INTRODUCTION

The Legislative Information System is under the direction of the Joint Committee of Legislative Support Services. The System's primary responsibility is providing information technology services to the General Assembly and to its committees, commissions and agencies.

This digest covers the compliance audit of the Legislative Information System for the two years ended June 30, 2002.

There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our audit tests. We commend the System for maintaining an effective system of internal control.

AUDITORS' OPINION

We conducted a compliance audit of the System as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. The System is not required to prepare financial statements. Consequently, there were no financial statements requiring an audit.
