Annual Audit Reports, Fixed Asset Ledger (20230530-1.txt)

The request was successful.

Please accept this as my request for government records under both OPRA and the common law right of access. Thank you very much for your commitment to transparent government.

RECORDS REQUESTED:

1. The three most recent annual audits of Quinton Township (as required by N.J.S.A. 40A:5-4). However, I only want the sections entitled: General Comments, Recommendations, Auditor's Opinions, and Single Audit Findings.

2. The "group affidavit form," as mandated by N.J.A.C. 5:30-6.5, which needs to be signed by each Township Committee member. This form certifies that they have personally reviewed the prescribed sections of the annual audit. I want only the "group affidavit form" that relates to the most recent annual audit.

3. The Township Committee's most recent resolution that "certif[ied] to the Local Finance Board that all members of the governing body have personally reviewed" the sections of the annual audit prescribed by N.J.A.C. 5:30-6.5. I want only the resolution that relates to the most recent annual audit.

4. The affidavit or certification of publication of the "synopsis of all audits, together with the [auditor's recommendations" for the most recent publication made in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:5-7.

5. Quinton Township's a listing of its fixed asset inventory along with corresponding values and other information about each asset, as required by N.J.A.C. 5:30-5.6.

6. N.J.A.C. 5:30-5.6(a)(4)(iii) calls for Quinton Township, as part of its fixed assets accounting and reporting system, to conduct "p]eriodic physical inventories" to be "reconciled with property records, with any differences being investigated to reflect the cause of difference." This requirement is a component of the Township's "control system [that must contain] adequate safeguards against loss, damage, or theft of property." I would like a) the most recent resolution, directive or other writing that ordered for such a physical inventory to occur and b) the writing that sets forth the outcome of the reconciliation of the results of that physical inventory against the existing property records.
