External Review of Financial Statements

The Ehlanzeni District Municipality is inviting tenders for the appointment of a professional service provider to perform a thorough external review of its interim and annual financial statements, including those of its four local municipalities. This review aims to ensure compliance with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) and Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) standards, enhancing the quality and accuracy of financial reporting. The successful bidder will be responsible for identifying material errors and deficiencies, ensuring all financial disclosures meet statutory requirements, and preparing a comprehensive review report.

Tenderers must demonstrate their capability by providing a range of mandatory documents, including a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) report, SARS PIN certificate, and certified company registration documents. The evaluation will follow an 80/20 preference points system, with a minimum score of 70 points required for further consideration. This tender is an excellent opportunity for firms with extensive experience in municipal finance and auditing, particularly those with a proven track record in GRAP implementation and compliance assessments.
