RFI for Financial Audit Services

The Southeastern Power Administration in Elberton, Georgia is seeking information to identify qualified vendors for financial audit services. The agency needs to secure professional auditing services for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2026. This Request for Information will help the agency plan for the upcoming audit cycle and identify capable organizations. The selected vendor must handle all administrative and coordination matters, sufficiently plan the audit, and develop comprehensive audit programs. The scope of work requires the vendor to follow up on past audit findings and evaluate internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, the vendor must evaluate compliance with laws and regulations, conduct substantive test work, and perform statement verification. The agency requires the delivery of an audit report, or separate reports, on the financial statements of Southeastern, internal control, and compliance, along with a management letter. Eligible organizations must be based onshore within the United States. The agency expects the performance of all audit work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish budget expectations and has not disclosed a specific budget limit. The source document does not specify key deadlines or evaluation criteria for this informational stage.
