Submission of Federal Single Audits (A-133)
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 states that entities that expend $500,000 or more in a year in Federal funds are required to have an A-133 audit. An A-133 audit examines compliance with the regulations governing the use of the funds. The Office of Audit Services (OAS) determines if the A-133 audit conforms to the Circular, reviews all findings, and issues a management decision on the validity of the findings. For more information on A-133 audits, please go to the Circular at OMB Circular A-133
