Overview

Summary

The purpose of this solicitation is to award a one-time contract to a responsive and responsible firm that can provide an external quality assessment for the internal audit function of the Tucson Unified School District.

Background

The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) is one of Arizona's largest public school districts, serving over 40,000 students across 85+ schools in Tucson and surrounding areas. Established in 1867, TUSD is known for its diverse student population, with over 60% identifying as Hispanic and students speaking more than 70 languages. The District offers a wide range of academic programs, including magnet schools, advanced placement, and career and technical education.

TUSD focuses on equity, with initiatives to close achievement gaps and support special education and English language learners. An elected five-member board governs the District and emphasizes community engagement and strategic fiscal management to improve its schools and infrastructure.

The Governing Board established the Internal Audit function in 2017. The internal auditor provides independent and objective audit services related to: efficiency and effectiveness of operations; compliance with state and federal regulations; information system controls; reliability of financial statements; internal controls; risk management; and safeguarding of assets. The unit currently has one Internal Auditor who reports administratively to the District Superintendent and functionally to the District's Governing Board. The Internal Auditor develops an annual audit plan using an annual risk assessment methodology.
