RFP Professional Auditing Services

The Olean Urban Renewal Agency is seeking proposals from qualified Certified Public Accounting firms to conduct a comprehensive financial and compliance audit of its operations for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to three additional years. The scope of services includes planning and executing the audit, testing documentary evidence, evaluating internal controls, reviewing management letters, and preparing draft and final audit reports, including copies in both printed and electronic formats. Additionally, the audit will involve reviewing year-end financial reports if available. The agency emphasizes adherence to standards such as GAAP, GAAS, GAGAS, GAS, and GAAFR, and expects the selected firm to evaluate internal controls and provide detailed management reports. The procurement process is open to all New York State counties, with a deadline for proposal submission set for December 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Questions regarding the RFP are due by November 19, 2025, and should be directed via email. The contract is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned, minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged-owned businesses, with no specific subcontracting goals. The agency encourages participation from disadvantaged and minority-owned enterprises but does not impose set-aside requirements. The contract award will be based on experience, approach, and cost, with the agency reserving the right to reject proposals and withdraw the solicitation if necessary. Past experience includes a similar contract awarded to Bysiek, CPA, PLLC in 2022, indicating ongoing relationships with qualified auditing firms.
