Beginning with the 2023 Report of Elected and Appointed Officials (DCED-CLGS-18 for counties, DCED-CLGS-19 for municipalities), we will collect the following information: Property Insurance Carrier Name and Coverage Limit and Liability Insurance Carrier Name and Coverage Limit. Please note this is referring to the county and municipality itself- NOT each individual official. The 2023 Report of Elected and Appointed Officials will be available to access after January 1, 2023.  

The Chart of Accounts code for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) revenue is 352.53. Since this line does not appear on the Annual Audit and Financial Report (Audit), please report ARPA revenue on line 352.00 (All Other Federal Shared Revenue and Entitlements) when completing the Audit.
  

For elected auditors looking for guidance on how to perform the municipal audit, please refer to the Auditor's Guide:

If your municipality's pension is managed by PMRS and you have not received your 2021 statement, DCED recommends that you omit all pension data in the Trust and Agency Fund on the 2022 Annual Audit and Financial Report (Audit). Please add the following e-filer note: "Pension data has been omitted from the Trust and Agency Fund, due to lack of timely pension data from PMRS". Once you obtain the 2021 pension data, please contact DCED to amend your 2022 Audit.
