This contract is for an accountant to perform the audit in compliance with the Housing Benefit (Subsidy) Assurance Process (HBAP) Modules and in connection with the LA's claim for subsidy on form MPF720A for 2020-2021 financial year. The audit will be performed as a tri-partite engagement as outlined in the HBAP reporting framework instruction, between the DWP, the LA and the contracted accountant.
