Acceptable Audit Report Formats

The State Controller’s Office (SCO) will accept reports submitted in the following formats:

• Electronic copy (Unsecured PDF)
• Unbound hard copy

Electronic report files must be in PDF file format and include the independent auditor’s electronic signature. Files must also be unsecured.  The SCO accepts electronic reports via The State Controller’s Office Data Exchange Portal (DEP).

Due to security protocols, the SCO cannot accept report submissions by email. The SCO server may quarantine emailed reports without sending an error notification to the sender or a notice to the recipient.
