WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The California State Lottery is seeking an independent certified public accounting firm to serve as its single audit contractor for financial auditing and related services. Government Code section 8880.46.5 requires the Lottery director to engage an independent CPA firm to audit all Lottery accounts and transactions annually, with audited financial statements presented to the Lottery Commission, Governor, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General and Legislature within 120 days of fiscal year end and the auditor's report posted online. The contractor prepares the annual audit report under AICPA generally accepted auditing standards and GASB Statement No. 34, including a study and evaluation of the Lottery's internal control system, and issues an opinion on whether the financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
