Reporting Phase
This is the final phase of the audit. This phase includes two key components: technical review of the draft report and the formal written management response to the final draft report.
Technical review
During the technical review, the agency receives the draft audit report and reviews it for factual accuracy and tone.
Management response
For State Auditor performance audits, the management response is a joint response from the audited executive branch agencies and the Office of Financial Management or the Office of the Chief Information Officer, depending on the content. The managment response also includes an action plan if recommendations are made by the auditor. Progress on action steps in the management response are tracked and published until they are completed.
