1. Each state agency which is awarded a federal grant, a condition of which is the requirement that an audit be conducted to ensure compliance with federal regulations, shall arrange with the Legislative Auditor for the conducting of the audit and remit to the Legislative Auditor, upon the Legislative Auditor’s request, a sum fixed by the Legislative Auditor which approximates the cost of the audit. That amount may later be adjusted to the actual cost of the audit. The amount of the cost of the audit which the state agency does not contribute must be paid from the Audit Contingency Account which is hereby created in the Legislative Fund.

That cost may later be adjusted to the actual cost of the audit. The costs of the single audit may be included in the statewide cost allocation plan prepared pursuant to NRS 353.331 .
