Spencer County awards FY2020 audit contract to RWH for $9,395 after split vote
Summary
After considering multiple proposals, Fiscal Court voted to award the FY2020 audit contract to RWH for $9,395. The motion passed with four ayes and two nays; Treasurer Doug Williams noted a single-audit requirement due to federal funding.
Spencer County Fiscal Court reviewed audit proposals and voted to award the fiscal‑year audit for the year ending June 30, 2020, to RWH for $9,395.
Judge John Riley reviewed proposals in the packet, noting the prior auditor (Ed Lentz) and the need for competitive bidding. Treasurer Doug Williams joined the discussion and advised the court that a single audit would be required because of federally funded activities, an item the court had to account for in the contract scope. The court accepted the RWH proposal on a roll‑call vote: ayes — Esq. Brewer, Esq. Beaverson, Judge Riley and Esq. Travis; nays — Esq. J. Moody and Esq. M. Moody.
Why it matters: The auditor selection affects the county's financial reporting and compliance, including any single‑audit requirements tied to federal funds. The chosen firm will perform close‑out audit work necessary for the county's annual financial statements.
What’s next: Auditor RWH will be engaged to perform the FY2020 audit and coordinate with the county treasurer and staff to complete the single‑audit procedures where required.
