FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The General Assembly - House of Representatives had one finding relating to TA-2 forms not being filed. We will review progress toward the implementation of our recommendation in our next audit.

Responses to the recommendation were provided by Fiscal Officers for the House of Representatives and the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

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

The scope of our compliance audit was limited because General Assembly - House of Representatives Republican management did not provide written audit representations for the time prior to their term of office (July 1, 2001 through January 15, 2003).
