PURPOSE:
To notify Certified Local Public Agencies (LPAs) that the self-audit form is being revised for 2025 and each agency will receive agency-specific self-audit forms and project lists via email in the next week. Note: Substantive Rev-3 revisions are shown in underline text.
BULLETIN INFORMATION:
Self-Audit and related forms:
In May, the Certification Program Office (CPO) will issue a revised Certified LPA Self-Audit Form (forms 734-5152A & B) for 2025. Revisions to the form are minor and changes to self-audit questions reflect ongoing assessment of risk areas. For 2025, the forms include the following changes:
- Bid let date: For projects with a construction phase, the actual or anticipated bid let date should be included at the top of each project response. The Certification Program Office is requesting the bid let date information to improve project tracking.
- Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and executive compensation updates: Under the Financial Information heading on the Certification Status Report, each agency must verify the listed UEI(s) and confirm the executive compensation reporting status is correct. Consult your agency’s financial department to ensure accurate responses.
- After submittal of the self-audit response, each agency will receive a follow-up request for documentation supporting three to four responses to project-level questions. The follow-up request will identify the projects and supporting documentation requested.
Each Certified LPA will receive a Certification Status Report to review and verify the status of key certification requirements. CPO will send each Certified LPA an agency specific project list and certification status report, as well as a form and an excel template to complete their self-audit. The due date is June 30, 2025.
Resources:
When the 2025 forms are issued, you will find the following resources on the Certification Guidance and Forms webpage, under the Compliance drop down list:
- The self-audit forms (734-5152A (Cities & Counties) and 734-5152B (MPO)), including completed samples.
- Self-Audit Tips and Additional Instructions: This resource is intended to provide tips and more detailed instructions on how to complete the self-audit form. CPO highly recommends reviewing this resource before submitting the self-audit response.
