Board authorizes superintendent to issue RFQ for annual financial audit services
Summary
The Leakey ISD Board authorized Superintendent Yeschke to develop and issue a Request for Qualifications for annual audit services, noting the district will use a qualifications-based procurement and that Neffendorf & Blocker has served as auditor for over a decade.
The Board unanimously authorized the superintendent to develop and issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for annual financial audit services at the Feb. 23 meeting.
Superintendent Christopher Yeschke explained that professional audit services are procured via a qualifications-based process rather than competitive bidding, meaning evaluators will consider qualifications and demonstrated competency rather than cost. He noted long-standing service by the incumbent firm: “Neffendorf & Blocker has served as the district's audit firm for over ten years,” and said it is sound practice to periodically solicit interest from other qualified firms. Tammie Dugat moved to authorize development of the RFQ; Donnie Dutton seconded. The motion carried unanimously 5-0.
The Board will review qualifications submitted at a future meeting and select a firm based on demonstrated qualifications.
