Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(30 ILCS 5/1-13.5)
Sec. 1-13.5. Financial audit. "Financial audit" means a post audit
primarily concerned with providing reasonable assurance about whether
financial
statements are presented fairly in all material respects in conformity with
generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), or with a comprehensive basis of
accounting
other than GAAP. Other objectives of financial audits, which provide for
different levels of
assurance and entail various scopes of work, may include, as appropriate:
(1) providing special reports for specified elements, |
| accounts, or items of a financial statement;
|
|
(2) reviewing interim financial information;
(3) issuing letters for underwriters and certain
|
| other requesting parties;
|
|
(4) reporting on the processing of transactions by
|
| service organizations; and
|
|
(5) auditing compliance with regulations relating to
|
| federal award expenditures and other governmental financial assistance in conjunction with or as a byproduct of a financial statement audit.
|
|
Financial audits are to be performed in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) for field work and reporting, generally accepted government
auditing standards (GAGAS), and AICPA Statements on Auditing Standards (SAS)
current at the time the audit is commenced.
