The QAB's audit coordination responsibilities include tracking the activities of various auditing entities, monitoring potential auditor independence issues and following up on findings. The most significant of these outside reviews is the Commonwealth's Statewide Single Audit (SSA). The SSA is an annual comprehensive review, by fiscal year, of the Commonwealth's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of internal controls and compliance with federal grant regulations. The Office of the Comptroller procures audit services for, and directs the operation of, the SSA. As part of its coordination responsibilities, QAB represents the Comptroller at Single Audit entrance and exit conference meetings with departments. Departments that receive notice of a program or other department specific audit, other than the SSA, should in turn notify QAB of same.
