Another of Assemblyman Hevesi’s bills unanimously passed the Assembly on June 19th of the 2014 legislative session. Assembly bill A.9090 would allow state agencies the ability to view municipalities single audit filings electronically, in compliance with the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, which will reduce burdens on local government entities. All local government entities that receive federal dollars in excess of an aggregate sum of $500,000 annually, must file a single audit with the federal Clearinghouse and appropriate state agencies. Currently, local government entities must file with the federal government, and then individually with each state agency that acted for a related purpose. The majority of localities required to file these audits receive an assortment of smaller grants adding up to $500,000 for a variety of purposes, and they are therefore required to file multiple documents with various state agencies. The federal clearinghouse, allows entities filing an audit to designate other authorized users of their documents. This legislation would require municipalities to designate the state agencies that they would be filing their audits with in addition to their submission to the federal clearinghouse as authorized viewers to satisfy their state filing requirements electronically. This simple change will improve government efficiency by saving municipalities and local governments time, staff resources, and money.
