The Honorable, The Senate:
We have completed a financial and compliance audit of the State of Wisconsin as requested by state agencies to meet the audit requirements of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and provisions of the federal Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128. Our audit covers the period July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. In addition to satisfying audit requirements, the single audit assists us in meeting state audit requirements under section 13.94, Wis. Stats.
Report 96-9 contains the auditor's reports on internal control structure and compliance; findings of noncompliance with federal requirements and the results of our follow-up to prior audit findings; agencies' responses to our recommendations and their plans for corrective action; and the Schedules of Federal Financial Assistance and accompanying notes. We have identified $720,290 in questioned costs.
S861
Our unqualified audit opinion on the State's financial statements was included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. this report was published by the Department of Administration in March 1996 and is available from the Bureau of Financial Operations in the Department of Administration.
Our single audit report is lengthy and detailed. We are, therefore, limiting our initial distribution to those persons required by law to receive copies and to those who have an obvious and direct interest in our detailed findings. However, if you are interested in receiving a copy of the single audit report, please contact our office and request report number 96-9.
