(If the audit periods extend beyond 1 year, include all audit periods in the RFP.) The District reserves the right to suspend the provisions of the contract for any year in which the District expends less than the qualifying amount of federal awards set forth in the Uniform Guidance. II. Scope of services required The selected audit firm will be required to perform an annual financial audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards (GAS), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Uniform Guidance and issue the reports required by those standards and the Uniform Guidance. In addition, the audit firm must complete a USFR CQ. Districts must comply with the USFR. To help determine whether districts are in compliance, the Arizona Auditor General has developed the USFR CQ, which consists of a series of questions the District’s audit firm must complete regarding requirements set forth in the USFR and Arizona Revised Statutes. The audit firm may obtain a copy of the USFR CQ in the USFR Manual on the Arizona Auditor General website at www.azauditor.gov.
