Legislative Audit Bureau
February 12, 2003
The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a financial audit of WHA Radio, as requested by the University of Wisconsin-Extension to fulfill the audit requirements of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Corporation requires audited financial statements of public broadcasting entities to determine future funding levels.
WHA Radio is licensed to the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and is operated by the University of Wisconsin-Extension. WHA Radio received $8.8 million in revenues during fiscal year 2001-02, including state support, member contributions, funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and various other grants.
Our audit report contains the financial statements and related notes for fiscal years 2001-02 and 2000-01. We were able to issue an unqualified independent auditor's report on these statements. A new financial reporting model was implemented for fiscal year 2001-02 that changed the presentation of the financial statements. An important feature of the new model is Management's Discussion and Analysis, which is prepared by management of WHA Radio and provides an overview of the financial statements and an analysis of financial results.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by University of Wisconsin-Extension staff during the audit.
Sincerely,
Janice Mueller
State Auditor
