2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners January 23, 2001
In communication no. 1-23-16, Michelle R. McInerney, Financial
Services Director asks the Board to request a filing extension
for the 2000 audit due to the size and complexity of the County.
Your Executive Committee considered the request due to time
frames.
Section 7 (4) of the Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act (Act 2,
PA of 1968, as amended) requires one copy of the annual financial
audit report and one copy of the auditing procedures shall be
filed with the State Treasurer within 120 days after the end of
the fiscal year. The governing body may request a 60-day
extension if evidence is presented to the State Treasurer that
the audit is in progress and will be completed within that
period.
In the past, the County Treasurer in conjunction with the
County's financial auditors Rehmann Robson, PC have filed for
this extension on behalf of the County. However, beginning with
fiscal year audits ending in 2000, the State Treasurer requires
that extensions come from the governing body of the municipality,
filed within 120 days from the end of the fiscal year or January
31, 2001 for Saginaw County.
We recommend the Chairman of the Board be authorized to request
the State Treasurer for a 60-day extension of the filing date for
the 2000 financial audit.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
James M. Graham, Chair
Connie D. Smith, Vice Chair
By Commissioner Smith: That the Report of the Committee be
received and the recommendations contained therein be adopted.
