The proposals were evaluated by the Department of Finance and Administrative Services staff.<br />
Mauldin & Jenkins was determined to have submitted the best overall proposal.<br />
The audit services will encompass a financial and compliance examination of the County’s<br />
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The financial and compliance audit will cover<br />
federal, state and local funding sources in accordance with the Federal and State Single Audit<br />
Acts; applicable laws and regulations; and generally accepted auditing standards.<br />
The County audit service is for a three-year period. Following the initial three-year period; an<br />
annual extension may be granted by the County.
