Are annual audits required for regional commissions?

The provisions of O.C.G.A. §50-8-38 require annual audit reports of regional commissions to be submitted to the DOAA.

When should the annual audits be submitted to the DOAA?

Annual audit reports should be submitted within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year of the regional commissions as required by the provisions of O.C.G.A. §50-8-38.

Are extensions of time available to submit annual audit reports to the DOAA?

Yes, if eligible. Extensions of an additional period of 180 days may be granted if the regional commission sends a request and is eligible. The provisions of O.C.G.A. §50-8-38 authorizes the DOAA to grant extensions for two successive years to the same regional commission.

Please submit an email to locgov@audits.ga.gov and the extension request will be processed. Eligibility status will be determined as part of the analysis.
