Background
The Hall County Library System provides library services for the residents of Hall County and,
through the PINES system, to all residents of Georgia. The Hall County Board of
Commissioners owns all library buildings, with the Gainesville Library located at 127 Main St.
NW, Gainesville serving as the headquarters for the six branch library system. HCLS is a
single county system and a 501(c)(3) unit of government organization.
HCLS serves as a community gathering spot, offering programs and services for all ages. The
library system aims to foster a safe and inviting environment while maintaining high internal
standards and the highest level of fiscal responsibility. To continue to meet these standards,
HCLS is seeking proposals from entities to prepare its annual audited financial statements
and other related financial services.
HCLS receives funding annually from government entities, grants, donations, and
self-generated fees. HCLS receives government funding from the Hall County Board of
Commissioners and the state of Georgia through Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS). Fees
generated primarily include revenue from passport acceptance fees, fines, and copier fees.
Grants are regularly obtained from the state of Georgia as well as private grantors.
The Hall County Library System is seeking competitive sealed proposals for a one-year contract to provide: annual financial statement audit conformed to GAAP; budget certification to Georgia Public Library Service; agreed-upon procedures for Georgia Public Library Service; annual 990 preparation and filing; management letter; financial report presentation to the HCLS Board of Trustees; reasonable year-round consultation on routine accounting issues, GAAP updates, and financial reporting procedures; work with HCLS management to review draft schedules, proposed audit adjustments, and financial statement notes prior to final submission; and provide a secure, encrypted digital workspace or portal for document upload, review, and progress tracking throughout the engagement.
