( Statutory Authority: Education Code Sections 14502.1, 41344 and 41344.1.)
The Education Audit Appeals Panel (EAAP) serves as the neutral arbiter in informal and formal administrative appeals by K-12 local education agencies. EAAP adopts as regulations, according to a statutory timetable, the audit guide used in those annual audits.
2024-25 Audit Guide
At its May 20, 2024, meeting, the Education Audit Appeals Panel adopted a set of emergency regulations to amend the audit guide and directed staff to begin the regular rulemaking process leading to eventual adoption, following public comment, of the same amendments as permanent regulations. These changes will be effective as of July 1, 2024, for the annual audits, required by Education Code Section 41020, for the 2024-25 fiscal year.
EAAP is providing notice of the proposed readoption of emergency regulations, and of the opportunity to make written comments regarding the proposed changes to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) and simultaneously to EAAP. On December 5, 2024, the Notice, providing information on the public comment process; the Finding of Emergency, which includes an Informative Digest giving a description of the proposed changes; and the text of the proposed regulations were posted on our website and emailed to all those who have requested notification of EAAP regulations.
