REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Fee Accountant Services

OWNER: Housing Authority of Fulton County, Georgia

PROJECT: Fee Accountant Services RFP2608-02

I. PURPOSE

The Housing Authority of Fulton County, Georgia (“HAFC” or the “Authority”) is soliciting

proposals from qualified and experienced accounting firms to provide comprehensive fee

accountant, financial remediation, financial reporting, and ongoing accounting services for the

Authority.

This solicitation has two primary objectives:

1. Outstanding Financial Reporting and Remediation: Complete, reconcile, correct, and

close HAFC’s outstanding financial books, records, financial statements, Financial Data

Schedule (“FDS”) submissions, and related financial reporting requirements for the four

fiscal years beginning October 1, 2021, and ending September 30, 2025; and

2. Current and Ongoing Fee Accountant Services: Provide comprehensive fee

accountant services for HAFC’s current fiscal year and subsequent contract years,

including monthly accounting, reconciliations, financial reporting, year-end closeout,

FDS preparation and submission, audit preparation and support, and other financial

management services necessary to maintain accurate, timely, complete, and HUD-

compliant financial records.

The selected firm must have demonstrated expertise in Public Housing Authority (“PHA”)

accounting, HUD financial reporting, Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) accounting, Public

Housing accounting, Financial Data Schedule (“FDS”) preparation and submission, federal grant

accounting, year-end closeout, and financial remediation.

Outstanding Fiscal Years

A significant priority of this engagement is bringing HAFC’s outstanding financial records and

HUD reporting requirements current. The selected firm will be responsible for assessing the

condition and completeness of HAFC’s financial records for Fiscal Years 2022, 2023, 2024, and

2025 and performing the accounting and remediation work necessary to produce accurate,

reconciled, supportable, and audit-ready financial records for each fiscal year.

Services related to the outstanding fiscal years are expected to include, but are not limited to:

 Assessing the completeness and reliability of the general ledger, subsidiary ledgers, bank

records, program records, and supporting documentation;

 Identifying missing, incomplete, unsupported, incorrectly classified, or unreconciled

transactions and account balances;

 Completing bank, general ledger, subsidiary ledger, inter-program, grant, HCV, Public

Housing, and other required reconciliations;

 Researching and resolving material variances and discrepancies;

 Preparing necessary adjusting and correcting journal entries;

 Reconstructing financial records when necessary and when adequately supported by

available documentation;

 Completing year-end closing entries and schedules;

 Preparing financial statements and supporting schedules;

 Preparing, correcting, and/or submitting applicable HUD Financial Data Schedules;

 Preparing schedules and documentation necessary to support independent financial

audits;

 Assisting HAFC and its independent auditor with resolution of accounting questions and

outstanding financial matters; and

 Assisting HAFC in addressing HUD or other regulatory financial reporting deficiencies

related to the outstanding fiscal years.

The selected firm must propose a detailed remediation and completion plan establishing

milestones and target completion dates for each outstanding fiscal year. HAFC expects the

successful proposer to devote sufficient qualified personnel and resources to the backlog so that

remediation of prior fiscal years proceeds concurrently with the performance of current

accounting responsibilities.

Current and Ongoing Fee Accountant Services

In addition to completing the outstanding fiscal years, the selected firm will assume

responsibility for current and ongoing fee accountant services beginning upon contract award.

The firm must establish and maintain accounting processes that ensure HAFC’s financial records

remain current and that required monthly, quarterly, annual, and HUD financial reporting

deadlines are consistently met.

Ongoing services are anticipated to include, but are not limited to, general ledger maintenance

and review; monthly bank and account reconciliations; accounts receivable and payable

oversight and reconciliation; cash and investment reconciliation; HCV and Public Housing

program accounting; portability accounting and reconciliation; grant and restricted-fund

accounting; Capital Fund Program accounting; payroll-related general ledger reconciliation;

preparation of adjusting journal entries; monthly financial statements and management reports;

budget-to-actual reporting; year-end closeout; FDS preparation and submission; audit schedules

and audit support; and financial management consultation to HAFC leadership.

The selected firm will be expected to perform the outstanding financial remediation and current

fee accountant functions simultaneously, without allowing completion of prior-year financial

records to delay or adversely affect the timely maintenance and reporting of current financial

activity.

II. BACKGROUND

HAFC administers a variety of federally assisted housing programs, including the Housing

Choice Voucher Program (“HCV”). HAFC’s voucher portfolio includes approximately 960

vouchers, consisting of approximately 100 Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) Project-

Based Vouchers (“PBV”), 158 additional PBVs, 34 Emergency Housing Vouchers (“EHV”),

and 8 Homeownership vouchers. HAFC also administers approximately 450 incoming

portability (“Port-In”) vouchers and manages approximately 132 Public Housing units supported

through HUD’s Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund Program (“CFP”) Mixed

finance development properties.

Given the diversity of HAFC’s programs and the number of outstanding fiscal periods requiring

completion, proposers must demonstrate sufficient staffing capacity, technical expertise, project-

management capability, and availability to successfully perform both the financial remediation

and ongoing fee accountant components of the engagement.

III. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

1. Licensure: The firm must be comprised of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) licensed

2. Relevant Experience: The firm must have demonstrated experience conducting audits

3. Regulatory Expertise: The firm must possess comprehensive knowledge of federal and

limited to those governing the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

4. Compliance and Integrity: The firm must not be currently suspended, debarred, or
