2. The Legislative Auditor shall keep a list of firms qualified and willing to perform this kind of audit. Firms desiring to be included on the list must annually submit to the Legislative Auditor statements of qualifications and data relating to the performance of the firm, including relevant information regarding any consultants used or to be used by the firm.
3. When the Audit Subcommittee chooses to contract with a firm to perform an audit, the Legislative Auditor shall evaluate the data on file for each firm, together with any statements which firms may submit regarding the proposed audit and any other pertinent information. The Legislative Auditor shall prepare a list of not fewer than three firms which, in the judgment of the Legislative Auditor, are qualified to perform the proposed audit. The Legislative Auditor shall submit the list to the Audit Subcommittee.
4. Two or more separate audits may be combined by the Audit Subcommittee to obtain auditing services from a single source. Audits combined in this manner shall be deemed a single audit for purposes of compliance with NRS 218G.330 , 218G.340 and 218G.350 .
