Financial Reports

  • Audit of Non-Profits Single Audit: Organizations that spend $750,000 or more in a given year in total federal funds are required to have an independent audit conducted for compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, “Audit Requirements.” The “Single Audit Report” is the end result of this audit, and provides an independent opinion on how the RF administers and spends federal funds.
