Florida Statutes: <br />334.044(7) <br />i. In the event that the Recipient expends a total amount of state financial <br />assistance equal to or in excess of the threshold established by Section <br />215.97, Florida Statutes, in any fiscal year of the Recipient, the Recipient <br />must have a State single or project -specific audit for such fiscal year in <br />accordance with Section 215.97, Florida Statutes; applicable rules of the <br />Department of Financial Services; and Chapters 10.550 (local governmental <br />entities) or 10.650 (non-profit and for-profit organizations), Rules of the <br />Auditor General. Exhibit "C" to this Agreement provides the specific state <br />financial assistance information awarded through the Department by this <br />Agreement needed by the Recipient to further comply with the requirements <br />of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes. In determining the state financial <br />assistance expended in a fiscal year, the Recipient shall consider all sources <br />of state financial assistance, including state financial assistance received <br />from the Department, other state agencies, and other non -state entities. <br />State financial assistance does not include Federal direct or pass-through <br />awards and resources received by a non -state entity for Federal program <br />matching requirements. <br />ii. In connection with the audit requirements, the Recipient shall ensure that <br />the audit complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(8), Florida <br />Statutes. This includes submission of a financial reporting package as <br />defined by Section 215.97(2)(e), Florida Statutes, and Chapters 10.550 <br />(local government entities) or 10.650 (non-profit and for-profit <br />organizations), Rules of the Auditor General. <br />iii. If the Recipient expends less than the threshold established by Section <br />215.97, Florida Statutes, in state financial assistance in a fiscal year, an audit <br />conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97, Florida <br />Statutes, is not required; however, the Recipient must provide to the <br />Department a certification of exemption to <br />FDOTSingleAuditnr dot.state.fl.us no later than 9 months after the end of <br />the Recipient's fiscal year for each applicable audit year. In the event that <br />the Recipient expends less than the threshold established by Section 215.97, <br />Florida Statutes, in state financial assistance in a fiscal year and elects to <br />have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section <br />215.97, Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from the <br />Recipient's resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the <br />Recipient's resources obtained from other than State entities). <br />
