AHCCCS has established various processes for identifying members with other health insurance, helping to ensure that other responsible parties first pay for a member's medical costs, and/or recovering monies from other liable parties. However, AHCCCS can implement additional oversight procedures and use federal data to further help ensure it pays for medical costs only after other responsible parties have first paid their share. Further, AHCCCS should establish an additional oversight procedure of its post-payment recovery contractor, document decisions to accept less than the recommended settlement amount, and seek additional data-sharing agreements to enhance its recoveries. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Arizona_Health_Care_Cost_Containment_System/Performance/12-01/pa12-01.htm Performance Audit 114AA454-1143-4329-A642-3D904EA13387 Fri, 6 Apr 2012 09:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Department of Economic Security—Division of Children, Youth and Families—Child Protective Services—In-Home Services Program. The Division can strengthen its in-home services program by taking steps to further support in-home services contractors' use of evidence-based practices, which are interventions, programs, or treatments that have been established as effective through scientific research. Despite providing a wide array of services to help families, the impact of the Division's in-home services program is mixed. Literature indicates that providing services that are evidence-based may yield better results. Therefore, the Division should take additional steps to incorporate these practices in its in-home services program. These steps include communicating its intent that services be evidence-based and making it a requirement in the next in-home services contract solicitation, developing well-defined criteria for identifying evidence-based practices, maintaining an updated listing of these practices, and monitoring its contractors to ensure that they are implementing evidence-based practices as designed. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Arizona_Health_Care_Cost_Containment_System/Performance/12-01/pa12-01.htm Performance Audit E92541FD-4707-45D6-B68E-16FB5841101F Fri, 6 Apr 2012 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the single audit report and corresponding financial & single audit highlights for the year ended June 30, 2011 for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/StateWideReports.htm Performance Audit 90A6D877-6DA3-4D1F-BEF0-C6BEBBD558B4 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 36-month performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections—Rehabilitation and Community Re-entry Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Juvenile_Corrections_Department_of/Performance/09-02/pa09-02.htm Performance Audit 4A8959D5-B1E1-47F1-894F-AF5CDED33490 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Arizona State Board of Nursing. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Nursing,_Board_of/Performance/11-02/pa11-02.htm Performance Audit 66BBFCFC-59FF-4E85-8A7E-20DF538AA11F Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/Intermediary_Page_Statewide.htm Financial Audit 9864EE08-B0B1-44F0-97B5-A4CDD8FF3E9A Mon, 5 Mar 2012 16:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services - Veteran Home. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-06/pa11-06.htm Performance Audit 36563D06-71A4-4249-BCC0-A725DA820EDC Mon, 5 Mar 2012 13:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services—Fiduciary Program. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-03/pa11-03.htm Performance Audit A814AA4C-CB08-498F-BBBF-17EFB7FB3193 Wed, 8 Feb 2012 12:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Sports_and_Tourism_Authority/Performance/10-09/pa10-09.htm Performance Audit 94392C3D-AD2C-428E-9321-F4A288F8B181 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has conducted an examination of the State of Arizona Statement of Federal Land Payments for the period October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/FederalLandPayments/State_of_AZ_Stmt_of_Fed_Land_Payments_Oct_1_2010_Sept_30_2011.pdf Financial Audit 3CFB9F6E-A9A7-4734-9176-FC63A5A16140 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Heritage Fund. The Department has established and generally follows policies and procedures to ensure Heritage Fund monies are spent in accordance with statutory purposes. The Department should strengthen its policies and procedures to ensure these monies are used appropriately for administrative costs and for costs related to contracts and escrow accounts. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission also appropriately spends Heritage Funds monies to purchase land to conserve wildlife habitat, and the Department should improve its management of these Heritage Fund properties. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Game_and_Fish_Department/Performance/11-14/pa11-14.htm Performance Audit AE0A297B-5410-45F0-9F10-1270941FA66A Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an 18-month performance audit followup of the Arizona State Lottery Commission and Arizona State Lottery. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Lottery_Commission/Performance/10-03/pa10-03.htm Performance Audit 42056D3E-CB6A-4159-B89B-CA8480F23491 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:53:21 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Maricopa County Regional Transportation Plan. In 2004, Maricopa County voters extended an existing sales tax initiative that generated funding for transportation projects, adding a significant investment in light rail, new and improved freeways, street improvements, and bus transit features. As of June 2011, a significant number of projects had been completed, but determining the effect these projects had on congestion, mobility, and quality-of-life needs could not be measured at that point. As such, the Maricopa County Association of Governments, Arizona Department of Transportation, Regional Pubic Transportation Authority, and METRO rail—the four primary organizations responsible for oversight or implementation of elements of the Regional Transportation Plan—can take several steps to improve the plan's cost-efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, improved performance measurement, improved coordination between entities, and more consolidated efforts between transit agencies could realize cost savings and improved operational outcomes. Further, strengthening the roles and responsibilities of the Maricopa County Association of Governments Transportation Policy Committee and the Citizen's Transportation Oversight Committee could enhance effectiveness and improve accountability to taxpayers. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Transportation_Department_of/Performance/11-CR1/pa11-CR1.htm Performance Audit B536B7A2-BE9E-4303-9214-366EC8AC0A4B Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued an Initial performance audit followup of the Department of Economic Security—Division of Children, Youth and Families—Child Protective Services—Contractor Payments. