FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

     There were no material findings of noncompliance or material weaknesses disclosed by our examination tests. 

 

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION 

     

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