Action Memorandum 2022-007
Meeting Date: September 12, 2022
To: City Council
From: Janette Bower, City Manager
Agenda Item: Action Memorandum 2022-007: Authorize the City Manager to Separate the
Single Audit Portion of the FY2022 ACFR from the Financial Statement
Portion of the ACFR and Issue Two Separate Reports
Background and justification:
In prior years, the City's Annual Comprehensive Annual Report (ACFR) included the Compliance
Reports associated with the federal and state single audits.
For the 2021 audit, a portion of the federal single audit is being performed by KPMG, who serve as
the auditor for Providence Seward Medical Center (PSMC). KPMG is auditing the Provider Relief
Funds that were received by the City of Seward, but passed through to PSMC. Since KPMG audits
PSMC, it was determined they should also complete the federal single audit related to the Provider
Relief Funds.
Altman, Rogers and Co., the City's auditors, have been in communication with KPMG related to the
timing of KPMG's audit report related to their single audit and KPMG believes they will not be able to
issue their report on compliance until late in September 2022. Due to this delay, management would
like to separate the Single Audit Portion of the FY2022 ACFR from the Financial Statement portion of
the ACFR and issue two separate reports. The financial statement portion can be issued while the
City awaits the issuance of KPMG's single audit report.
While this would be the first time the City of Seward has issued two separate reports, it is not
unheard of with many other municipalities in the State doing the same thing. Therefore, it is
proposed that the City Council allow management to split the FY2022 ACFR into 2 separate reports:
a financial section and a single audit section.
Requested motion: Authorize the City Manager to Separate the Single Audit Portion of the FY2022
ACFR from the Financial Statement Portion of the ACFR and Issue Two Separate Reports
