distributions, and in the case of an adult high school (as defined in IC 20-24-1-2.3), funding provided in the state biennial budget for adult
high schools, for all the charter schools the organizer operates. After

defined in IC 20-24-1-2.3), funding provided in the state biennial

by the state examiner and submit any required financial reporting to the
department in a manner prescribed by the state examiner. The state

requirements for organizers under this section that are consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the needs of the
department. A consolidated audit must include a breakdown of the
activities, financial position, and functional expenses for each charter
school.
