Welcome to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Local Government Reporting System

The Local Government Reporting System, also known as the CPA Portal, provides an online system for CPAs to submit reports and other required documents for local government entities.  The use of this system is mandatory for all reports that the CPA is required to submit to the LLA.

To begin using the system, login using the Login link at the top right corner of the screen. If you do not see the engagement information for a report you are trying to submit, that means that there is not an approved engagement request on file.  Please complete an Engagement Approval Form.

Engagement submission questions should be sent to eengage@lla.la.gov.  Report submission questions, including resubmissions, should be sent to ereports@lla.la.gov.
