DESCRIPTION
The government authority located in Las Vegas, New Mexico is seeking a vendor to conduct a special audit and forensic examination. This engagement aims to independently evaluate the effectiveness, conduct, accountability, and compliance of its governance and executive management functions. The audit will focus on determining whether governing bodies, executive leadership, and affiliated foundation leadership have met their fiduciary responsibilities, demonstrated appropriate oversight, complied with relevant laws, regulations, and contracts, and effectively safeguarded public funds and institutional resources.
The selected firm will perform a comprehensive forensic examination and deliver independent findings, conclusions, and recommendations supported by sufficient and appropriate evidence. Key tasks include identifying the nature, extent, cause, and impact of any issues; quantifying financial losses, liabilities, unauthorized expenditures, and risks; pinpointing systemic weaknesses and control deficiencies; and identifying responsible parties where evidence permits. Additionally, the firm will be expected to propose detailed, actionable recommendations for corrective action and enhancing accountability. The contract period will be for one year.
