Regional School District 19 recommends CliftonLarsonAllen to continue as auditor
Summary
The finance committee voted to recommend CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) as the district’s auditing firm under the current contract; staff praised timely delivery of audits and noted the district is in year three of a three-year contract with two optional extensions.
The committee moved to recommend CliftonLarsonAllen as the district’s auditing firm. Amanda said the district is in the third year of a three-year contract with two optional extensions and that CLA provided timely audits this year. “We issued our audits earlier than we’ve ever issued them before,” Amanda said, and she added the district will have a new audit partner this year because the prior partner resigned.
Members discussed whether to re-bid auditing services next year. A committee member noted that the municipal/school-audit market is limited and that a previous bid round returned few responses and higher-than-expected quotes. Amanda cautioned that while re-bidding might make sense, there are relatively few firms that specialize in municipal and school audits and many are at capacity.
Nick moved to recommend CliftonLarsonAllen; Greg seconded. The committee voted in favor and the motion passed. Amanda offered to invite the new audit partner to present audit results to a future finance meeting if members wanted a direct briefing.
The committee did not take any action to initiate a re-bid at this meeting; members left the option open for discussion next year.
