# Culpeper County Considers Audit Expansion

Culpeper County, Virginia, engaged CliftonLarsonAllen LLP under an agreement signed August 7, 2025, for a forensic financial review covering procurement and purchasing-card activity, grants, compensation, and internal controls. The executed agreement is described as a two-year contract, but the county was working through administrative details for a proposed expansion to five years that would double the price; the revised term and cost were not established in the report. This is an existing award, not an open solicitation.

- The review’s scope includes procurement and purchasing practices, making it relevant to local-government audit and forensic accounting firms as an example of demand for transaction testing and internal-controls work.
- The proposed expansion’s unresolved terms mean the reported five-year term and price increase should not be treated as finalized contract requirements or a new procurement opportunity.
- Firms pursuing similar county work can use the described scope to understand the services involved, including reviews of purchasing-card activity, grants, compensation, and financial controls.
