FINANCIAL-COMPLIANCE AUDITS Financial-compliance audits are conducted by the Legislative Audit Division to determine if an agency’s financial operations are properly conducted, the financial reports are presented fairly, and the agency has complied with applicable laws and regulations. In performing the audit work, the audit staff uses standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the United States Government Accountability Office. Financial-compliance audit staff members hold degrees with an emphasis in accounting. Most staff members hold Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certificates. Government Auditing Standards, the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-133 require the auditor to issue certain financial, internal control, and compliance reports. This individual agency audit report is not intended to comply with these reporting requirements and is therefore not intended for distribution to federal grantor agencies. The Legislative Audit Division issues a statewide biennial Single Audit Report which complies with the above reporting requirements. The Single Audit Report for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, will be issued by March 31, 2006. The Single Audit Report for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, was issued on March 23, 2004. Copies of the Single Audit Report can be obtained by contacting: Single Audit Coordinator Legislative Audit Division Office of Budget and Program Planning Room 160, State Capitol State Capitol PO Box 201705 Helena MT 59620 Helena MT 59620-1705 Phone (406) 444-3616 MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE Senator John Cobb Representative Dee Brown Senator Mike Cooney Representative Tim Callahan Senator Jim Elliott, Vice Chair Representative Hal Jacobson Senator John Esp Representative John Musgrove Senator Dan Harrington Representative Jeff Pattison, Chair Senator Corey Stapleton Representative Rick Ripley LEGISLATIVE AUDIT DIVISION Scott A.
