TASK ORDER REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITING
SERVICES
The District of Columbia Courts (Court) are seeking proposals Federal Government General
Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule firms under the Financial and
Business Solutions (FABS) Schedule 520. The District of Columbia Courts, Budget, and Finance
Division (B&F Division), has an immediate need for the services of a Contractor to perform an
independent financial statement audit of the DC Courts, in accordance with Generally Accepted
Government Auditing Standards and other appropriate auditing standards, as administered by the
DC Courts for Fiscal Year 2026.
The Courts will conduct this procurement in accordance with Subpart 8.4 of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) for the purpose of obtaining auditing and attestation services.
Anticipated tasks in support of the Courts include:
1. Financial Statement Audit
2. Single Audit
3. Audit of the Crime Victim Compensation Program (CVCP)
4. Fiduciary Accounts Examination
5. Discretionary Audits, Examinations, Evaluations, and Inspections (Optional)
The Courts contemplates a single award to one (1) Contractor for a one (1) year base period and
four (4), one (1) year option periods, not to exceed five (5) years.
1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 Financial Statement Audit
(A) Title 11-1723 (a)(3) of the District of Columbia Code states "The Fiscal Officer shall
be responsible for the approval of vouchers and shall arrange for an annual
independent audit of the accounts of the courts." The District of Columbia (DC)
Courts have prepared 'Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs) in
previous fiscal years in accordance with city/state guidelines pronounced by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. However, the DC Courts, through
approval by the Joint Committee on Judicial Administration, which is a policy-
making body for the DC Courts, comprised of the DC Court of Appeals, DC
Superior Court and the DC Court systems have decided to report its financial
activities under guidelines for federal agencies delineated in the Office of
Management and Budget Circulars, such as A-136, Financial Reporting
Requirements. This will culminate in the issuance of an Annual Financial
Statements Report.
(B) The Performance Annual Report (PAR) shall consist of:
Management's discussion and analysis (part of required supplemental information).
Basic financial statements and related notes which shall include:
Page 4
1. Balance Sheet
2. Statement of Net Cost
3. Statement of Changes in Net Position
4. Statement of Budgetary Resources
5. Required supplementary stewardship information, as appropriate. Required
supplementary information.
6. Single Audit section, if appropriate.
(C) The District of Columbia Courts (DC Courts) were formed under the laws of the
District of Columbia Code and operate under the Joint Committee on Judicial
Administration, which is the policy-making body for the DC Courts. The DC Courts
are comprised of the Court of Appeals, the Superior Court, and the Court System.
The mission of the DC Courts is to protect rights and liberties, uphold and interpret
the law, and resolve disputes peacefully, fairly, and effectively in the nation's capital.
Effective October 1, 1997, the "National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government
Improvement Act of 1997" (Revitalization Act) effected major changes in the
funding process for the DC Courts. Under the Revitalization Act, the Federal
Government assumed responsibility for funding the DC Courts directly. However,
the DC Courts are the judicial branch of the District of Columbia government.
Consequently, the DC Courts for financial statements purposes have been complying
with pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB),
which promulgates accounting standards for state and local governments through the
period ending 2008. The DC Courts do not have any component units as defined by
GASB Statement No. 14, the Financial Reporting Entity, because the DC Courts are
fully funded by direct federal appropriations, and the DC Council and Mayor have
no authority over the appointment of members of the Joint Committee.
(D) The Single Audit Act Amendment of 1996 (The Act), Public Law (P.L. 104-156), dated June
14, 1996, and OMB Circular A-133, as revised, require that any state or local government
that receives more than $750,000 in federal financial assistance must have an annual
independent audit "performed in accordance with applicable Federal laws, rules and
regulations. Failure to comply with provisions of The Act could result in severe penalties,
including requests for repayment to the Federal Government and loss of funding.
(E) In the fiscal year beginning in 2009, the DC Courts elected to follow and comply
with Federal Accounting Standards as promulgated by the Federal Accounting
Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) for those transactions deemed material for DC
Court financial reporting. FASAB provides a framework for assessing the existing
financial reporting systems of agencies that operate as or in a similar manner as the
federal government and its respective executive agencies. In addition, FASAB
considers how accounting standards might facilitate and enhance the accountability
as well as the decision making in a cost-effective manner. The four objectives of
federal financial reporting include the following:
