Audited financial data should be used by all authorities that have a financial audit of their accounting records for the fiscal year being reported.

An authority's failure to submit the Annual Authority Registration and Financial Report to the Department of Community Affairs for any of the three most recently completed fiscal years will result in the withholding of Department funds from that authority until the Department receives the authority's delinquent reports. Authorities with delinquent status will be published on the Department's website.Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 110-3-4-.04
