I. INTRODUCTION

A. General Information

The City of Anderson (the “City”) is requesting proposals from qualified firms of certified public accountants to audit its financial statements for the fiscal

year ending June 30, 2019, with the option of auditing its financial statements for each of the three subsequent fiscal years. These audits are to be performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

There is no expressed or implied obligation for the City to reimburse responding firms for any expenses incurred in preparing proposals in response to this

request.

To be considered, the sealed proposal must be received by Margot Martin, Finance Director at City Hall, 401 South Main Street, Anderson, SC 29624 by 12:00 p.m. on February 28, 2019. The City of Anderson reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted.

Proposals submitted will be evaluated by the City Manager, and Finance Division of the City.

During the evaluation process, the members of this group reserve the right, where it may serve the City’s best interest, to request additional information or

clarifications from proposers, or to allow corrections of errors or omissions. At the discretion of the City, members of this group, or members of City Council, may request firms submitting proposals to make oral presentations as part of the evaluation process.

The City reserves the right to retain all proposals submitted and to use any ideas in a proposal regardless of whether that proposal is selected. Submission

of a proposal indicates acceptance by the firm of the conditions contained in this request for proposals, unless clearly and specifically noted in the proposal

submitted and confirmed in the contract between the City and the firm selected. It is anticipated the selection of a firm will be completed by March 26, 2019. Following the notification of the selected firm it is expected a contract will be executed between both parties by April 15, 2019.

B. Term of Engagement

A four-year contact is contemplated, subject to the annual review and recommendation of the City Council, the satisfactory negotiation of terms

(including a price acceptable to both the City and the selected

firm), the concurrence of the City and the annual availability of an appropriation.

C. Subcontracting

Firms submitting proposals are encouraged to consider subcontracting portions of the engagement to small audit firms or audit firms owned and controlled

by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. If this is to be done, the

name of the proposed subcontracting firms, must be clearly identified in the proposal. Following the award of the audit contract, no additional subcontracting will be allowed without the express prior written consent of the City.

II. NATURE OF SERVICES REQUIRED

A. General

The City is soliciting the services of qualified firms of certified public accountants to audit its financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with the

option to audit the City’s financial statements for each of the three subsequent fiscal years. These audits are to be performed in accordance with the provisions contained in this request for proposals.

B. Scope of Work to be Performed

The City desires the auditor to express an opinion of the fair presentation of its general purpose financial statements in conformity with auditing standards

generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The auditor is not required to audit the statistical section of the report, but should audit the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.

C. Auditing Standards To Be Followed

To meet the requirements of this request for proposals, the audit shall be performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the

United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States

D. Reports to be Issued

Following the completion of the audit of the fiscal year’s financial statements, the auditor shall issue:

1. A report on the fair presentation of the general purpose financial statements in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and statement of fines, assessments and surcharges for Victim Advocate. The financial statements and the notes to the financial statements shall be prepared by the auditor. The letter of transmittal, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the Statistical section shall be prepared by the City staff.

2. A report on compliance and on internal control over financial reporting based on an audit of financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.

7. Fraud and Illegal Acts. Auditors shall be required to make immediate, written report of all fraud and illegal acts or indications of illegal acts of which they become aware to the City Manager and Finance Director of the City.

E. Special Considerations

1. The City will send its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for review in their Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program. The City requires that all audit financial reports be formatted and include all additional schedules and requirements necessary to maintain standards set forth by the GFOA program for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. It is

anticipated that the auditor will be required to provide special assistance to the City to meet the requirements of that program.

2. The City currently anticipates it may prepare one or more statements in connection with the sale of debt securities which will contain the general purpose financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon. The auditor shall be required, if requested by the fiscal advisor and/or the underwriter, to issue a “consent and citation of expertise” as the auditor and any necessary “comfort letters.”

3. The City has determined that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development will function as the cognizant agency in accordance with the provisions of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133.

4. The schedule of federal financial assistance and related auditor’s report, as well as the reports on the internal controls and compliance are to be issued as part of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

F. Working Paper Retention and Access to Working Papers

All working papers and reports must be retained, at the auditor’s expense, for a minimum of three (3) years, unless the firm is notified in writing by the

City of the need to extend the retention period. The auditor will be required to make working papers available, upon request, to the following parties or their designees:
