How common are single audit findings among South Carolina nonprofits?
Each row counts one report per organization for that audit year, nonprofit auditees only. A rate is shown as a count over its denominator because a percentage on its own cannot be checked.

How we computed this
Counts come from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, one report per organization and audit year, nonprofit auditees only, for South Carolina. A resubmission supersedes the filing it replaces rather than being counted twice. An audit year with fewer than 100 nonprofit reports is not published.
