The lease expired on April 1, 2000, and it continues on a month-to-month basis. The lease requires San Francisco GolfEnterprises to pay the greater ofan annual minimum rent of $3,000 or a percentage rent. The lease provides for an increased minimum rent ifa driving range and golfshop were constructed and opened for business. However, while the golf shop has been built, the driving range has not yet been built. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY The purpose ofthis audit was to determine ifSan Francisco GolfEnterprises complied with the reporting and payment provisions ofits lease with the Recreation and Park. To conduct the audit, we reviewed applicable terms ofthe lease and the adequacy ofSan Francisco GolfEnterprises' procedures for recording, summarizing, and reporting its gross receipts to Recreation and Park. To determine whether San Francisco GolfEnterprises accurately reported its gross receipts to Recreation and Park, we compared the amounts San Francisco GolfEnterprises reported to the Recreation and Park to the amounts it recorded in its sales records. On a test basis, we examined cash register tapes, cart rental sheets, and daily starter sheets, and traced the amounts to San Francisco GolfEnterprises' rent computation and payment to Recreation and Park. Additionally, we reviewed Recreation and Park's concessionaire payment statements to determine ifSan Francisco GolfEnterprises correctly paid its rent.
