Similarly, any audit of the TRS Fund Administrator may be conducted pursuant to GAAS.

First, we amend section 54.717 of our rules to give the OIG oversight of the annual USAC audit. Section 54.717 of the Commission's rules requires USAC ``to obtain and pay for an annual audit conducted by an independent auditor to examine its operations and books of account to determine, among other things, whether [USAC] is properly administering the universal service support mechanisms to prevent fraud,

For example, audits conducted of beneficiaries of the schools and libraries support mechanism pursuant to section 54.516 of the Commission's rules must follow GAGAS. In contrast, audits conducted of the Administrators may be conducted according to generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). For example, the required audit of the Universal Service Fund Administrator pursuant to section 54.717 of the Commission's rules may continue to be conducted according to GAAS. Similarly, any audit of the TRS Fund Administrator may be conducted pursuant to GAAS. Because the TRS Fund will be audited as a component of the Commission's financial statements, we find that the yearly audit of the TRS Fund pursuant to section 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(D) is no longer necessary, and

First, we amend section 54.717 of our rules to give the OIG oversight of the annual USAC audit.
