I also would like to work with this accounting firm on a regular basis, to provide support in general ledger upkeep, monthly financial reporting, and audit prep.  \nI reached out to a number of accounting firms recommended by local public libraries and received proposals from two—Maner Costerisan and Plante Moran. Proposals are attached to this memo.  \nAfter meeting with representatives from these two firms, I suggest hiring Plante Moran to tackle both the initial clean-up project and the library’s future accounting needs. A rough estimate of the costs puts both firms in alignment with the library’s budget. However, Plante Moran received very positive recommendations from local public libraries using them for similar services.  \nI have asked Brian Camiller, CPA to attend this meeting to answer any questions that the board might have regarding Plante Moran’s services.  \nRESOLVED BY TRUSTEE   , SECONDED BY TRUSTEE   ,TO APPROVE HIRING PLANTE MORAN TO TIDY UP THE LIBRARY’S FINANCIAL RECORDS AND WORK WITH THE LIBRARY ON A REGULAR BASIS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT IN  \nGENERAL LEDGER UPKEEP, MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTING, AND AUDIT PREP  \nROLL CALL:  \nAYES:  \nNAYS:  \nABSTAIN:  \nAugust 24, 2022  \nPlymouth District Library Plymouth, Michigan  \nManer Costerisan is pleased that Plymouth District Library (the Library) has expressed interest in our firm and our governmental accounting expertise.

While this listing includes the full range of services available from Maner Costerisan, the specific services anticipated tobe provided atthe current time are separated below from those other services that are available upon request.  \nWe understand that our duties will potentially help ensure the completion of the following items:  \n􀂾 Perform a preliminary general “field review” of the Library’s procedures by obtaining a general understanding of the Library’s programs and financial procedures and then a detailed understanding of the same by reviewing documentation and discussions with management.  \n􀂾 Develop and implement policies and procedures standardizing accounting functions throughout the Library.  \n􀂾 Develop timelines and tasks lists on duties to be conducted and when they need to be completed.  \n􀂾 Assist with various accounting functions as needed, including audit preparation services.  \n􀂾 Assist with bank reconciliations, analysis of the general ledger to reconcile material accounts, etc. as requested.  \n􀂾 Meet with Library management to discuss any accounting issues, findings that arise, and recommend corrective actions.  \n􀂾 Provide financial consulting services upon request.  \nAdditional management advisory services may be requested throughout this engagement:  \n􀂾 Cash flow monitoring.  \n􀂾 Review capital asset record maintenance, including the calculation of depreciation.  \n􀂾 Analyze current systems in place related to all accounting functions and develop a detailed accounting manual to be utilized to effectively and efficiently process accounting transactions.  \n􀂾 Train administrative staff on essential functions necessary for day-to-day operations while implementing and maintaining critical internal controls.
