INTRODUCTION
Effective June 1997 the Governor created the Governor’s Commission on the Status of Women in Illinois (Commission). This Commission, which was created by Executive Order Number 1, (1997), expired as of December 31, 1998. On January 21, 1999, the Commission was re-established by Executive Order Number 1 (1999). The primary purpose of the Commission was to study the issues surrounding women’s equity in Illinois. Other purposes of the Commission were to examine and promote utilization of public-private partnerships to raise awareness and develop collaborative solutions and to make recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly for statutory and programmatic changes necessary to eliminate barriers to equity for women.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
There were no material findings disclosed during our audit tests. We commend the Commission for maintaining an effective system of internal control.
AUDITORS’ OPINION
We conducted a compliance audit of the Commission as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. The Commission had no federal or State trust funds. Consequently, there were no financial statements requiring a financial audit leading to an opinion.
