San Andreas Regional Center
Vendor Audits & Reviews

The San Andreas Regional Center (SARC), headquartered in San Jose, serves people with developmental disabilities across four counties — Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito. Its territory runs from the heart of Silicon Valley to the agricultural Salinas and San Benito valleys and the Santa Cruz coast. Vendors receiving $500,000 or more in SARC funding across the State fiscal year are subject to the WIC §4652.5 independent CPA review or audit requirement.

Do you need a review or an audit?

It depends on how much San Andreas Regional Center funding you receive — not your total revenue from all sources — measured across the State fiscal year (July 1 – June 30):

If you are vendored with more than one regional center, your funding is aggregated across all of them to determine your level. See the full review-vs-audit comparison for what each engagement involves.

Vendors we work with in San Jose and beyond

SARC's four counties hold two very different vendor economies. In Santa Clara County, providers operate in one of the most expensive labor and real-estate markets in the country — day programs, supported and independent living agencies, and ABA providers competing with Silicon Valley wages — which puts the same kind of pressure on the 85/15 program-spending test that we see in San Francisco. In Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties, the base shifts toward residential providers and agencies serving agricultural communities, often bilingual and often covering long distances between consumers. A single SARC vendor frequently spans both worlds, running programs in San Jose and Salinas at once, and the engagement work is making sure high urban costs and rural travel costs are each classified correctly so the report holds together.

Your deadline

Your independent report is due within nine months of your fiscal year-end, and the report plus any management letter must reach San Andreas Regional Center within 30 days of when your CPA issues it. There are no extensions under the statute. Calendar-year vendors (fiscal year-end December 31) have a September 30 deadline the following year — use our deadline calculator to map yours.
