Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Aug. 18, 1987
Report No. AFMD-87-34
Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed audits performed by certified public accountants (CPA) for state and local governments to determine whether there is a relationship between the way the governments procure audit services and the quality of audits that result.

GAO found that: (1) state and local governments are almost three times as likely to receive audits that meet professional standards when they have effective procurement processes; (2) the critical attributes that should be present in any procurement regardless of size are competition, solicitation, technical evaluation, and a written agreement; (3) 58 percent of the governments it reviewed used a procurement process that did not meet all four criteria; (4) the incidence of unacceptable quality audits fell from 46 percent to 17 percent when governments met all four criteria; and (5) governments currently have little guidance and employ a wide variety of procurement techniques.
