ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
We will audit the basic financial statements of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas as of and for the

Honorable Dan Coody, Mayor

✓ Issuance of a report on your internal control over compliance based on the audit of your
compliance with the types of compliance requirements that are applicable to each of your major
federal award programs.
✓ Issuance of a report on your schedule of expenditures of federal awards
We will also examine the written assertion about the compliance with certain Arkansas state acts
made by the management of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants.
The objective of our examination is the expression of an opinion on the conformity of the subject
matter of the assertion in all material respects, with the applicable criteria against which it is
measured. Our report is intended solely for the information and use of the governing body,
management of the State of Arkansas and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, Government Auditing
Standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform:
✓ The audit of the financial statements to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or
fraud.
✓ The audit of compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB
Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement applicable to each major federal award program to
obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether noncompliance having a direct
and material effect on a major federal award program occurred.
Accordingly, a material misstatement or noncompliance having a direct and material effect may
remain undetected.
Our audit of the financial statements is designed to detect misstatements and noncompliance that, in
our judgment, could have a material effect on the financial statements taken as a whole.
Consequently, our audit will not necessarily detect errors or fraud resulting in an immaterial
misstatement of the financial statements.

Audit Committee and City Council
Honorable Dan Coody, Mayor
Mr. Paul Becker, Finance and Internal Services Director
Ms. Marsha Hertwweck, Accounting Director
City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
Likewise, our audit of compliance with the types of compliance requirements applicable to each
major federal award program is designed to detect noncompliance having a direct and material
effect on a major program. Consequently, our audit will not necessarily detect noncompliance
having an indirect and material or an immaterial effect on any program.
An audit also includes obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including
internal controls, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements and to design the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures to be
performed. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control over financial
reporting or on internal control over compliance or to identify material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies. However, we will communicate to you any matter that comes to our attention that
we consider a material weakness or significant deficiency. Because of the limits of internal
control, errors, fraud, illegal acts or instances of noncompliance may occur and not be detected.
Also, in the future, procedures could become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
deterioration in design or operation. Two or more people may also circumvent controls, or
management may override the system. We are available to perform additional procedures with
regard to fraud detection and prevention at your request, subject to completion of our normal
engagement acceptance procedures. The actual terms and fees of such an engagement would be
documented in a separate letter to be signed by you and BKD.
If, for any reason, we are unable to complete our audit of the financial statements or our audit of
compliance with the types of compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award
program or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an
opinion or decline to issue a report as a result of this engagement. If we discover conditions that
may prohibit us from issuing a standard report, we will notify you as well. In such
circumstances, further arrangements may be necessary to continue our engagement.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
To facilitate our audit, management is responsible for making all financial records
documentation and other financial and compliance related information available to us At the
conclusion of our engagement, management will provide to us a letter acknowledging certain
responsibilities outlined in this engagement letter and confirming:
• The availability of this information
• Certain representations made during the audits for all periods presented
• The wntten assertion
• The effects of any uncorrected misstatements, if any, resulting from errors or fraud
aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period
presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial
statements taken as a whole

Audit Committee and City Council
Honorable Dan Coody, Mayor
Mr. Paul Becker, Finance and Internal Services Director
Ms. Marsha Hertwweck, Accounting Director
City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
Management is responsible for fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, for adjusting the
financial statements to correct material misstatements and for identifying and ensuring
compliance with the laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to your activities including
your federal award programs. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance and setting the proper tone;
creating and maintaining a culture of honesty and high ethical standards; and establishing
appropriate controls to prevent, deter and detect fraud, illegal acts and instances of
noncompliance.
The results of our tests of compliance and intemal control over financial reporting performed in
connection with our audit of the financial statements may not fully meet the reasonable needs of
report users. Management is responsible for obtaining audits, examinations, agreed-upon
procedures or other engagements that satisfy relevant legal, regulatory or contractual
requirements or fully meet other reasonable user needs.

management's objectives. Any and all decisions involving management functions related to
those services will be made by you, and you accept full responsibility for such decisions. We
understand that you will designate a management -level individual to be responsible and
accountable for overseeing the performance of those services, and that you will have determined
this individual is qualified to conduct such oversight.
ENGAGEMENT FEES
Our fees will be based on time expended plus charges for travel, long-distance telephone, copies,
etc. and will not exceed $77,900. These fees also include the incremental time and effort to
perform your audit because of the Risk Assessment Suite. We will issue progress billings during
the course of our engagement and our statements are due when received.

System Review Report
July 31, 2008
To the Partners of BKD, LLP
and the Center for Public Company
Audit Firms Peer Review Committee
We have reviewed the system of quality control for the accounting and auditing practice of BKD,
LLP (the firm) in effect for the year ended May 31, 2008. Our peer review was conducted in
accordance with the Standards for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews established by
the Peer Review Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The firm is
responsible for designing a system of quality control and complying with it to provide the firm
with reasonable assurance of performing and reporting in conformity with applicable
professional standards in all material respects. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
design of the system of quality control and the firm's compliance therewith based on our review.
The nature, objectives, scope, limitations of, and the procedures performed in a System Review
are described in the standards at www.aicpa.org/prsummary.
As required by the standards, engagements selected for review included engagements
performed under the Government Auditing Standards; audits of employee benefit plans, and an
audit performed under FDICIA.
In our opinion, the system of quality control for the accounting and auditing practice of BKD, LLP
in effect for the year May 31, 2008 has been suitably designed and complied with to provide the
firm with reasonable assurance of performing and reporting in conformity with applicable
professional standards in all materiel respects. Firms can receive a rating of pass, pass with
deficiency(ies) or fait. BKD, LLP has received a peer review rating of pass.

