REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR AUDIT SERVICES -
TOWN OF EAST SPENCER, NC
The Town of East Spencer (hereinafter called the "Town") invites qualified independent auditors
(hereinafter called "auditor") having sufficient governmental accounting and auditing experience in performing an audit in accordance with the specifications outlined in this Request for Proposal
(RFP) to submit a proposal.
There is no expressed or implied obligation for the Town of East Spencer to reimburse firms for any expenses incurred in preparing proposals in response to this request.
The specific details shown herein shall be considered minimum unless otherwise shown. The specifications, terms, and conditions included with this RFP shall govern in any resulting contract(s) unless approved otherwise in writing by the Town of East Spencer. The bidder consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in a state court of competent jurisdiction in Rowan County, North
Carolina.
Type of Audit
1. The audit will encompass a financial and compliance examination of the unit's Annual
Financial Report in accordance with the laws and/or regulations of the State of North
Carolina, which include requirements for the minimum scope of the audit. The financial and compliance audit will cover federal, state, and local funding sources in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards; Government Auditing Standards, July 2018 revisions; the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), the State Single Audit Implementation Act; and all other applicable laws and regulations. By accepting this engagement, the Auditor warrants that he has met the requirements for a peer review and continuing education requirements as specified in Government Auditing Standards. The Auditor must provide a copy of their most recent Peer Review Report with their proposal.
2. The scope of the audit and all fee quotes presented should include all approved and known pronouncements through the date of the proposal submission. This includes, but is not limited to, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statement and
Government Auditing Standards. Although some pronouncements will not be in effect until after the first year of the audit, estimates for future years should include pronouncements that will become effective during that contract period. The audit firm will be expected to advise appropriate Town staff on the applicability of accounting and reporting standards as they become effective.
3. The financial audit opinion will cover the financial statements for the governmental activities, each major fund, and the remaining fund information, which collectively constitutes the basic financial statements. The combining and individual financial statements, schedules, and related information are not necessary for fair presentation, but will be presented as additional analytical data. This supplemental information, as required by GASB 34, will be subjected to the tests and other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and an opinion will be given as to whether the supplemental information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The auditor shall express an opinion on the budgetary comparison information for the General Fund, the major funds, and any annually budgeted special revenue funds. An opinion will not be given on the Management Discussion and
Analysis.
The working papers shall be retained and made available upon request for no less than three years from the date of the Audit Report.
4. The audit will also include the following:
a. Pre-planning conference with Finance staff where both the auditor and Finance staff discuss their expectations of the audit.
b. Interim audit work prior to June 30th and/or prior to final close.
c. Attendance at Town Council meeting for presentation of the financial statements by
Manager or Partner of the Audit staff with comments and potential questions from the
Board as requested.
5. The audit should encompass all funds and entity-wide activities as reported in the Town's
Annual Financial Report on June 30, 2023, and any additional funds or entity-wide activities that may be added subsequent to that date.
6. If required, the audit firm will issue a management letter to the Town Council upon completion of the audit. All content must be discussed with the Town Manager prior to issuance. The audit firm is encouraged to discuss the content while the management letter is in draft form to ensure that all parties fully understand the circumstances that lead to auditor comments.
7. The Town staff may require the auditor's guidance or input on the completion of certain schedules/documents as to proper format and content, so that they can be used in the audit process as well as inclusion in the Town's financial statements. Guidance may be required for new note disclosures, all outstanding and effective authoritative standards and other reporting requirements on June 30 year-end. Cost for providing these services should be included in the auditor's base fee quote and will not be considered extra for additional billings. In cases, however, where services requested would require a more in- depth scope and require work significantly above the original fee quote, such additional fees must be negotiated prior to commencement of work.
Auditor Requirements
The audit firm is an independent contractor and will be wholly responsible for the services and the supervision of its own employees and permitted sub-contractors.
A planning meeting will be held each year to determine schedules that the Town will be responsible for preparing. Estimated timeframes will be established and interim audit work will be planned.
Adequate notification will be given prior to any changes in estimated times.
The Town will contract with a CPA with extensive local government accounting experience to prepare the financial statements, note disclosures and management discussion and analysis. The
CPA will prepare an electronic draft of the Annual Financial Report and submit to the auditor by early October. The auditor will communicate all recommendations, revisions and suggestions for improvement within 10 days and the CPA will complete the final report. Once all issues for discussion are resolved the CPA will deliver the final electronic draft to the auditor to insert the auditor opinions and any compliance reports. The auditor will complete and submit the necessary
Single Audit information to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on behalf of the Town.
Meeting LGC deadlines is a high priority for the Town. Therefore, the Town of East Spencer prefers interim fieldwork be completed in early June. Year-end fieldwork should begin by or before mid
August and be completed by late September. While many documents can be shared electronically, the Town expects that the audit firm staff will be onsite for fieldwork, including manager and partner level staff for at least a portion of the onsite work. An agreed upon post- closing trial balance must exist by September 30. The Town Manager will expect a listing of requested information needed for the audit at the preplanning conference, periodic conferences during the conduct of the audit, as we11 as an exit conference prior to the completion of fieldwork.
The timing of the draft and review should insure final completion of the Financial Statements by the annual October 31st deadline or no later than the annual grace period of December
1.
Eight copies of each Audit report, management letter, and other applicable reports must be supplied to the Town Manager within the time frame cited above. In addition, the auditor is responsible for complying with the requirements of the LGC for submitting the audit and all associated documents and forms as required for the year under audit when (or prior to) submitting the final invoice for audit services rendered to the Commission.
In the event that circumstances arise during the audit that require work to be performed in excess of the original estimates, any additional costs will be negotiated prior to commencement of the work and an amended contact will be approved by the governing board and forwarded to the staff of the LGC for the approval.
Either the manager or partner of the audit staff is required to present and attend the Town Council's meeting in which the Audit report is presented. Required communications to the Council can be delivered at this point, as well as general comments regarding the audit process and the results of the audit. Finance staff will coordinate this presentation and determine the date and time of the meeting, typically held in late October following the audit completion.
Audit Contract: Period & Payment of Audit Fees
The Town intends to continue the relationship with the auditor for no less than three years on the basis of annual negotiation after the completion of the first-year contract. Each year after negotiation has taken place an annual contract documenting the terms of the audit will be signed.
Since one governing board may not obligate future governing boards, the remaining years of the agreement are subject to annual governing board approval. The Town of East Spencer reserves the right to request proposals at any time following the first year of this contract. It is requested that proposals be prepared for the following years, with year one being the only obligated year:
July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024
July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025
July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026
The required current revision of the form "Contract to Audit Accounts" (form LGC-205) is required to be executed as the contract document; however, the auditor and the Town may also execute an engagement letter to include additional terms not addressed in the LGC-205. The entire audit contract package must be approved by the staff of the Local Government Commission.
Invoices are subject to approval by the LGC prior to payment by the Town. Interim or progress billings for services rendered marked approved by the LGC will be paid up to 75% of the total fee prior to submission of the final audited financial statements to the staff of the Local Government
Commission. The final 25% of the Audit fees (final invoice) will be paid when the financial statements, single audit (if applicable), management letter and amended contract (if applicable) have been reviewed or approved by the LGC.
