Contractor hereby enters into an agreement with ______________________________, hereinafter referred to as
the Contingency Subcontractor, to subcontract a portion (or all) of the services to be performed under all the
Contractor’s outstanding audit contracts, in the event the Contractor becomes incapacitated. The Contractor will
be deemed “incapacitated” if the Contractor is unable to complete services under outstanding audit contracts due
to the Contractor’s impairment by reason of mental illness, physical illness, or other cause.
Regarding all outstanding audit contracts the Contractor has at the time the Contractor becomes incapacitated, the
Subcontractor may have the following responsibilities (depending on when the Contractor becomes
incapacitated):
(1) oversight and supervision of the Contractor’s audit staff (if applicable) or the Subcontractor’s audit staff, for
the completion of all audit field work, audit documentation preparation, report drafting, and other non-audit
services;

(10) payment of wages to the Contractor’s audit staff (if applicable) from the audit contract proceeds;
(11) requests for justifiable contract amendments from the State Auditor; and
(12) distribution of a percentage of all the contract profits to my firm based on the percentage of completion when
the Contractor became incapacitated.
These Subcontractor responsibilities regarding the Contractor’s outstanding audit contracts will be carried out by
the Subcontractor in accordance with all applicable auditing standards and Section 2.2.2. NMAC, the Audit Rule.
