BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


More Stringent Revenue Sharing Act

Requirements Are Upgrading State And

Local Governments' Audits



The amended Revenue Sharing Act and the
Office of Revenue Sharing's quality control
efforts are benefiting State and local govern-
ments by requiring State audit agencies and
public accounting firms to upgrade their audit-
ing standards. Some governments will receive
their first independent audits while others are
taking steps to improve their financial account-
ing systems.

Due to the time required to revamp their audit
operations, some State agencies with sub-
standard audit practices will not be able to
complete acceptable audits in a timely man-
ner. GAO therefore recommends that the Con-
gress amend the Revenue Sharing Act to pro-
vide waivers to governments audited by these
State audit agencies.

GAO also recommends that the Secretary of
the Treasury take steps to improve the Office
of Revenue Sharing's statistical control sys-
tem for the 11,000 audits required by the act.
