Specifications include, but are not limited to: Bank of North Dakota has an ongoing need for assistance with two to six internal audits and/or consulting engagements annually. BND plans to meet this need by awarding contracts to multiple vendors. BND is not obligated to commit to a certain number of engagements with each vendor. Once these contracts are in place, BND will use a structured work order request process to obtain financial, operational, compliance, and information technology internal audit services. BND Internal Audit takes an integrated audit approach and would expect the selected audit firms to take the same approach, as it is applicable to each engagement. Services will include, but not be limited to, interviewing key process owners and stakeholders, reviewing existing policies and procedures, and validating that internal controls are structured appropriately to manage risk. The Contractor may provide the budgeted hours based on the scope of the audit as determined by BND Internal Audit or BND Internal Audit may determine the budgeted hours. In most instances, BND Internal Audit will present the audit or consulting reports to management. BND may request the audit firm to join via teleconference when reporting engagements of a more complex nature.
