Note A – Single Audit Requirements In July 1996, the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (1996 Act) were enacted and superseded the Single Audit Act of 1984. In June 1997 OMB issued a revised Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non Profit Organizations, to implement the changes from the 1996 Act and to rescind Circular A-128. On 06/27/2003 OMB Circular A-133 was revised for fiscal years ending 12/31/2003 and forward. For 2015 and forward OMB Circular A-133 has been superseded in its entirety by OMB’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) which changes the single audit threshold to $750,000. The funds used to account for these funds use the accrual basis of accounting. 1.)
