Description

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

DFID is continually seeking ways to improve value for money, maximise results and reduce fraud and corruption risk in its programmes. Audits of the programme are an important way of achieving this. DFID places reliance on annual financial audits for routine programme management; while useful in giving a general assurance of a partner's financial statements, financial audits have their limitations. For higher risk programmes, or when suspicions or concerns occur, other types of specialised audits may also be required. This framework agreement will provide DFID with the ability to call upon the services of a range of specialist audit skills at short notice, to support our business needs. The service provider will be asked to provide forensic audit and forensic investigation related inputs and advice to Internal Audit Department (IAD); DFID country offices and regional programmes; and to central departments, generally, on demand. The service provider may occasionally be required to work in post-conflict and highly volatile countries.
