Beginning June 30, 2009, electronic filing of school district audit packages is mandatory. This includes Intermediate School Districts (ISDs), Local Education Agencies (LEAs), and Public School Academies (PSAs). Electronic filing remains optional for non-school districts. For those non-school districts that do not sumbit electronically, the audit package must be mailed to: Michigan Department of Education, Office of Audits, 608 West Allegan, Post Office Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909.
To submit electronically, the following criteria must be followed:
-
All audit submissions must be e-mailed to
MDE-FinAudit@michigan.gov.
The subject line must read audited financial statements and include the school district code. This will generate an automatic response.
-
The audits must be in .pdf format to open exactly as they would look if they were printed. All documents should be from an electronic source. Please do not scan documents.
-
As always, no drafts will be accepted. All documents must be final, signed versions. In the case of the Data Collection Form, the electronically certified signature is acceptable.
-
All documents must be in one file (the same format as the Department of Treasury). The file should be in the following order: Financial Statements, Single Audit (if required), Management Letter, Corrective Action Plan (unless included in the Single Audit), Any other letters (i.e., Governance).
-
The file should be named with the five digit district code and then a two letter abbreviation code (i.e., 01010FS):
-
The Data Collection Form (Archived version only - NO Drafts) should be submitted as a separate document and be named with the district code (i.e., 01010DC).
The MDE, Office of Audits reserves the right to request a hard copy of the audit package, if for any reason; the electronic submission process is not successful.
If you have questions, please contact Gloria Suggitt, Single Audit Coordinator, at 517.373.4591 or suggittg@michigan.gov
