Municipal Audit Services

The government authority located in New Jersey requires a USA-based organization to provide municipal audit services, including consulting accountant services for general accounting, financial statement preparation, or budget assistance. The buyer mandates that the auditor design fieldwork to provide reasonable assurance that financial statements lack material misstatement. The vendor must perform all work offsite and finish the audit within six months following the fiscal year's close. Additionally, the buyer requires the auditor to meet with the Audit Committee at least three times: before fieldwork begins, mid-way through fieldwork, and upon completing fieldwork. Either party may call additional meetings at their discretion. The vendor must provide comments and recommendations for all audit findings. The buyer seeks proposals to determine the budget and provides no further evaluation criteria.
