Specified Audit Procedures (Agreed-Upon Procedures)

The contract is for the execution of specified non-assurance procedures as defined by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, focusing on targeted tasks such as transaction testing and data validation without providing any form of audit opinion or assurance. These procedures are designed to meet specific government requirements for verifying data integrity and transactional accuracy, operating under the framework of agreed-upon procedures rather than a traditional audit. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, indicating professional, scientific, and technical services related to accounting and auditing support, and is tied to the National Capital Region as the primary place of performance. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, and is managed by the Government of Canada through the Department of Industry. Although no set-aside status is specified, the contract is issued under a federal procurement initiative and is accessible via the Canada Buys portal. Performance will involve delivering detailed, evidence-based findings based on predefined criteria, without drawing conclusions or expressing an opinion on overall financial or operational reliability. Contractors must adhere strictly to the scope outlined by ISED, ensuring precision and compliance with government standards for data verification activities.
