The Govan Housing Association Group invites tenders from suitable qualified and competent registered external auditors with a high level of knowledge and understanding of the charity sector for the function of external audit. The Govan Housing Association Group invites tenders from suitable qualified and competent registered external auditors with a high level of knowledge and understanding of the charity sector for the function of external audit. It is expected that service provision will commence in September 2021 (following our AGM) with an external audit plan for the audit of the annual financial statements for the year ended 2022 being presented to the Management Committee by the successful provider in 2021. The contract will last for three years with the option for a further two years. The contract is subject to re-appointment annually at our AGM. The Scottish Housing Regulator states that “good governance means taking informed, transparent decisions and managing risk”. The Management Committee is therefore required to maintain effective arrangements for external audit which accord with its policies, objectives, standards, and codes of practice. To meet these obligations, The GHA is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified firm to provide an external audit service which will support us in improving our internal control systems. The scope of the external audit service includes the audit of the financial statements of the Association and its subsidiary, Govan Home Team C.I.C and the creating on consolidated accounts for the Group. The audit service is to be performed to a high standard, timeously and within agreed costs. The basis of the appointment will be a formal letter of engagement.
