The Committee found that the audit received by the University has not been confined to a balance sheet audit, but has included a verification of operating items, and that the certification given by the auditing firm so states. The Committee recognized that the University benefits from an audit by a firm employed by the Board not only in verification of the transactions, but also in professional consultation on methods and procedures. The Committee recommends the continuation of the practice of employing a firm of public accountants and the continuation of the engagement of the firm of Haskins and Sells for the second year. The fee is based on per diem rates and expenses with the understanding that the aggregate charges will not exceed the following amounts:

University of Illinois (all divisions) $13 200 University of Illinois Foundation (including its Retirement System) . . . 660 University of Illinois Athletic Association (including its Retirement System) 825

On motion of Mr. Megran, the Board approved this recommendation but referred it to the Executive Committee for implementation and with power to act.
