Audits

On January 4, 2012, we issued a quality control report on a single audit performed by Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, LLP, on the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's (MARTA) use of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) grants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.  During this period, MARTA expended approximately $131million from DOT grant programs.  The major programs tested by Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, LLP included the Federal Transit Cluster and Clean Fuel Bus Project Grants.  We determined the work of Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, LLP to be acceptable with deficiencies and therefore it generally met the requirements of generally accepted Government auditing standards, the Act, and OMB Circular A-133.  We found nothing to indicate that Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, LLP s opinion MARTA's financial statements or reports on MARTA's internal controls and compliance were inappropriate or unreliable.
