External Financial Audit Services

The government authority located in Agassiz, BC requires an onshore vendor in Canada to provide independent external financial audit services. For the District's fiscal years ending December 31, 2026, 2027, and 2028, the selected vendor must plan and perform annual financial statement audits, assess audit risks, review significant accounting policies, and perform substantive and control-based audit procedures offsite. The buyer retains an option to extend the engagement for fiscal years ending December 31, 2029, and 2030, though the stated contract period is for one year. The vendor must maintain active communication with the Director of Financial Services and designated staff. This includes confirming audit plans, reporting significant findings and control deficiencies, delivering an annual management letter, and immediately highlighting any matters that could trigger a modified audit opinion. The buyer seeks proposals to determine the budget, but the text omits specific evaluation criteria and key dates.
