INTRODUCTION

The Illinois Petroleum Resources Board was created July 10, 1998 by the Illinois Petroleum Education and Marketing Act. Its mission is to coordinate a program designed to demonstrate to the general public the importance of the Illinois oil exploration and production industry; to encourage the wise and efficient use of energy; to promote environmentally sound production methods and technologies; to develop existing supplies of State oil resources; and, to support research and education activities concerning the oil exploration and production industry.

This digest covers the compliance audit of the Board for the year ended June 30, 2003. The Board received an appropriation from the Illinois General Assembly through the Department of Natural Resources.

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

AUDITORS’ OPINION

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