Audit Services Request for Proposals

The City of San Clemente is seeking a qualified CPA firm to perform multi‑year professional auditing services, including annual financial‑statement audits for five fiscal years (FY 2027‑2031) with optional extensions, component‑unit audits, a possible Federal Single Audit, GANN appropriations‑limit procedures, internal‑control reviews, and required state‑controller reporting. The engagement is a fixed‑price contract; bidders must submit a detailed fee schedule per fiscal year and meet licensing, insurance, peer‑review, and independence requirements. The City is transitioning its ERP system, so auditors must be prepared to work in a dual‑system environment during FY 2027‑2028. • Scope covers ACFR preparation, audit reports, internal‑control reports, and related compliance documentation. • Required qualifications include CPA licensing, recent peer‑review, five local‑government references, and specified insurance coverage. • Key dates: RFP posted Oct 12 2026, questions due Oct 22 2026, proposals due Nov 11 2026, award anticipated Dec 2 2026.
