Introduction

Introduction

The primary objective of the consultancy is to engage an audit firm to conduct audits for the nine Provincial Governments in the Solomon Islands. This initiative will assist the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) in clearing the backlog of provincial government audits for the financial years ending 31 March 2022 and 2023. This is a priority under the Local Adaptive Living (LoCAL) facility of the UN Capital Development Fund. LoCAL was designed and launched in 2011 with the aim of promoting climate change–resilient communities and local economies by establishing a standard and internationally recognized country-based mechanism to channel climate finance to local government authorities in developing countries, and to increase local resilience. LoCAL combines performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs) with technical and capacity-building support. PBCRGs ensure programming and verification of climate change expenditures at the local level and offer strong incentives for general performance improvements targeting areas of importance for enhanced resilience.

 

Scope

Under this proposal, firms are asked to propose individuals or teams to undertake the review work described below. While work can be undertaken remotely it is our experience that there will be stronger and more timely engagement from the OAG team if review and coaching is undertaken in-country. Firms are therefore expected to propose a combination of in-country and remote engagement to ensure a cost-effective model. Having consistency in the proposed team would be beneficial to allow for relationships to be built between OAG staff and the firm.

Interested suppliers must submit their offer directly in the system as instructed in the solicitation document, following the instructions in the available user guide. n case you have never registered before, you can register a profile using the registration link shared via the procurement notice and following the instructions in the guides available in UNDP website:  https://www.undp.org/procurement/business/resources-for-bidders.

The Provincial Governments apply International Public Sector Accounting Standards (cash-based). The firm will also guide the OAG audit team to ensure that audits are conducted in accordance with the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs) and OAG methodology.
