​Memo 2019-07, originally issued on April 29, 2019, has been revised and reposted.  Additional content, on page 2 and highlighted in yellow, was added to clarify what the auditor can and cannot do if he or she determines that there is no one at the local government client with sufficient skills, knowledge, and experience to oversee the preparation of the financial statements.  We strongly encourage all auditors and units to read this memo carefully a

One of the most frequent questions we get this time of year is “my audit wasn't submitted by October 31st?  What happens now?"   While the contracted due date for all June 30 fiscal year end entities is October 31, not all units are able to submit their audits by this date, for a variety of reasons, most of which are fairly inconsequential.  If your audit will be submitted to us by December 1, 2018, you don't need to do anything.  We have a grace p
