INTRODUCTION

There were no material findings disclosed during our audit tests. We commend the Office for its efforts in maintaining an effective system of internal control.

 

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Office as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We have not audited any financial statements of the Office for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the Office does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
