Fresno County (Calif.) Employees’ Retirement Association is searching for an auditor, said Donald Kendig, retirement administrator, in an e-mail.
The search is being conducted as a due diligence measure. Incumbent auditor Brown Armstrong is invited to rebid.
The RFP is expected to be posted on the pension fund’s website on Thursday. Proposals are due Jan. 6. A hiring decision is expected early next year.
Separately, the pension fund committed $34 million to Warburg Pincus Private Equity XII. The growth fund targets investments in energy, health care and financial services among other sectors.
This is the $3.9 billion pension fund’s fourth commitment to a Warburg Pincus fund. It previously committed $25 million each to Warburg Pincus Private Equity X and Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, and $20 million to Warburg Pincus Equity Partners.
The pension fund has a 6% private equity target.
