Commissioners approve two-year extension with Hinton Burdick for county audit services
Summary
The board approved a two-year extension of the county audit contract with Hinton Burdick CPAs and Advisors for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, citing added audit scope from new accounts and the Central Nevada Health District; the county will split fees with CC Communications where applicable.
Sherry (finance staff) presented a request to exercise a two-year extension option in the county's audit contract with Hinton Burdick CPAs and Advisors. She said the original contract (entered in December 2021) included a two-year extension option and that audit scope has expanded since the original agreement.
Sherry said added responsibilities included the operation of a senior center, 342 new accounts and the addition of the Central Nevada Health District, which requires a single audit. She said the firm proposed fees for the extension and that the county would split fees with CC Communications for the joint audit work related to that entity.
A commissioner moved to exercise the two-year extension option for Hinton Burdick for the county's comprehensive annual financial report audits for fiscal years ending June 30, 2025 and 2026. A second was given; commissioners voted by voice and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the extension continues the existing auditor relationship while addressing increased audit scope tied to new programs and the addition of the Central Nevada Health District; the county plans to revisit procurement at the end of the extension period.
The motion authorized the extension and specified the contract prices presented by the auditor; county staff said the numbers will be split where applicable with CC Communications and that the county may go out to bid after the extension.
