Board renews auditing services with Forbus Mazars LLP through 2029
Summary
Sedgwick County approved continuing audit services with Forbus Mazars LLP for fiscal years ending 12/31/2026–2029, citing the firm's experience with the county's current systems and a prior forensic grants review; finance staff said the county will still require a single audit but the scale of federal spending may reduce workload.
Sedgwick County voted to continue audit services with Forbus Mazars LLP for fiscal years ending Dec. 31, 2026 through 2029.
"Forbus Mazars has been our audit firm... for both financial and forensic services since late 2016," Joe Thomas, presenting for the Division of Finance, said, recommending continued use for reasons including continuity through an ERP upgrade (S/4/Hana and Ariba), previous forensic audit work on grant activities, and opportunities to retain key audit staff across engagements.
Lindsay Peruso (Finance) clarified the county will still need a single audit — the federally required review of federal expenditures — but anticipated federal spending levels will decrease (after CARES and ARPA and recent projects), which should reduce the single‑audit workload for the next engagement. Commissioners moved and approved the proposal.
