SB 992Session 20252026SenateBecame law

County auditors: special districts: annual audit exceptions.

Existing law requires a county auditor to make or contract with a certified public accountant or public accountant to make an annual audit of the accounts and records of every special district within the county for which an audit is not otherwise provided, as specified. Existing law authorizes a special district to replace this annual audit with a financial review, or, until January 1, 2027, an agreed-upon procedures engagement or an annual financial compilation of the special district, if specified conditions are met, including that the special district's annual revenues do not exceed $150,000. Until January 1, 2027, upon receipt of the financial review, agreed-upon procedures engagement, or financial compilation, existing law authorizes a county auditor to appoint a certified public accountant or a public accountant to conduct an audit of the special district, as specified. Existing law prohibits a special district from replacing the annual audit requirement with an annual financial compilation for more than 5 consecutive years, after which existing law requires the special district to use specified procedures. This bill would extend the January 1, 2027, repeal date referenced above to January 1, 2037, and would increase the revenue cap described above to $250,000. After replacing the annual audit requirement with an annual financial compilation for 5 years, the bill would authorize a special district with annual revenues of less than $50,000 to replace the annual audit with a financial review, as described above.
