Audit Services (Non-Financial)

The Commission is required to engage with an outside auditing entity to monitor and certify the Commission's random audit selection process and the procedures used by the Commission to audit lobbying statements and reports pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (i) and (ii) that requires the Commission to randomly select registrations and reports without knowing the identity of the filer and develop protocols to ensure that similarly situated statements or reports are audited in a uniform manner. Utilizing a random audit selection process, the Commission's staff audits approximately 200 reports per quarter. On a quarterly basis, the selected entity would examine the process and the audit filings to determine compliance with the requirements of the Lobbying Act. These services would require the entity to issue a report for each quarter. This two-year contract includes a two-year option to renew at the discretion of the agency and selected vendor. Individuals or entities that are currently covered or previously covered by the Lobbying Act are ineligible to submit a proposal. This solicitation is issued pursuant to the agency's discretionary purchasing authority. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) SDVOB Goal: 0.00%
