    Sec. 5. The audit report shall contain statements that conform with generally accepted accounting principles and that set forth, insofar as possible, the financial position and results of financial operations for each fund of the governmental unit. Each audit report shall include only financial information, findings and conclusions that are adequately supported by evidence in the auditor's working papers to demonstrate or prove, when called upon, the basis for the matters reported and their correctness and reasonableness. In connection with this, each governmental unit shall retain the right of inspection of the auditor's working papers and shall make them available to the Comptroller, or his designee, upon request. The audit report shall also include the professional opinion of the licensed public accountant with respect to the financial statements or, if an opinion cannot be expressed, a declaration that he is unable to express such opinion and an explanation of the reasons he cannot do so. Each audit report shall include the certification of the accountant or accountants making the audit that the audit has been performed in compliance with generally accepted auditing standards.
