FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

      There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our examination tests.  We commend the Council for maintaining an effective system of internal controls.

 

     

AUDITORS' OPINION

 

     We conducted a compliance examination of the Drycleaner Environmental Response Trust Fund Council of Illinois as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  We have not audited any financial statements of the Council for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
