Believe it or not!
Our City has had the same audit firm for 24 years.
Gary Huggett of Masters, Smith & Wisby
The City of St. Augustine has had the same auditing firm for 24 years.
A quarter of a century.
The standard of care is to change auditors every three or four years.
24 years, a quarter of a century with the same Jacksonville C.P.A. firm.
Wonder why?
The City of St. Augustine won't say why.
The sequelae of years of corruption and mismanagement?
What do you reckon?
Will St. Augustine City Commission kindly start an Audit Committee and hire a new auditor?
24 years with the same audit firm is ENOUGH.

Good afternoon:
1. Will you please respond to my April 12, 2017 Request No. 2017-181 (below) for "any list of reasons, explanation, empirical justification, memo, benchmarking, GASB standard of other document justifying the City of St. Augustine having the same audit firm for 24 years?"
2. As City of St. Augustine Beach Commissioner Sherman Gary Snodgrass can explain, the standard of care is only 3-4 years before changing auditors. Auditors must be changed frequently -- as President Reagan said about elected officials and diapers, they "should be changed often and for the same reasons."

3. I agree with Vice Mayor Neville and the other Commissioners about the urgent need for an Audit Committee.
4. Will you please provide documentary evidence of any staff work on creation of an audit committee?
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
