FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

      There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed by our examination tests.  We commend the Agency for its efforts in maintaining an effective system of internal controls.

AUDITORS’ OPINION

      We conducted a compliance examination of the General Assembly - House of Representatives as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  We have not audited any financial statements of the General Assembly – House of Representatives for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
