ARTICLE 7. Federally Mandated Audits of Block Grant Funds Allocated to Local Agencies |
Section 53130.
-
In connection with federal block grant funds which require mandated financial and compliance auditing, the Legislature finds that there is limited coordination of audits among federal, state, and local auditors and independent public accountants auditing local agencies, which may result in overlaps and gaps in audit coverage.
The Legislature further finds that it is essential to establish audit procedures that conform to the standards of independence and quality contained within the federal Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions.
Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to promote audit coordination by designating the agencies listed in Section 12430 as responsible for assuring that local agencies provide for or otherwise adhere to federally mandated financial and compliance audit requirements for block grant funds allocated to them.
