Body
SUMMARY:
The current Chief Audit Executive (CAE) agreement with Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. (A4570A/CAS5183) is set to expire on November 22, 2026, after the completion of the five-year agreement including the initial three-year term and two one-year time extensions. To ensure continuity of audit operations and allow sufficient time for the incoming CAE to complete the tri-annual risk assessment and develop the recommended 2027 audit plan by November 30, 2026, as required by the Audit Charter, the Board Audit Committee (BAC) recommends that the Board approve the initiation of a Request-For-Proposal to solicit a new Chief Audit Executive agreement.
