These services shall be required with respect to the Authority's financial statements for its (calendar) fiscal years ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, with an option, exercisable solely by the NJSDA, for two one-year renewals covering the fiscal years ending December 31, 2017 and 2018. As provided in EO 122, the Consultant shall be responsible for: publicly attesting to the fairness of the Authority's financial statements; considering the effectiveness of internal controls as a basis for designing audit procedures; and through the issuance of management letters, making comments and recommendations which, when implemented, would improve the design or operation of internal control systems.
