In reply to William Berthon.

Different journals might have different requirements, but I'd start with the following:

For the exact method, report that you used PROC FREQ in SAS to run an exact test for the chi-square test of independence and that the (exact) p-value was XYZ. Yes, the chi-square and DF values are relevant to the exact test.

For the Monte Carlo option, report the seed value and the number of MC simulations along with the empirical p-value from the simulation.
