An order affecting ch.
PI 35, relating to financial reporting requirements under the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program and affecting small business. Effective 11-1-05.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rules establish how private schools participating in the MPCP program will meet the new financial reporting requirements established under
2003 Wisconsin Act 155.
In January 2004, there were 106 private schools participating in the MPCP, with a total enrollment of 12,231 students in the program. It is anticipated that the private school financial audit requirements will have a slight fiscal effect since many of the participating schools currently have limited audit procedures in place. Auditing costs for small public school districts range from $2,000 - $4,000 annually. It is assumed that auditing costs to participating private schools will fall within the higher end of the $2,000 - $5,000 range and are not considered significant. The actual costs will vary depending on the number of financial transactions and expertise of the private school's accounting staff. The status of the financial records maintained by the private school staff will directly affect the time involved in auditing those records.
