About this file

This document is the Government's response to questions received in relation to a Request for Information (RFI) for an independent public accounting (IPA) firm to conduct an integrated audit of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) consolidated financial statements.

The key details are as follows: The RFI solicitation number is REQAUD-24-00-007, with responses due by April 2, 2024 at 10:00 AM EST. The Government clarifies that Volume II of the proposal should include background, labor categories, clearances, audit scope, deliverables, quality assurance and independence, while Volume III should focus solely on the audit approach. The RFI incorrectly listed the NAICS code as 511210, when it should be 541211 for Offices of Certified Public Accountants with a $26.5 million size standard. The Government indicates the RFI will need to be reposted under the correct NAICS code. Respondents are encouraged to include their small business status information in Volume I.