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Performance/CPS-1101/paCPS-1101.htm Performance Audit 13C02BC1-F4A3-4D0A-ABB6-DD0394806E0E Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2011 Financial Report (also includes Report on Internal Control and Compliance), and corresponding Financial Report Highlights for the Department of Economic Security - Division of Developmental Disabilities ALTCS Contract. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Economic_Security_Department_of.htm Financial Audit 046A888E-31A6-4D9D-A15D-B969A41BF1CC Fri, 9 Dec 2011 14:44:54 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an 18-month performance audit followup of the Board of Chiropractic Examiners . http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Chiropractic_Examiners_State_Board_of/Performance/10-06/pa10-06.htm Performance Audit CE445453-74E1-4F69-A947-A39F53B5CBF1 Thu, 8 Dec 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a procedural review of the Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety As of September 29,2011. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Building_and_Fire_Safety,_Department_of/Building_and_Fire_Safety,_Department_of.htm Performance Audit 4F9B898C-4ABA-44C0-8AB4-45BE5C010E04 Thu, 8 Dec 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Public Safety Personnel, Corrections Officer, and Elected Officials' Retirement System. The System provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, and retiree health insurance premiums to members. From 2005 through 2009, the System's legal costs steadily increased. In 2009, new policies and rules were adopted to control legal costs, which resulted in costs falling over 50 percent between 2009 and 2010. From 1991 through 2010, the System's investment portfolio – characterized at times by a high concentration in equities – earned just over 7 percent in annual gains, falling short of the actuarially assumed rate of return during this period. In 2008, the System began to make significant changes to its investment policies. These policy changes have resulted in a more diversified portfolio and significantly reduced the effect that any one type of investment could have on investment returns. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Public_Safety_Personnel_Other/Financial/PR_1991_2011/pr_1991-2011.htm Performance Audit 5C794E1F-34E3-4ACA-8CDC-55AB6934A55C Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2011 Financial Report for the State of Arizona Office of the Treasurer (external link). http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/Intermediary_Page_State_Treasurer_2.htm Financial Audit 20204D4C-22D5-4C56-A51B-428061C2E71C Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2011 Report on Internal Control and Compliance as well as the June 30, 2010 Financial Report Highlights for the State of Arizona Office of the Treasurer . http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona.htm Financial Audit DB53775D-EB6D-406F-A8D8-CE6A3DCEC197 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2011 Financial Report as well as the June 30, 2011 Management Letter for the Department of Health Services - Division of Behavioral Health Title XIX and XXI Contract. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Health_Services_Department_of.htm Financial Audit 358F716C-47AB-4EDE-961E-AEC70A91E441 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an Initial performance audit followup of the Office of Pest Management - Regulation . http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Pest_Management_Office_of/Performance/10-L1/pa10-L1.htm Performance Audit 7603C013-5CD8-40E8-923C-098D1EF39641 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 24-month performance audit followup of the Office of Pest Management - Restructuring . http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Pest_Management_Office_of/Performance/10-01/pa10-01.htm Performance Audit 84048AE3-7F5C-4CD8-8C9A-0E6C9673BBFE Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 24 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Liquor_Licenses_and_Control_Department_of/Performance/09-08/pa09-08.htm Performance Audit A7D85278-9A1D-4C6B-9DFE-A167A471A3F0 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety. The Department includes the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Office of Manufactured Housing. The Office of the State Fire Marshal has a history of inspection coverage deficiencies and should better manage its fire safety inspection processes, and the Department should seek legislation to charge fees to cover inspection costs. The Department should also ensure that the fees it charges cover the entire cost of regulating the State's manufactured housing and modular building industries. Finally, the Department has incorrectly spent some Mobile Home Relocation Fund monies in fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and should implement procedures to ensure it correctly uses these monies. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Building_and_Fire_Safety,_Department_of/Performance/11-13/pa11-13.htm Performance Audit 7EEA6471-CB67-447A-9AB4-E18F12C39251 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Board of Regents—Sunset Factors.

The Board of Regents sets tuition for the State's three universities in accordance with statute. Reductions in state funding for the universities have contributed to increased tuition rates, but many students pay less than the published tuition rate and the universities have taken steps to mitigate the impact of these tuition increases on students. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Regents,_Board_of/Performance/11-11/pa11-11.htm Performance Audit FF70C34F-4C3E-4B57-A039-6AB2DE106588 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services and the Arizona Veterans' Service Advisory Commission—Sunset Factors. The Department and the Commission have generally met their objectives and purposes to enrich and honor Arizona's veterans and their families and to provide policy advice to the Governor and the department director regarding veterans' issues. This report analyzes the Department and the Commission using the criteria in Arizona's sunset law, summarizes information from previous audits conducted as part of the Department's sunset review, and recommends that the Department strengthen its oversight of benefits-counseling field offices and contractors. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-10/pa11-10.htm Performance Audit BB43D99B-F424-4E1E-B292-0AC5D04CF53D Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services—Veterans' Donations and Military Family Relief Funds. Although the current director has implemented a process to avoid the past misuses of the donations fund, this audit identified uses of donations fund monies that did not benefit Arizona veterans, and some donations fund expenditures did not follow applicable state statutes. Additionally, the Military Family Relief Fund Advisory Committee, which reviews applications for family relief fund assistance and makes award recommendations to the department director, should establish additional criteria for recommending awards from this fund to avoid inconsistent award recommendations. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-09/pa11-09.htm Performance Audit E90151B7-604D-4725-B564-0CD7D5B08447 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Department of Corrections—Sunset Factors.

