DESCRIPTION


A government authority in California seeks an independent financial consultant or financial consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its financial condition, spending practices, long-term sustainability, and alignment of financial resources with its mission and strategic priorities.

The engagement will provide an objective, independent assessment of how financial resources have been generated, allocated, and spent over the past five fiscal years. The consultant will evaluate the authority’s financial condition and determine whether its current financial model is sustainable over the short, medium, and long term.

The analysis will identify trends in revenues, expenditures, staffing, consulting costs, capital commitments, reserves, liabilities, and other significant financial indicators. It will also assess reserve adequacy, reserve policies, cash position, and contingency planning in relation to operating risks, revenue structure, capital obligations, and long-term stewardship responsibilities.
