Dear Ms. Handy -

As we discussed at the MMA Annual Meeting, the Town of Templeton is making good progress towards putting our financial records in order so that they can be audited.  The Abrahams Group has been working with our Town Accountant since November to reconstruct the general ledger for Fiscal 2013, 2014, and 2015.  Our Auditor, Matthew Hunt of Clifton-Larson-Allen will be at Town Hall on January 27 to begin the audit for Fiscal 2013.  We expect to have good data available to permit the audits for '14 and '15 when '13 is completed.  

Our Accountant and the Abrahams Group would like to hold off on submission of Schedule A for FY'15 until they are confident that our financial statements are in good order.  We are requesting permission to delay Schedule A for up to two months so that we can be assured that what we submit is completely accurate.  

Mark Abrahams, Matt Hunt and our Town Accountant are meeting here on Wednesday morning, Jan. 27.  I will be out of Town but they are setting up a conference call for me.   Would you like to participate or just listen in for the update and timetable for completing the work?  

Bob
