REGIONAL OFFICES OF EDUCATION AUDITS

 

Public Act 92-544, effective June 12, 2002, gave the Office of the Auditor General the responsibility for the conduct of annual audits of the financial statements of all accounts, funds and other moneys in the care, custody or control of the regional superintendent of schools of each educational service region in the State.  Previously, these audits were the responsibility of the Illinois State Board of Education.  There are 48 total audits to perform; 45 are of Regional Offices of Education and 3 are of Intermediate Service Centers.  As of December 31, 2007, 47 fiscal year 2006 audits had been released.

The following is a listing of financial audits, single audits and compliance attestation examinations for the period(s) ending June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, and April 30, 2007.  This list also includes four compliance examinations pertaining to the CTA, RTA, Metra, and Pace for the year ended December 31, 2005.  As the year progresses the “date released” column will be completed.
