Financial Audit Services

The Antelope Valley Transit Authority in Lancaster, California is seeking a qualified United States-based firm to perform comprehensive financial audit services. The agency requires an independent auditor to express an opinion on whether its financial statements fairly present its financial position and changes in financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This initiative aims to ensure regulatory compliance, assess internal controls, and provide management with actionable recommendations for accounting and administrative improvements. The scope of work covers auditing the agency's financial statements and issuing an independent auditor's report. The selected auditor must test internal controls over financial reporting and compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. Additionally, the auditor must prepare a report for the Board of Directors and Management identifying any control deficiencies, and complete a single audit in compliance with OMB A-133. Eligible bidders must be organizations based entirely within the United States. The agency allows the selected contractor to perform all auditing work offsite. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project and has not signaled a specific funding limit. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 3, 2026.
