In 1979, IDOT
and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) requiring the department to provide an audit program to
monitor the expenditure of federal funds on FHWA projects. [FHWA
MOU

In order to
provide financial integrity and to assist in achieving an effective ,
efficient, and economical administration of funds, IDOT issued Departmental
Order 7-1. [dept. Order 7-1
pdf file]. This order officially
established the Audit Section as the authority for providing an audit
program for the entire department.
The Audit
Section’s Statement of Purpose, Authority and Responsibility provides the
original framework upon which the Audit Section’s current program of audit
coverage is based. [file

Each year the
Chief of Audits provides the Secretary of IDOT with a comprehensive audit
program reporting the prior year’s accomplishments and planned audit
coverage for the subsequent fiscal year. [FY2005-
FY 2006 Annual Audit Plan ].
