Late Audit Notification - Responses and Appeals

All units of local government and public authorities in North Carolina are required by G.S. 159-34(a) to have their accounts audited annually and to submit the audit report to the Secretary of the Local Government Commission (LGC). North Carolina Session Law 2023-59 modified G.S. 159-34 to allow the LGC to direct the withholding of a portion of sales tax distributions for counties and municipalities that fail to complete their annual audit within 12 months of fiscal year end. The law also establishes a process for units to appeal this action.

Please see more information on the audit requirement, the requirements and provisions of Session Law 2023-59, and other important details on this webpage. For questions on late audit notices or the appeal process, please contact LGCNotifications@nctreasurer.com.
