Investigate CPAs for violations of the statues & regulations

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Board of Accountancy is seeking a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to provide investigator services through a Personal Service Contract. The selected CPA will conduct investigations of other CPAs for potential violations of statutes and regulations governing the practice of public accounting in the state. The investigator will be required to present investigation reports to the Board and may need to testify at administrative hearings. The contract term is anticipated to be from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026, with the option to renew for up to two additional two-year periods.

The Commonwealth reserves the right to negotiate a fair and reasonable compensation rate with the highest-ranked offeror.
