The current annual audit threshold applies to special districts with year-ends of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, March 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024. A few special districts have different fiscal year-ends than those listed.
The Office of the State Auditor has developed minimum procedures and a reporting format for Agreed-Upon Procedures engagements of cities and towns that have combined the offices of clerk and treasurer, and special districts, with annual revenues less than the audit threshold. Please visit the OSA's Agreed-Upon Procedures for Cities, Towns and Special Districts webpage for the minimum procedures and reporting format.
