Auditing — Public Procurement
Auditing is a regular procurement area for public enterprises, public corporations and public-law institutions. Services include annual financial statement audits, consolidated audits, special audits, evidence-of-use reviews and audits under public budgetary law. Contracts are frequently awarded as professional services under section 73 VgV.

Challenges in tender discovery
Auditing tenders appear under terms such as "annual financial statement audit", "statutory audit", "financial audit", "audit engagement" or "audit certificate". Professional licensing requirements (WPO) and independence rules restrict the field of bidders.
Since audit engagements are often awarded as professional services, simplified procurement procedures apply below certain thresholds. Not all awards are therefore publicly announced. In addition, audit engagements rotate regularly due to mandatory rotation rules, which opens opportunities for new bidders.
