INTRODUCTION

 

      The Legislative Information System is under the direction of the Joint Committee on Legislative Support Services.  The System's primary responsibility is providing information technology services to the General Assembly and to its committees, commissions and agencies.

 

      This digest covers the compliance examination of the Legislative Information System for the two years ended June 30, 2006.

 

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

 

AUDITORS' OPINION

            We conducted a compliance examination of the System as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  The System has no funds that require an audit leading to an opinion on financial statements.
