Fiscal note

Can’t be estimated Compare with other bills

Senate File 478 may impact the scope of an audit performed by the AOS, which may impact the State’s ability to comply with federal award requirements. A major federal program that loses its low-risk determination as a result of the AOS disclaiming its opinion will need to be audited each audit period. An increase in audit frequency could increase costs to the State; however, the fiscal impact cannot be determined.
