Summary Explanation/Background
Based on the unique and complex nature of construction project agreements and invoicing practices, we engaged the services of an experienced and specialized third party auditor, Hoar Program Management, LLC (HPM) to conduct an audit of the Agreement Between the Sheriff of Broward County and the ANF Group, Inc., for the Design and Construction of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Training Center.
The objectives of the audit were to verify that the contract sum was not overstated and that the costs were reimbursable per the terms of the contract.
HPM has identified a potential overstatement of the contract Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of $836,977 and potential cost exceptions totaling $1,453,027 (including the overstated GMP amounts paid as of the end of the audit period). We concur with HPM’s assessment, and as applicable, recommend recovery of all identified amounts. It is important to note that this audit is not a final assessment of all amounts payable, as project work remains ongoing, and additional cost reviews and end of project reconciliations will occur.
We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the Broward Sheriff’s Office, County Administration and Construction Management Division throughout the review process.
