Effective February 20, 2009, education trailer bill Senate Bill 4 of the 2009-10 Third Extraordinary Session (SBX3 4; Chapter 12, Statutes 2009) was enacted. SBX3 4 made significant changes in law, some of which impact the conduct of audits for the 2008-09 fiscal year. The bill was enacted too late for EAAP to promulgate supplementary regulations to incorporate the changes into the Audit Guide before March 1.
On April 15, 2009, the State Controller’s Office issued an advisory – http://www.sco.ca.gov/pubs_guides_lea.html. Click the Fiscal Year 2008 – 09 link under the heading “Local Educational Agency Guide Advisory.”
Revised 2008-09 Audit Guide: EAAP incorporated 2008-09 changes in the updated regulations for 2009-10, so that the 2008-09 audit guide was revised effective June 29, 2009. These changes were explained in the Informative Digest included in the Finding of Emergency for the 2009-10 emergency regulations: · removed four programs (§§ 19821, 19822, 19827, and 19838), · reduced procedures for one program (§ 19828.3), · reduced penalties for non-compliance in another program (new § 19845.2), · limited one program to fiscal year 2008-09 (§ 19837.2), · amended one section to conform to statute (subparagraph (b)(4) of § 19846 now says “six hours a week or three days a week” instead of ‘hours and days’).
Additionally, the number of procedures for Community Day Schools was reduced from 9 to 3 in Section 19816(f)(6), but the corresponding amendment of Section 19825 was inadvertently omitted from the regulations proposals. As stated in the State Controller advisory referenced above, it is not necessary for audits of fiscal year 2008-09 to perform the procedures in subparagraphs (e) and (g) – or to make the consequent findings specified in subparagraphs (f) and (h) of Section 19825.
At its July 28, 2008, meeting, the Panel adopted final permanent regulations for the 2008-09 audit guide. The Office of Administrative Law approved the permanent regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State on September 9, 2008.

Annual Update The Education Audit Appeals Panel took action at its September 18, 2006, meeting to finalize changes to the annual audit guide for fiscal year 2006-07. The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the permanent regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State on September 29, 2006.
At its January 29, 2007, meeting, the Panel adopted nonsubstantive amendments to four sections of the audit guide. Sections 19851 and 19852 direct auditors to verify compliance with various requirements of the Education Code that pertain to offering independent study (“nonclassroom-based instruction”) in lieu of classroom attendance, in charter schools. For clarity, the title of Section 19852 was amended from “Additional Nonclassroom-Based Instruction” to “Mode of Instruction”; and the order of sections 19851 and 19852 was reversed. Because “nonclassroom-based instruction” is defined as instruction that does not meet the requirements specified as a condition of apportionment for “classroom-based instruction” (Education Section 47612.5(e)(1), (2)), the determination must first be made whether the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) reported as having been generated through classroom-based instruction met the statutory requirements for that classification, and then any ADA reported as classroom-based but not meeting applicable requirements, as well as that reported as nonclassroom-based, can be evaluated for compliance with requirements for nonclassroom-based instruction. Conforming changes were made in subdivision (f)(4) of Section 19816, and in the first sentence of Section 19853. OAL approved the nonsubstantive amendments and filed them with the Secretary of State on March 1, 2007.
The booklet, Standards and Procedures for Audits of California K-12 Local Educational Agencies 2006-07, which constitutes the audit guide to be used in the performance of the audits required by Education Code Section 41020 for the 2006-07 fiscal year, includes Appendix A, Federal Compliance Requirements, with links to the 2006 OMB Circular A133 Compliance Supplement, and Appendix B, Agency Addresses and Contacts. The nonsubstantive amendments described above were made to the booklet.

In addition to nonsubstantial amendments to sections 19851 and 19853 with regard to charter schools’ pupil-to-teacher ratio options in nonclassroom-based instruction, these regulations included other nonsubstantial changes to the emergency supplemental regulations that had been in effect since February 17, 2006, to clarify the applicability of the components of the audit guide regulations to audits of charter schools.
