MUNICIPAL AUDITOR SERVICES

The City of Camden is soliciting proposals for a Registered Municipal Accountant to provide Municipal Audit Services for a one-year term from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027. The scope of work is strictly limited to performing the annual audit, the Annual Financial Statement, and other budgetary related duties in accordance with NJSA 40A:5-4. This engagement specifically excludes non-attest services such as general accounting, bookkeeping, budget preparation, or financial consulting, though the auditor may recommend General Ledger adjusting entries discovered during the audit. All fieldwork must adhere to the US General Yellow Book governmental auditing standards and requirements promulgated by the NJ Division of Local Government Services. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bids&Tenders portal by October 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM. The City will evaluate submissions based on a combination of price and other factors, including technical ability, experience, reputation, and the qualifications of assigned staff. An Audit Committee comprising the Mayor, Business Administrator, Chief Financial Officer, a Governing Body representative, and the DLGS Fiscal Monitor will conduct the evaluation. Required submission documents include a Statement of Ownership Disclosure, a Non-Collusion Affidavit, and a cost proposal featuring hourly rates and not-to-exceed calculations. Awarded firms must maintain insurance from a carrier with a Best’s rating of at least A and comply with New Jersey EEO and Affirmative Action regulations.
