendum to the Engagement Letter will be
issued before delivery of the additional service is to be performed, with payment terms agreed to in advance. By virtue of
signing this document, you have indicated that your reporting entity has been appropriately defined, all trial balances will
be reasonably adjusted, your key accounts will be reconciled, unusual transactions, significant financial estimates and
disclosures have been communicated to us prior to the date at the top of this letter. Also, you have indicated that the entity
has competent personnel in key financial positions and there has been no turnover in the accounting/finance department. If
we find that the facts are different for any of the preceding assumptions, we will negotiate an Addendum to the Engagement
Letter and negotiate a new engagement fee before we issue our final report.
You may request that we perform additional services not addressed in this engagement letter. If this occurs, we will
communicate with you regarding the scope of the additional services and the estimated fees, which will be charged at
standard hourly rates. 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.
Reporting
We will issue written reports upon completion of our audit of the City’s financial statements and Single Audit. Our reports
will be addressed to the Mayor and City Council of the City. 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.
If circumstances occur related to the condition of your records, the availability of sufficient, appropriate audit evidence, or
the existence of a significant risk of material misstatement of the financial statements caused by error, fraudulent financial
reporting, or misappropriation of assets, which in our professional judgment prevent us from completing the audit or forming
an opinion on the financial statements, we retain the right to take any course of action permitted by professional standards,
including declining to express an opinion or issue reports, or withdrawing from the 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 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.
Cost of Consequential Damages
Any liability of Arledge & Associates, P.C. and its personnel to the City is limited to the amount of the annual fee the City
paid for this audit engagement as liquidated damages.
The City agrees that any dispute regarding this engagement will, prior to resorting to litigation, be submitted to mediation
upon request by either party. Both parties agree to try in good faith to settle the dispute in mediation. The American
Arbitration Association will administer any such mediation in accordance with its Commercial Mediation Rules. The results
of the mediation proceeding shall be binding only if both Arledge & Associates, P.C. and the City agree to be bound.
Arledge & Associates, P.C. and the City will share any cost of mediation equally.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms
of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described
in this letter, please sign the attached copy and return it to us.
Sincerely,
Arledge & Associates, P.C.
