International audit firms experienced in municipal infrastructure investments are invited to apply

Within a project for collection and treatment of waste water in Bihac (Bosnia and Herzegovina), the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW, literally Bank for Reconstruction) intends to select an auditing firm to carry-out audit on funds used for the implementation of works.

The audit will comprise funds from various funding sources, including:

  • funds from KfW,
  • EU funds,
  • funds from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
  • counterpart funds.

The objective of the audit of funds disbursed under simplified direct disbursement and the direct disbursement procedure is to permit the auditor to express an opinion on the concerned financial reports.

An international audit firm experienced in auditing public and in particular in municipal infrastructure investments will carry-out annual audits covering the years 2013-2016 including a final audit in 2017 (an audit for 2017 might be necessary in case the project will not be completed in 2016). The annual audits and the final audit will be in accordance with international auditing standards.
