4. c. M ICATIONS (Cont'd Mr. Dan Caesar, WSBT -TV Reporter, asked various questions: What was the original.. cost? Reason for the amendment? Was this a routine audit? A routine audit required by HUD? Mr. Brownell advised the reason for the amendment is that the firm audited our records through November 30, 1975, and HUD requested the audit be through the balance of the year, which was the month of December, 1975, and that was the amendment. The original audit contract was $1,810 and the amended total was $1,928.00. Commissioner Wiggins added this was a routine and required audit by HUD. It was strictly on a unit cost basis on which they were the low bidders. This firm was composed of people who formerly worked for the Government and did Government auditing. They learned the procedure that way and went into business for them- selves. Because they know this type of auditing and the books so well, they were able to underbid many of the others and they do a very good job.
