Kamloops, BC—April 22, 2021—the Thompson-Nicola Regional District is pleased to announce that a successful proponent has been selected to carry out the independent forensic audit and special financial review of the TNRD’s financial records and expenses.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted on BC Bid on Friday, March 19th and closed on Monday, April 12th at 4 pm. Six quality submissions were received from experienced firms, which were reviewed and rated by the evaluation team according to the criteria in the RFP. The highest scoring proposal has resulted in BDO Canada LLP, based out of Vancouver, being selected as the successful proponent.
