FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE AUDIT
The administration of resources awarded by the Alliance of Elder Affairs to the provider may be subject to audits
and /or monitoring by the Alliance of Elder Affairs, as described in this section.
MONITORING
In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with OMB Circular A -133, as revised, and Section
215.97, F.S., (see "AUDITS" below), monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on -site visits by the
Alliance staff, limited scope audits as defined by OMB Circular A -133, as revised, and /or other procedures. By
entering into this agreement, the provider agrees to comply and cooperate with any monitoring
procedures /processes deemed appropriate by the Alliance for Aging. In the event the Alliance for Aging
determines that a limited scope audit of the provider is appropriate, the provider agrees to comply with any
additional instructions provided by the Alliance to the provider regarding such audit. The provider further
agrees to comply and cooperate with any inspections, reviews, investigations, or audits deemed necessary by any
level of government.
AUDITS
PART I: FEDERALLY FUNDED
This part is applicable if the provider is a State or local government or a non -profit organization as defined in OMB
Circular A -133, as revised.
In the event that the provider expends $500,000.00 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year, the provider
must have a single or program - specific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-
133, as revised. EXHIBIT 1 to this agreement indicates Federal resources awarded through the Alliance of Elder
Affairs by this agreement. In determining the Federal awards expended in its fiscal year, the provider shall
consider all sources of Federal awards, including Federal resources received from the Alliance of Elder Affairs. The
determination of amounts of Federal awards expended should be in accordance with the guidelines established by
OMB Circular A -133, as revised. An audit of the provider conducted by the Auditor General in accordance with the
provisions of OMB Circular A -133, as revised, will meet the requirements of this part.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part I, paragraph 1, the provider shall fulfill the
requirements relative to auditee responsibilities as provided in Subpart C of OMB Circular A -133, as revised.
If the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in Federal awards in its fiscal year, an audit conducted in
accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A -133, as revised, is not required. In the event that the provider
expends less than $500,000.00 in Federal awards in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in
accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A -133, as revised, the cost of the audit must be paid from non-
Federal resources (i.e., the cost of such audit must be paid from provider resources obtained from other than
Federal 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 rules, regulations, or statutes referenced in the agreement. 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 Section
.310(b)(2) of OMB Circular A -133, as revised, the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards shall identify

As an Alliance requirement the Statement of Functional Expenses need to be part of the Financial and Compliance

PART II: STATE FUNDED
This part is applicable if the provider is a nonstate entity as defined by Section 215.97(2), Florida Statutes.
In the event that the provider expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to or in excess of
$500,000.00 in any fiscal year of such provider (for fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 or thereafter),
the provider must have a State single or project- specific audit for such fiscal year in accordance with
Section 215.97, Florida Statutes; applicable rules of the Alliance of Financial Services; and Chapters 10.550
(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.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part II, paragraph 1, the provider shall ensure that
the audit complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(8), Florida Statutes. This includes submission of
a financial reporting package as defined by Section 215.97(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550 (local
governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for - profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor General.
If the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year (for fiscal years
ending September 30, 2004 or thereafter), an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section
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
