For fiscal years beginning October 1, 1985 and through September 30, 2011, biennial audits of state departments and agencies shall be performed for purposes of complying with the requirements of 31 USC 7501 to 7507 pertaining to audit evaluation of the internal controls of this state and the state’s compliance with material features of laws and regulations related to major federal assistance programs. For fiscal years beginning October 1, 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter, an annual statewide single audit shall be performed for purposes of complying with the requirements of 31 USC 7501 to 7507 pertaining to audit evaluation of the internal controls of this state and the state’s compliance with material features of laws and regulations related to major federal assistance programs.
