The H-GAC Audit Committee periodically receives and reviews proposals from CPA firms to provide external audit services in compliance with federal and state laws and the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996. In January 2014, the Audit Committee recommended and the Board approved the selection of the CPA firm of Whitley Penn as the independent external auditor for H-GAC. As part of our agreement with the CPA firm, H-GAC reserves the right to review its auditor contract each year.

The Audit Committee has been pleased with the professional audit services of the Whitley Penn CPA firm, the current auditor. The Audit Committee recommends using the services of Whitley Penn for the annual audit of H-GAC financial records for fiscal year ending 2017.
