Financial Audit Service

The Bexar Appraisal District in San Antonio, Texas, requires a qualified vendor to perform a comprehensive financial audit service. The selected auditor must report directly to the finance director and provide continual updates regarding the progress of the audit. Additionally, the auditor must promptly report to the chief appraiser any conditions, transactions, situations, or circumstances that would impede the audit or warrant a special investigation. The scope of work requires the auditor to determine and issue an opinion on whether the financial statements fairly present the financial position of the district as of December 31, 2026. The auditor must also evaluate and issue an opinion on whether the district's investments, accounts payable processing, payroll, cash receipts processing, contractual liabilities, and fixed assets systems substantially comply with appropriate accounting and control standards. The contract period spans one year, and the performance of all audit work will take place offsite. Eligible bidders must ensure all personnel adhere to the independence rules, regulations, interpretations, and rulings of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Participation is restricted to onshore vendors located within the United States. The agency is seeking budget proposals from interested bidders to determine the cost of the engagement, though specific evaluation criteria and key dates are not detailed in the solicitation.
