June 12, 20xx Mr. Randall McNeill Director, Contract Administration Illinois Project Consortium 25535 North Riverwoods Boulevard 90 North West, Mettawa Illinois 60045 Dear Mr. McNeill: Re: Request To Expedite Payment - Contract PLC-09-17542 Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been unable to complete the final delivery phase of the exterior wharf retaining wall under the above-noted contract. All work has been completed except for the installation of the tie-down anchors which have not yet been received from the manufacturer. These are expected to arrive within four weeks and we plan to install them as soon as we receive them. In the meantime, we are experiencing a serious cash flow problem which is affecting our ability to complete a number of our other contracts; including the access road extension project (PLC- 10-21743). As you know, any delay in completion of the access road will have a negative impact on a number of other Phase 2 contracts. We therefore request that you immediately release payment for the above-noted wharf retaining wall contract, subject to a 10% holdback to be payable on completion of the tie-down anchors. That arrangement will protect you while at the same time relieving the problems caused by our current cash flow difficulties. Accordingly, please find attached an invoice for the final progress payment of $67,575 for contract PLC-09-17542. If you have any questions at all please contact me immediately at 312-752-3479. On behalf of our entire company I thank you in advance for your kind cooperation. Sincerely, Charles Strathem Construction Contracts Manager 6.Contract letter
May 25, 20xx Mr. Dominic Rafael President and CEO Jenson Structures Inc. 505 Granville Street, 12th Floor Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6C 2R6 Dear Mr. Rafael: Re: Notice of Intent To Conduct An Audit Further to our recent phone conversation, this is to formally advise you that the Olympic Construction Committee has decided to request an audit of the accounting practices of Jenson Structures Inc. The audit will commence immediately and will be performed on behalf of the OCC by Taylor & Hanson Auditing Services Inc. of Vancouver. As you know, this audit was prompted by some serious invoice/work order discrepancies that were noted during a number of our transaction-sampling mini-audits that were conducted over the past six months. When briefed on the results of these mini-audits, the OCC decided that an immediate audit of Jenson’s accounting practices and procedures with respect to invoicing was warranted. The audit will be conducted in full accordance with the OCC’s contract administration and control policy which is an addendum to all of our construction contracts. Among other things, that policy states that “…all outstanding invoices submitted by the company being audited will be held in abeyance until such time as the results of the audit are known.” Also in accordance with the policy, “… depending on the results of the audit, it will be at the Committee’s sole discretion to determine when, and to what degree, any payments will be made to cover any outstanding invoices.” We look forward to your complete cooperation with the auditors so that the audit can be conducted quickly and concluded as soon as possible. If you have any questions about the audit process please feel free to contact the Project Senior Auditor, Janice Gonzalez, at 604-459-4111. Sincerely,
Gordon Cranston Chairman, OCC Accountability Committee
