External auditor can be a very subjective process involving several factors. Auditing Standards issued by the Government Accountability  Office (GAO), noted that a sound procurement practice when contracting for audit services should consider other factors besides the fee.

 

Public entities should select auditors only after considering the following five basic steps for an effective audit procurement process:

Step1: Planning—determining what needs to be done and when

Step2: Communicating Audit Requirements and Soliciting Proposals—writing a clear and direct solicitation document and disseminating it widely

Step3:  Selecting a Qualified Auditor—authorizing a committee of knowledgeable persons to evaluate the ability of prospective auditors to effectively carry out the audit

Step4: Writing the Agreement: Documenting Expectations—documenting the expectations of both the entity and the auditor

Step5: Monitoring the Audit: Ensuring a Quality Audit—periodically reviewing the progress of the audit.
