4 <br /> MAULDIN <br /> Orange County <br /> Quote to Provide Auditing Services <br /> ❖ Staff Continuity. Our staff retention rates are considered to be among the best in the profession (and <br /> much better than national and other regional firms). This fact, coupled with our vast array of <br /> government clients, results in a staff pool highly experienced with governmental entities with the <br /> definite capacity to serve the County. We are able to not only provide consistency with the partner and <br /> manager on our engagement teams, but seniors as well. We also have enough resources at the <br /> partner, manager, and senior levels to provide for periodic rotations as requested by our clients. <br /> ❖ Education. Mauldin & Jenkins' clients have the opportunity to register and receive approximately <br /> thirty (30) hours of continuing education on an annual basis,free of charge. We take our experience <br /> in serving governments, and choose timely and relevant topics to provide ongoing education to our <br /> clients. Sessions are limited to clients only. This amounts to a cost savings of approximately$3,000 per <br /> individual per year. <br /> ❖ Responsiveness. We pride ourselves in responding to the needs of our clients and meeting their <br /> deadlines. This responsiveness is not only the ability to meet specified audit deadlines, but also the <br /> ability to respond to other requests. Our ability to be responsive is enhanced by the open <br /> communications and good working relationship we have with our clients. Our resources provide for <br /> the flexibility to meet your needs and to perform our services in an efficient and effective manner. <br /> ❖ Organized to Specifically Meet Your Needs. Our partners, managers, and seniors in the Firm's <br /> Governmental Practice Division spend 100% of their time serving governments. By structuring the <br /> Firm's Governmental Practice Division in such a manner, we are able to create efficiencies in the audit <br /> process which typically result in our total hours being significantly less than most other firms. <br /> ❖ Nationally Recognized. Mauldin & Jenkins is consistently ranked in the Top 100 by Accounting Today <br /> as well as Inside Public Accounting trade associations and magazines as one (1) of the largest certified <br /> public accounting firms in the country. Tommye Barie (a governmental audit partner with Mauldin & <br /> Jenkins)served as the 2015 Chair of the Board of Directors of the AICPA. <br /> Orange County is an important client to Mauldin &Jenkins and one that we would be proud to continue to <br /> serve. Again, on behalf of Mauldin & Jenkins, we are excited about this opportunity to continue the <br /> relationship with the County and look forward to working to help meet the continuing challenges you face. <br /> This proposal represents a firm offer for 120 days from the date of the proposal. As a member of Mauldin <br /> & Jenkins, Joel Black is authorized to bind, and make representations for the Firm, and he will be the <br /> ultimate party responsible for the quality of the report and working papers.
