She stated that it is good practice to bid contracts out every few years to get the most competitive price. Stating that we have to have a private firm to conduct the Audit and we have been with this firm for the last 4-5 years. One of the faults is timeliness, but some of the fault belongs to us. What has helped this year was having a Finance Director from another county and he was questioning some of the things the auditors were asking us to do. They may ask for a report from MUNIS and then want us to work on it in excel for them. She has reached out to the LGC on what we were asked to do as well. It’s just a good time to bid out for the single county audit. Vice Chair O”Neal stated that this is good competition, maybe do bids in a 1-3 year cycle and this is just good business.
