An unprecedented year is creating much confusion and uncertainty for the

future. As we enter into these uncertain times, the Audit Regulations will

definitely be included in the change of the landscape. As we have seen in

past years, statutory regulations often drive the inclusion of programs in the

Audit Regulations; this year is definitely no different. In fact, funding for

school agencies has decreased significantly. However, this does not preclude

programs from being added to the Regulations, particularly since much has

changed with the most recent Budget revisions. The number of audit

findings included in the annual audit reports submitted to state agencies

does not go unnoticed.

Despite the decrease in funding, districts will still need to contend with

compliance guidelines for ongoing state and federal programs. The

oversight by county offices (AB 2756, Chapter 52/2004) will increase

during our fiscal crisis and continue during the next couple of years, based

on the fiscal pressures.

This workshop will include an update on new Budget compliance

requirements, mandates and mandate audits, the Audit Regulations, and

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements, and will

provide school agency business managers with the tools to manage their

annual audit easily and successfully. We will include up-to-date information

on all of the current changes for the 2008-09 fiscal year and the proposed

changes for 2009-10. Audit preparation tips and potential compliance traps

will be shared in areas that include:
