The Bureau announces the release of
State of Wisconsin FY 2022-23 Single Audit
(report 24-3).
In FY 2022-23, state agencies administered $19.8 billion in federal financial assistance, including $3.8 billion that was expended related to the public health emergency and that was separately identified in the State’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Our audit focused on 22 federal programs that accounted for 61.2 percent of the federal financial assistance administered. We found that state agencies generally complied with federal requirements, and we provided an unmodified opinion on federal compliance for 16 of the programs we reviewed. However, we qualified our opinion on compliance related to certain requirements for 6 programs we reviewed, including for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program administered by DOA for which we qualified our opinion on compliance for a third year. We made 60 recommendations to improve the administration of federal programs and to address the internal control deficiencies we identified related to financial reporting. We questioned $13.0 million in costs that state agencies charged inappropriately to federal funds. The federal government will work with state agencies to resolve the concerns we identified.
