AATA Accepts FY 2011 Audit

At its March 15, 2012 meeting, the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority board voted to accept the audit for fiscal year 2011, which ended Sept. 30, 2011. It was an unqualified or “clean” opinion. The AATA board has typically accepted the audit in March for the past fiscal year, ending the previous fall. The AATA’s auditor is Plante Moran PLLC, which the AATA board approved for a one-year contract its Sept. 15, 2011 meeting.

A policy adopted by the AATA board on June 16, 2011 limits contracting with any one auditing firm to a total of eight years. That meant that the auditing firm the AATA had previously used, Rehmann Robson, was not eligible to provide auditing services when the AATA awarded the contract last year.

This brief was filed from the downtown location Ann Arbor District Library at 343 S. Fifth Ave., where the AATA board holds its meetings. A more detailed report will follow: [link]
