From the transcript
So with 2 different audit firms and it being a first time through for Bartlett's auditors, um, they had additional time that was needed for them to complete their audit. And because of that, because we didn't get Bartlett's final issued financial statements, then CBJ wasn't able to finish out some of their final allocations, specifically the internal service allocations, until we have both Bartlett and school district financial statements. I put together— and this was something that I had shared, um, with, um, the finance chair and, and, um, mayor and finance director over time— of just looking back at the history of when each of these audits was issued. And, um, we can see looking at the trend is that, um, fiscal '14 was the first that Bartlett, um, issued separately. Um, for the most part, when Bartlett's issued, it usually takes a month or less to— before CBJ is ready to issue.
