Census FAC News
If you have tried to look up a prior single audit on the Census FAC Web site recently, you may have received an error message. This is because Census is in the process of adding a new auto-redirect page which will allow users navigating to the Census FAC Web page (https://facweb.census.gov/) a choice to (1) go to the Census FAC Image Management System (IMS) to search for prior submissions; or (2) be redirected to the new GSA FAC home page. This situation has been resolved. You may also want to bookmark the following direct link to access the Census FAC IMS: https://facdissem.census.gov/Main.aspx.
