REQUIRED AUDIT TIME SCHEDULE

Cobb County’s fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30. For each fiscal year, the audit is to be scheduled so that the ACFR is available by February 28th of the following year if not sooner. The County records will be available for testing at any time. All Funds will be closed and ready for audit by the end of the third week of November of each year or earlier as established at pre-audit conference, with a preliminary trial balance available at that time. Firms should be aware that, under current revenue recognition standards, the County accrues property taxes received through November 30. Thus, the actual revenue amounts are not known and cannot be fully audited until December. Estimates of property tax revenues are accrued on the trial balances available in November. Following the signing of the audit contract, a pre-audit conference will be held by the selected firm and the County financial staff. At this time, a detailed schedule for the FY 2025 audit will be developed. A similar conference will be held each year of the contract. The County reserves the right to specify the order in which Funds are to be audited each year. Proposed bond issues or other events may require that a particular Fund be given priority. The Single Audit Report should be available by March 28th of the following year. In March of the following year, the financial assurance for closure and post-closure cost for the County’s Solid Waste Handling facilities must be completed and submitted to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division. In May of each year, the audit firm must provide the County with an estimated breakdown by fund of audit costs for the following fiscal year, for budgetary purposes. Audit costs can be billed up to 75% of the contracted amount prior to completion of the ACFR. The remaining 25% will be paid after the ACFR is completed. Audit working papers are to be retained for at least five years and are to be made available for examination by authorized representatives of Cobb County and other governmental agencies. Working papers are also to be available for review by successor auditors, and the audit firm shall respond to reasonable inquiries from a successor firm.
