[§356D-131]  Annual performance audits. 
(a)  The authority shall require any provider agency that dispensed shelter or
assistance for any homeless facility or any other program for the homeless
authorized by this part to submit to the authority a financial audit and report
on an annual basis conducted by a certified public accounting firm.  This audit
and report shall contain information specific to the funds received under state
homeless program contracts.  The audit shall include recommendations to address
any problems found.



(b)  Continuing contracts with provider
agencies to participate in any program for the homeless authorized by this part
shall require that the provider agency address the recommendations made by the
auditing agency, subject to exceptions as set by the authority.



(c)  Failure to carry out the recommendations

agency from further contracts for programs authorized by this part until the
barred provider has addressed all deficiencies. [L 2006, c 180, pt of §2]
