THE CITY OF NASHUA —
Financial Services Division
Office of the Chief Financial Officer
TO: Mayor James Donchess
FROM: John L. Griffin and Rosemarie Evans
DATE: June 23, 2022
RE: Recommendation to Extend Melanson Contract
The purpose of this communication is to recommend extending the existing
contract with Melanson for services to audit the City’s general-purpose financial
statements, Federal Single Audit and schedules for the fiscal years FY2022 and
FY2023. The contract amount is $132,500 for each of the FY2022 and FY2023
audits.
During the past several years, this firm has provided audit services for the City’s Lawson
and MUNIS Financial Systems including General Ledger, Payroll, Accounts Receivable,
Accounts Payable, Procurement, Cash Receipts and Fixed Assets.
In summary, given the institutional knowledge of the City’s financial systems and
internal controls, it is important to maintain the services from the incumbent external
auditor — Melanson for continuity purposes.
