In response to COVID-19, the Auditor of State’s Office (AOS) has compiled resources to help clients navigate the requirements and availability of fiscal assistance and guidance. The information has been added to the AOS website providing our clients and partners with many of the necessary resources to help you maintain continuity and manage the accounting implications of your respective coronavirus responses, while continuing to stay safe and healthy.

 

These resources include, but are not limited to:

  • A list of Federal programs for which new or increased federal financial assistance, flexibilities, and waivers are available to state agencies or local governments in Ohio (see the CARES Act and Federal Assistance Spreadsheet link)
  • Deadline extensions across Federal, State, and other organizations (see Deadline Extension link)
  • AOS answers to frequently asked questions
  • Financial reporting considerations for state and local government management
  • Free virtual learning opportunities for state and local governments
