This is a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Attachment II) document associated with a Financial Audit Services solicitation issued by the City of Buda, Texas. The questionnaire serves as a required submission for qualified and experienced public accounting firms whose principal officers are independent Certified Public Accountants seeking to provide comprehensive audit services. The solicitation encompasses performance of the City's annual financial audit, conduct of the City's Single Audit of State and Federal grants, provision of related audit services as specified in the solicitation, and additional assistance as required for fiscal years ending September 30, 2026 through 2030. The contract term extends five fiscal years with potential for renewal based on performance and City requirements.

The Conflict of Interest Questionnaire is a standard disclosure document that requires bidding firms to identify any potential conflicts of interest, financial interests, or relationships with City officials, employees, or other entities that could impact their ability to provide independent and objective audit services. Completion and submission of this questionnaire is a mandatory requirement for bid consideration, ensuring compliance with government ethics and conflict of interest regulations. Firms must provide detailed information regarding ownership structures, related parties, prior City relationships, and any other relevant circumstances that could compromise audit independence or create appearance of impropriety.
