FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our audit testing. We commend the Home for maintaining effective internal controls.

 

AUDITORS' OPINION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Home as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We also performed certain agreed-upon procedures with respect to the records of the Home to assist our compliance audit of the entire Department of Veterans' Affairs. We have not audited any financial statements of the agency for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
