All of the due dates for submitting audits, requesting exemptions from audit, and requesting extensions to file an audit, are outlined in the Local Government Audit Law [Section 29-1-601, et seq., C.R.S.].
Please keep the OSA informed of your current contact information, such as mailing address, phone number, fax number, email address, and website address.
We encourage the use of electronic filing for Audits, Applications for Exemption From Audit, and Requests for Extension of Time to File an Audit.
The OSA's Local Government Audit Division tracks about 4,000 Colorado local governments for compliance with the Local Government Audit Law [Section 29-1-601, et seq., C.R.S.], which requires submission of an annual independent financial audit to the State Auditor.
Please contact us with any questions you have about the Local Government Audit Law or how the law's requirements may apply to your local government.
The OSA has established itself as a leader among its peers in other states and is an active contributor to the government auditing profession and accountability community through participation in organizations such as the National State Auditors Association (NSAA) and the National Legislative Program Evaluation Society (NLPES), which is a staff section of the National Conference of State Legislatures. The OSA continues to produce award-winning work, as recognized by NSAA, NLPES, and other organizations.
The State Auditor is a constitutionally established position within Colorado's Legislative Branch. The General Assembly appoints the State Auditor, without regard to political affiliation, to serve a 5-year term. The State Auditor must be a Certified Public Accountant licensed to practice in Colorado.
