    (15 ILCS 405/19.5)
    Sec. 19.5. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR);
procedures and reporting.
    (a) On or before October 31, 2012, and on or before each
October 31 thereafter, State agencies shall report to the
Comptroller all financial information deemed necessary by the
Comptroller to compile and publish a comprehensive annual
financial report using generally accepted accounting
principles for the fiscal year ending June 30 of that year. The
Comptroller may require certain State agencies to submit the
required information before October 31 under a schedule
established by the Comptroller. If a State agency has submitted
no or insufficient financial information by October 31, the
Comptroller shall serve a written notice to each respective
State agency director or secretary about the delinquency or
inadequacy of the financial information.
    (b) If the financial information required in subsection (a)
is submitted to the Comptroller on or before October 31, the
lapse period is not extended past August 31 for the given
fiscal year, and the Office of the Auditor General has
completed an audit of the comprehensive annual financial report
and that information has been audited by the Auditor General,
then the Comptroller shall publish a comprehensive annual
financial report using generally accepted accounting
principles for the fiscal year ending June 30 of that year by
December 31. If the information as required by subsection (a)
is not provided to the Comptroller in time to publish the
report by December 31, then upon notice from the Comptroller of
the delay, each respective State agency director or secretary
shall report his or her State agency's delinquency and provide
an action plan to bring his or her State agency into compliance
to the Comptroller, the Auditor General, the Office of the
Governor, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives, and the President and Minority Leader of the
Senate. Upon receiving that report from a State agency director
or secretary, the Comptroller shall post that report with the
action plan on his or her official website.
    (c) If a comprehensive annual financial report using
generally accepted accounting principles cannot be published
by December 31 due to insufficient or inadequate reporting to
the Comptroller, the lapse period is extended past August 31
for the given fiscal year, or if the Office of the Auditor
General has not completed an audit of the comprehensive annual
financial report, then the Comptroller may issue interim
reports containing financial information made available by
reporting State agencies until an audit opinion is issued by
the Auditor General on the comprehensive annual financial
report.
