Update from the State Comptroller's Office re PMUA Audit

State of New Jersey
Office of the Comptroller

August 10, 2009
Dear Assemblyman Green,

Thank you for your referral of information concerning the operations of the Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority (“PMUA”). This office relies on referrals such as this to effectively fulfill our financial oversight responsibilities.

Prior to engaging an audit, our enabling legislation requires our office to undertake a risk assessment based upon a number of objective factors set forth in our statue. As a result of other ongoing audits, our office does not currently have an audit team available to undertake an audit of the PMUA. However, when a team becomes available we will complete our risk assessment to determine whether an audit of the PMUA would be appropriate relative to other audit priorities in the state.

Thank you again for the information you have provided.

Very truly yours,

Melissa Liebermann
Chief of Staff
