Engagement Memo—Audit of Philadelphia 30th Street Station

We are initiating a review of the interior and exterior restoration and redevelopment projects at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our objective will be to assess the effectiveness of the company’s management and oversight of these projects. We may expand our scope or modify our objective during the review. We plan to interview company officials; review relevant policies, procedures, and other documentation; and conduct site visits. We will work to minimize disruptions to the company by coordinating meetings with staff in advance.

We will perform our work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Our interactions with the company will be consistent with P/I 2.1.4, which sets forth the relationship between our office and the company. In particular, section 7.0 of the policy discusses coordination between company officials and our Office of Audits.

We request that your office arrange an entrance conference for us with the appropriate company officials at the earliest possible date. We will keep you advised of the status of our work and any material changes in our objective, should they occur.

If you have any questions, please call (202) 906-4600.
