From the state auditor’s office today:

State Auditor Leslie Merritt announced today that the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) has expanded its financial audit follow-up procedures to include investigative reviews, grant reviews and performance audits issued by the OSA.


?The public often asks about particular investigations or grant reviews and whether OSA?s recommendations are being followed,? said State Auditor Leslie Merritt. ?Our expanded follow-up initiative will give the public the facts they need to determine which auditees have followed OSA recommendations and which have not,? Auditor Merritt continued. 


The expanded follow-up initiative entails sending auditees a form which lists findings and recommendations from a prior audit or report. OSA asks the auditee to provide information detailing any progress made to comply with the report?s recommendations. OSA also asks that where appropriate the auditee submit any documentation necessary to support their claims.
