Audit Mission of Financial Information for the Nine-Month Period Ending March 31, 2026

This tender concerns a mission to audit the financial information for the nine-month period concluding on March 31, 2026. The scope of work falls under Category S11, which covers financial services and related services, specifically including year-end audits. The procurement method identified is a direct contract, indicating a negotiated agreement rather than a public tender process. This approach is justified under Article 14, which permits direct contracting when the estimated value of the contract falls below the public tender threshold. The contracting authority responsible for this procurement is Dawson College. This engagement is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of Dawson College's financial reporting for the specified period, adhering to established auditing standards and best practices. The audit will likely involve a comprehensive review of financial statements, internal controls, and compliance with relevant regulations. The selection of a direct contract suggests that the contracting authority has identified a specific service provider or has specific reasons for not undertaking a full public tender process, potentially due to the nature or value of the required services. The outcome of this audit will provide assurance to stakeholders regarding the financial health and operational integrity of the institution.

This is a consulting contract in the audit and accounting and finance and banking sectors, with a focus on External Audit and Financial Regulation. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
