"Thank you Chris and the Decosimo team for the positive experience during our first independent audit with your firm this past fiscal year.  The transition from our prior auditors went smoothly.  We appreciated the initiative you took in reviewing the prior year reports and offering up suggestions and recommendations to us as we began preparing for the audit.

As the audit progressed, it became clear that you possessed the in-depth knowledge of governmental auditing, accounting and finance that we were seeking when we selected Decosimo as our audit firm.

Your knowledge of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) review program was invaluable during the audit process.  The support and assistance we received in clearing the prior year review comments, discussing these issues with GFOA officials and then determining the proper disclosures necessary to correct these comments was critical in issuing the CAFR.

We are excited to have you and your team returning to Hamilton County this year.  We look forward to a long relationship with Decosimo."