Attachment to the Peer Review Report of BKD LLP
Description of the Peer Review Process
Overview
Firms enrolled in the AICPA Center for Public Company Audit Firms (the Center) Peer Review
Program have their system of quality control periodically reviewed by independent peers. These
reviews are system and compliance oriented with the objective of evaluating whether:
The reviewed firm's system of quality control for its accounting and auditing practice
applicable to non -SEC issuers has been designed to meet the requirements of the Quality
Control Standards established by the AICPA.
The reviewed firm's quality control policies and procedures applicable to non -SEC
issuers were being complied with to provide the firm with reasonable assurance of
complying with professional standards.
A peer review is based on selective tests and directed at assessing whether the design of and
compliance with the firm's system of quality control for its accounting and auditing practice
applicable to non -SEC issuers provides the firm with reasonable, not absolute, assurance of
complying with professional standards. Consequently a peer review on the firm's system of
quality control is not intended to, and does not, provide assurance with respect to any individual
engagement conducted by the firm or that none of the financial statements audited by the firm
should be restated.
The Center's Peer Review Committee (PRC) establishes and maintains peer review standards. At
regular meetings and through report evaluation task forces, the PRC considers each peer review,
evaluates the reviewer's competence and performance, and examines every report, letter of
comments, and accompanying response from the reviewed firm that states its corrective action
plan before the peer review is finalized. The Center's staff plays a key role in overseeing the
performance of peer reviews working closely with the peer review teams and the PRC.
Once the PRC accepts the peer review reports, letters of comments, and reviewed firms'
responses, they are maintained in a file available to the public. In some situations, the public file
also includes a signed undertaking by the firm agreeing to specific follow-up action requested by
the PRC.
Firms that perform audits or play a substantial role in the audit of one or more SEC issuers, as
defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), are required to be
registered with and have their accounting and auditing practice applicable to SEC issuers
inspected by the PCAOB. Therefore, we did not review the firm's accounting and auditing
practice applicable to SEC issuers.
Planning the Review for the Firm's Accounting and Auditing Practice Applicable to Non -
SEC Issuers
To plan the review of BKD LLP, we obtained an understanding of (1) the nature and extent of
the firm's accounting and auditing practice, and (2) the design of the firm's system of quality
control sufficient to assess the inherent and control risks implicit in its practice. Inherent risks
were assessed by obtaining an understanding of the firm's practice, such as the industries of its
clients and other factors of complexity in serving those clients, and the organization of the firm's
personnel into practice units. Control risks were assessed by obtaining an understanding of the
design of the firm's system of quality control, including its audit methodology, and monitoring
procedures. Assessing control risk is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the reviewed
firm's system of quality control in preventing the performance of engagements that do not
comply with professional standards.
Performing the Review of the Firm's Accounting and Auditing Practice Applicable to Non -
SEC Issuers
Based on our assessment of the combined level of inherent and control risks, we identified
practice units and selected engagements within those units to test for compliance with the firm's
system of quality control. The engagements selected for review included engagements
performed under the Government Auditing Standards, audits performed under FDICIA, a multi -
office audit, and audits of Employee Benefit Plans. The engagements selected for review
represented a cross-section of the firm's accounting and auditing practice with emphasis on
higher -risk engagements. The engagement reviews included examining working paper files and
reports and interviewing engagement personnel.
The scope of the peer review also included examining selected administrative and personnel files
to determine compliance with the firm's policies and procedures for the elements of quality
control pertaining to independence, integrity, and objectivity; personnel management; and
acceptance and continuance of clients and engagements. Prior to concluding the review, we
reassessed the adequacy of scope and conducted a meeting with firm management to discuss our
findings and recommendations.

THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
To: Mayor Dan Coody and the Fayetteville City Council
Thru: Paul Becker, Finance Director , •' ^ /
From: Marsha Farthing, Accounting Director '�tt�,{�
Date: October 22, 2008 `M�
Subject: Annual Audit
Recommendation
Approval of a contract with Baird, Kurtz & Dobson (BKD), LLP for the 2008 annual
audit.
Discussion
The City is required, under Arkansas statutes and applicable bond issues, to have an
annual financial audit conducted by either Legislative Audit or a Certified Public
Accounting firm licensed in Arkansas. Because of the requirements of bond indentures,
the City has for the past thirty plus years utilized the services of a private CPA firm to
perform these mandated financial audits.
BKD was selected by the City following the applicable rules and regulations concerning
the procurement of auditing services. The City entered into a five-year agreement in
August 2002 and selected BKD for another five years through the RFP process in July
2007. Under this contract BKD will provide an annual audit of the City's financial
statements and a review of the City's internal control system as required by state law. In
addition to the financial audit, BKD also issues a report on internal control and
compliance requirements for major federal award programs as required by the Single
Audit Act. The single audit is the primary mechanism used by federal agencies to ensure
accountability for federal awards to non-federal entities.
Finally, BKD also provides technical assistance to the City in producing the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The CAFR includes the City's
financial statements as well as statistical information required by the City's bond
covenants.
Budget Impact
The cost of the 2008 audit is $77,900. The audit will be budgeted in General Fund and
allocated to the various funds of the City.
