Audit Evaluation Forms
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is required by the federal government to determine which sub-grantees of federal funds are subject to federal audit requirements. ADE requires all entities that receive federal funds passed-through ADE to complete an annual Audit Evaluation form. The completed form must be returned to the ADE Audit Unit no later than December 1, 2011. It is imperative that ALL federal funds expended by your agency be listed, regardless of whether those funds are received through ADE or another sourceThe Audit Evaluation must be completed by all entities regardless of amount of federal money expended. Those entities that expend $500,000 or more in federal funds during the previous fiscal year must undergo an OMB A-133 Single Audit. If no federal funding was received during the fiscal year in question, entities are still required to complete the evaluation and indicate “No Federal funds expended during previous fiscal year.” Once completed, return to ADE Audit Unit by email audits@azed.gov or by mail. Full explanation and instructions are included in the downloads on this web page.
