DESCRIPTION

The City of Jacksonville, Texas, seeks a qualified vendor to provide professional auditing services for a five-year contract term. The selected auditor will be expected to collaborate closely with city staff, ensuring timely communication and responsiveness throughout the audit process.

The auditor will express an opinion on the fair presentation of the city's governmental activities, business-type activities, its aggregated discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregated remaining fund information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The auditor is not required to audit the combining and individual fund financial statements or supporting schedules, nor the introductory and statistical sections of the report, but should review these sections for consistency with the audited financial statements.

A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 18, 2026.
