FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS INVENTORY AND REGISTRY OF HISTORIC ITEMS NOT COMPLETED The Office did not establish a
comprehensive inventory and registry of all historic items for use or display
in the legislative complex. The Legislative Commission
Reorganization Act of 1984 (25 ILCS 130/8A-25) states that, “in addition to
any property control activities required by law, the Architect of the Capitol
shall maintain an inventory and registry of all historic items in the
legislative complex.”
We recommended the Office complete
the projects necessary for establishing a comprehensive inventory and
registry of all historic items for use or display in the legislative
complex. (Finding 1, Page 9) Office
management agreed with the finding and stated the Office is currently in
the process of executing a contract for a Historic Structures Report along
with an inventory of historic items in the Capitol to be completed by June
2008. |

AUDITORS’ OPINION
We
conducted a compliance examination 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.
