We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our
findings and conclusions based on our audit objective.

Unless otherwise indicated in this report, samples for testing were selected
based on professional judgment, as it was not the intent to project the results
onto the entire population. Where applicable, information is presented concerning
the value and/or size of the relevant population and the sample selected for
examination.

The Council has the responsibility to initiate corrective action. A written corrective
action plan (CAP) that addresses the findings and recommendations in this report
should be prepared and provided to our office within 90 days, pursuant to Section
35 of General Municipal Law. For more information on preparing and filing your
CAP, please refer to our brochure, Responding to an OSC Audit Report, which
you received with the draft audit report. We encourage the Council to make the
CAP available for public review in the Clerk’s office.
