fiscal year. Compliance findings related to agreements with the Alliance of Elder Affairs shall be based on the
agreement's requirements, including any rules, regulations, or statutes referenced in the agreement. The financial

(local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for - profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor
General. EXHIBIT I to this agreement indicates state financial assistance awarded through the Alliance of
Elder Affairs by this agreement. In determining the state financial assistance expended in its fiscal year,
the provider shall consider all sources of state financial assistance, including state financial assistance
received from the Alliance of Elder Affairs, other state agencies, and other nonstate entities. State
financial assistance does not include Federal direct or pass- through awards and resources received by a
nonstate entity for Federal program matching requirements.

215.97, Florida Statutes, is not required. In the event that the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in
state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from the nonstate entity's
resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the provider resources obtained from other than
State entities).
An audit conducted in accordance with this part shall cover the entire organization for the
organization's fiscal year. Compliance findings related to agreements with the Alliance of Elder Affairs
shall be based on the agreement's requirements, including any applicable rules, regulations, or statutes.
The financial statements shall disclose whether or not the matching requirement was met for each
applicable agreement. All questioned costs and liabilities due to the Alliance of Elder Affairs shall be fully
disclosed in the audit report with reference to the Alliance of Elder Affairs agreement involved. If not
otherwise disclosed as required by Rule 691 - 5.003, Fla. Admin. Code, the schedule of expenditures of state
financial assistance shall identify expenditures by agreement number for each agreement with the Alliance
of Elder Affairs in effect during the audit period. Financial reporting packages required under this part

provider's fiscal year end for local governmental entities. Non - profit or for - profit organizations are
required to be submitted within 45 days after delivery of the audit report, but no later than 9 months after

8.Where there is a significant variation between the race, sex or ethnic composition of the clients and their
availability in the population, the program /facility has the responsibility to determine the reasons for
such
variation and take whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate
disparities may exist when programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or
disabled persons, 45 CFR 80.3 (b) (6).
9. Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of
services or employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions
