Section 30 ILCS 5/3-3A - Federal auditsThe Auditor General may conduct, either as a separate post audit or as part of a related authorized post audit, an audit of federally funded programs or activities conducted by or through State agencies if the cost of the federal audit or the additional federal audit work is reimbursed to the State from federal funds or such audit is approved by the Commission.
Any audit effort conducted pursuant to this Section may be conducted only within the limitations and standards established by this Act or within the terms of regulations adopted pursuant to this Act. Such limitations and standards shall include the following:
(a) By November 1 of each fiscal year, any State agency which has received or expects to receive any federal funds from any source whatever for that fiscal year, whether by grant, gift, loan, setoff or otherwise, shall notify the Auditor General of the actual or estimated amount and federal agency source of said federal funds.(b) The Auditor General shall determine the cost of auditing such federal funds under the Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended, or other applicable federal audit mandate, and shall communicate his cost determinations to the affected agencies. If any such agency disagrees with the Auditor General's cost determinations, it shall immediately inform the Auditor General thereof and the matter shall be referred to the Legislative Audit Commission, which shall promptly arbitrate the disagreement and determine a cost figure which shall be binding upon both the Auditor General and the affected agency.(c) After the Auditor General completes a required federal audit, the auditee agency shall, in the manner determined by the Auditor General, remit the cost thereof from federal funds received, whether as part of the original monies or by subsequent reimbursement, up to the maximum amount determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above, for deposit into the General Revenue Fund.
