REPORTING AND AUDITING REQUIREMENTS<br />

PROGRAM SPECIFIC AUDITS<br />

Background<br />

The Comptroller of <strong>the</strong> Treasury requires that program-specific audits of state funds, when<br />

approved, be conducted in accordance with Government <strong>Audit</strong>ing Standards (Yellow Book).<br />

Program specific audits of federal funds must be approved by <strong>the</strong> grantor and <strong>the</strong> Comptroller’s<br />

Office. The financial report would normally include similar information as is required for state<br />

funds, except that <strong>the</strong> yellow book internal control and compliance report would be omitted and<br />

<strong>the</strong> A133 report on compliance and internal control would be issued. Care needs to be taken to<br />

ensure that any additional requirements of <strong>the</strong> federal granting agency are complied with.<br />

There are two basic reporting options, and <strong>the</strong> option that will be used must be agreed upon by<br />

<strong>the</strong> entity, grantor and Comptroller’s Office prior to executing a Contract to <strong>Audit</strong> Accounts.<br />

The Contract to <strong>Audit</strong> Accounts should reference <strong>the</strong> option approved in <strong>the</strong> special provisions<br />

section of <strong>the</strong> Contract to <strong>Audit</strong> Accounts.<br />

Any program specific audit submitted to <strong>the</strong> Comptroller’s Office that has not been preapproved<br />

will not be accepted.<br />

Reporting<br />

Option 1<br />

The basic report outline is:<br />

• <strong>the</strong> independent auditor’s report;<br />

• a detailed schedule of revenues and expenditures (expenses);<br />

• (This schedule can be structured to double as <strong>the</strong> schedule of<br />

expenditures of state/federal awards)<br />

• a schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance (if <strong>the</strong><br />

option in <strong>the</strong> previous item is not implemented);<br />

• a yellow book report on internal control and compliance and/or an OMB Circular<br />

A-133 report on internal control and compliance, as appropriate.<br />

Option 2<br />
