SECTION I<br />
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 />
