Sec. 1-122. Annual compliance audit.

      Sec. 1-122. Annual compliance audit. The Auditors of Public Accounts shall annually conduct a compliance audit of each quasi-public agency's activities during the preceding agency fiscal year or contract with a person, firm or corporation for any such audit or audits. Each such audit shall determine whether the quasi-public agency has complied with its regulations concerning affirmative action, personnel practices, the purchase of goods and services, the use of surplus funds and the distribution of loans, grants and other financial assistance. Each audit shall include a review of all or a representative sample of the agency's activities in such areas during such fiscal year. The Auditors of Public Accounts shall submit each audit report to the Governor and two copies of the audit report to the Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee. Not later than thirty days after receiving copies of an audit report from the Auditors of Public Accounts, the Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee shall prepare an assessment of whether the audit report complies with the requirements of this section and shall submit the assessment and a copy of the audit report to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to the quasi-public agency. Each quasi-public agency shall pay the cost of conducting such annual compliance audit of the agency.

      (P.A. 88-266, S. 41, 46; P.A. 03-133, S. 2.)

      History: P.A. 03-133 required Auditors of Public Accounts to conduct or contract for audit, instead of requiring quasi-public agency board of directors to contract for audit, required Auditors of Public Accounts to submit copies of audit report to Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee, said committee to prepare and submit assessment of audit report and copy of audit report to General Assembly, and required quasi-public agencies to pay for audits, effective July 1, 2004.
