INTRODUCTION

 

     There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our examination tests.

 

 

 

 

AUDITORS’  OPINION

 

     We conducted a compliance examination of the Legislative Reference Bureau as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  We have not audited any financial statements of the Bureau for the purpose of expressing an opinion, because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
