(a) The authority shall require any provider agency that dispensed shelter or assistance for any homeless facility or any other program for the homeless authorized by this part to submit to the authority a financial audit and report on an annual basis conducted by a certified public accounting firm. This audit and report shall contain information specific to the funds received under state homeless program contracts. The audit shall include recommendations to address any problems found.
(b) Continuing contracts with provider agencies to participate in any program for the homeless authorized by this part shall require that the provider agency address the recommendations made by the auditing agency, subject to exceptions as set by the authority.
