Summary:
|
|
A request for proposals (RFP) was issued for audit services as the District had reached the end of its existing contract and all related extensions. The audit committee and chairperson of the Measure C Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee met to review the responses to the RFP. There were nine proposals received and committee, through its evaluation, decided the top three, one of which was the District's current audit firm, Christy White Accountancy Corporation. The committee opted to recommend changing audit firms, not because of any issues or concerns with the current auditors, but because it is good practice to periodically change audit firms and have a fresh look at the District. The audit committee recommended Nigro & Nigro, PC as the top candidate. Positive references were received from Fremont and Livermore Valley Joint Unified School Districts. |
