Reports and Invoices

Submitting Reports

Upon completion of an engagement, the IPA will issue the reports and provide one PDF file each for the Report and the Management Letter, if applicable, to the Auditor of State by email to IPAreport .

Resources and guidance required when submitting audit reports are maintained in the IPA Portal.

Note: The IPA must approve the Client Recipient List via the IPA Portal before submitting the Report. The Report is not considered “submitted” until all required information is received by AOS at the above email.

Approval of IPA Invoices

For all projects, follow these instructions for invoices:

• The automated electronic invoicing system via the IPA Portal must be used to obtain Auditor of State approval before payment by the public office (i.e., the client).
• Upon AOS approval, the submitting partner and the client’s contact person will receive a Notification of Approved Invoice email.
  • The firm may include the AOS Notification email with an invoice if additional detail is required or if the client does not have email access.
  • OR
  • The client may use the Notification of Approved Invoice email as the official invoice to pay the IPA firm.
