RFP 26500021 Addendum 1 Audit Services
This Addendum #1 amends or supplements RFP 26500021 Audit Services, as indicated below.
The Town’s answers to questions asked to date are in red below.
1. Can the Town provide any specific expectations regarding transition from the current auditor, including preferred
timing, level of overlap, and access to prior workpapers? We do not foresee an issue with accessing necessary
workpapers from the current auditors. Preliminary fieldwork may begin once the auditing firm is selected and a
contract signed.
2. Are there any specific areas of financial reporting, internal controls, or compliance that the Town would like the
selected auditor to emphasize beyond standard requirements? No specific areas beyond the standard
requirements.
3. Based on anticipated federal expenditures for FY2026, does the Town expect the audit to include a Single Audit,
and are there any major programs anticipated to require focused testing? Yes, a single audit would apply. FY
2025 federal expenditures were $4.3M. We anticipate that FY 2026 will be in the $2.5M range. Most of our
federal expenditures are for Transportation. The single audit is part of the Town’s ACFR.
4. Can the Town provide any preferences or requirements regarding the use of audit technology, data analytics, or
remote audit procedures during fieldwork? No requirements for the auditor’s technology or data analytics tools.
Some remote fieldwork is okay for follow up after on-site fieldwork is performed. Access to the Town’s ERP
system is available, if desired by the auditors.
5. In addition to the evaluation criteria provided, are there particular attributes or differentiators the Town values
most in selecting an audit firm (e.g., communication approach, continuity of staff, value-added
recommendations)? Consistent staff is appreciated from year-to-year, knowing that staff turnover is inevitable.
The auditors will present the audited financials to the Town Council.
6. For planning purposes, could the Town share the name of the current or most recent audit firm and the contract
value? The current auditors are Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates with a contract price of $45,835.
7. To support proposal development, could the Town confirm whether the most recent audit report and any related
management letter are publicly available? The audit is available on our website, www.christiansburg.org.
All other terms, conditions, and descriptions in the RFP remain the same. The due date and hour remains April 22, 2026,
2:00 PM, EST.
