Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Shakopee
Shakopee, Minnesota
The following sets forth the engagement of our services for the certified audit of the accounts of the City ofShakopee,
Minnesota (the City).
We will audit the financial statements of the City for the years ending December 31, 2025and 2026in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit will include tests of the accounting
records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express an opinion that the financial statements are
fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with the financial reporting provisions of the Minnesota Office of
the State Auditor.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgmentabout the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to
be tested. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused byerror or fraud. Because of the concept of
reasonable assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that a
material misstatement may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect errors, fraud, or
other illegal acts that are immaterial to the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and
any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any other illegal acts that come to our attention, unless
clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to
matters that might arise during any later periods of which we are not engaged as auditors.
We will perform the auditing services discussed above for the calendar years2025 and 2026.
YearCity Audit
2025$45,500
202647,500
The above fees are based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with
you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs.
Our fee does not include additional audit services related to requirements of a single audit if one would be
required. Nor does it include fees for additional time require for implementation of additional governmental
accounting standards. Those fees would be discussed and agreed to prior to performing the services.
Our fee includes the city audit, the required managementcommunication letter,the AuditorsReport on Minnesota
Legal Compliance,theauditor presentation to the Council, and general consulting related to the audit.
