External Financial Audit Services

A government authority located in Ontario is seeking external financial audit services to ensure the integrity of its financial reporting. The agency needs a qualified vendor to perform fiscal year-end audits for the years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030. This initial five-year agreement is subject to satisfactory annual performance assessments, and the municipality retains an option to extend the contract under the same terms and conditions for an additional two consecutive fiscal year-end audits. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to conduct all auditing activities offsite. Eligible bidders must be Canadian organizations operating onshore. To access and download the unwatermarked Request for Proposal document, bidders must register directly on the issuing authority's website. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the services. The evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's ability to meet the specified audit requirements over the potential seven-year period. Key dates and specific proposal submission deadlines are detailed within the official registration portal.
