Background Information:
The county's audit firm CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) is requesting information from County Counsel for the countywide audit for fiscal year 2022/2023. The firm is requesting information concerning contingencies involving matters that have taken substantive attention on behalf of the County of Tehama with a potential cost of more than $25,000. This information is requested annually for the audit, but has historically been requested by the Auditor-Controller. County Counsel responds annually that they are unable to comply with the request because the direction has not come from the Board of Supervisors. Signing this letter gives the Board's consent for County Counsel to provide the information requested.
