The State’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The State’s financial statements include the operations of OneStar National Service Commission, Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool, Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc., Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, and Teacher Retirement System of Texas (the component units of the State), which received approximately $134 million in federal awards which is not included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended August 31, 2013. Our audit, described below, did not include the operations of the component units of the State because each of those component units has engaged other auditors to perform an audit in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, if applicable. Management’s Responsibility Management of the State Agencies and Universities is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the State’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We did not audit the State’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Student Financial Assistance Cluster, Research and Development Cluster, CFDA 10.500-Cooperative Extension Service, CFDA 66.458-Capitalization Grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds, CFDA 66.468-Capitalization Grants for Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, CFDA 97.036-Disaster Grants- Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), CFDA 97.046-Fire Management Assistance Grant, 97.067- Homeland Security Grant Program, and the Highway Planning and Construction Cluster major federal programs (the other auditor major federal programs) which represent approximately 18% of total federal assistance received by the State for the year ended August 31, 2013. The other auditor’s major federal programs are identified in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as major federal programs and were audited by another auditor whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the other auditor’s major federal programs is based solely on the reports of the other auditor. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about 2 KPMG LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership, the U.S. member firm of KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. the State’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the State’s compliance.
