  D. Audit Compliance Questionnaire
   
Attached is the Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire that is to be completed by you or your staff.  This questionnaire is a required part of a financial audit of Louisiana charter schools.  The completed and signed questionnaire must be presented to and adopted by the governing body of your organization in an open meeting.

 

The completed and signed questionnaire and a copy of the adoption instrument must be given to the auditor at the beginning of the audit.  The auditor will, during the course of his/her regular audit, test the accuracy of the responses in the questionnaire.  It is not necessary to return the questionnaire to the Legislative Auditor’s office.

 

Certain portions of the questionnaire may not be applicable to your organization.  In such cases, it is appropriate to mark the representation "not applicable."  However, you must respond to each applicable representation.  A 'yes' answer indicates that you have complied with the applicable law or regulation.  A 'no' answer to any representation indicates a possible violation of law or regulation and, as such, should be fully explained.  These matters will be reviewed by the auditor during the course of his/her audit. Please feel free to attach a further explanation of any representation.