The Department has taken steps to improve its oversight of its contracted private prisons following the July 2010 Kingman private prison escapes. It has implemented a new monthly inspection program, improved its annual audit procedures, revised its Request for Proposals for additional private prison beds, and developed training for contract monitoring staff. The Department should carry out plans to update its policies and procedures to reflect its revised annual audit approach, implement contract monitor training, and comply with statutory requirements to compare services provided by private and state-run prisons. The Department should also improve officer compliance with security policies and procedures at state-run prisons by implementing plans to analyze inspection and audit finding data to identify noncompliance trends, take appropriate system-wide action, identify correctional officer-training needs, and continue its efforts to improve post orders. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Corrections_Department_of/Performance/11-07/pa11-07.htm Performance Audit BA730A30-FA38-4445-8707-0B680BDE878E Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Department of Agriculture—Sunset Factors. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Agriculture_Department_of/Performance/10-07/pa10-07.htm Performance Audit F425F064-5E57-4217-9633-91EF39625C8F Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 24 month performance audit followup of the Department of Health Services - Substance Abuse Treatment Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Performance/09-07/pa09-07.htm Performance Audit 2819572A-4B10-4AE5-A54C-40B51772B359 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 42 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts - Juvenile Treatment Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Supreme_Court/Performance/07-13/pa07-13.htm Performance Audit 22BF9993-E64E-423F-8DE1-F06E58F7E842 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services - Veteran Home. The Department operates a nursing home for Arizona veterans, their spouses, and parents whose children died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Although the Home is supposed to be self-sustaining, between fiscal years 2008 and 2010, it operated at a loss. With improvements in management of the Home, it is currently self-sustaining, but financial risks remain. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-06/pa11-06.htm Performance Audit 357E6319-9610-473D-82AC-A26AF300A84B Tue, 19 Jul 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Medical Board. The Board regulates medical doctors through licensing and by investigating complaints. The Board should establish written guidance for executive director complaint dismissals and take steps to improve complaint-handling timeliness. The Board uses staff doctors and medical consultants to help investigate complaints against doctors. However, the Board should improve the staff doctor/medical consultant selection process, ensure that consultants complete training, and develop guidance on using medical consultants whose previous work may have been inadequate. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Medical_Board/Performance/11-04/pa11-04.htm Performance Audit 8DED3D61-F0DC-49A1-8ACB-15C324992DCB Fri, 24 Jun 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 24 month performance audit followup of the State Compensation Fund. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Compensation_Fund/Performance/09-05/pa09-05.htm Performance Audit 8C91ECDC-50D7-4A8A-91A1-67A0008DDB68 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services - Fiduciary Program. The Department should consider either phasing out its fiduciary program or increasing fees to cover the program’s costs. In addition, the Department needs to address operational deficiencies in its fiduciary program that affect its ability to appropriately manage clients' affairs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Veterans_Services_Department_of/Performance/11-03/pa11-03.htm Performance Audit F46F025A-E3A4-4783-BE8B-656D0D6034B5 Tue, 7 Jun 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Arizona State Board of Nursing. The Board emphasizes protecting the public by focusing on the most serious complaint cases and conducting thorough investigations. However, despite its efforts, the Board processes some complaints in an untimely manner. To improve timeliness, three factors should be addressed. First, the Legislature should consider revising statute to enable the Board to obtain substance abuse and other evaluations earlier. Second, the Board should expand its practice of negotiating consent agreements and have the nurse/certified nursing assistant sign it before presenting it to the Board for its review and approval. Third, the Board should improve the accuracy and consistency of information in its database and use the database to enhance its monitoring and tracking of complaint-processing timeliness. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Nursing,%20Board%20of/Performance/11-02/pa11-02.htm Performance Audit 482CBC54-0878-430C-A101-031B440E7B50 Tue, 17 May 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Department of Corrections - Prison Population Growth. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Corrections_Department_of/Performance/10-08/pa10-08.htm Performance Audit 513F27B1-578A-4E3C-9CB0-17D3D8331AD7 Mon, 9 May 2011 15:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Department of Agriculture - Food Safety and Quality Assurance Inspection Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Agriculture_Department_of/Performance/10-04/pa10-04.htm Performance Audit 2BD93E14-82B2-4E26-91D0-B8F798B89C1A Tue, 3 May 2011 15:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an 18 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/Other/PAD/Arizona_Tourism_and_Sports_Authority/09-04/pa09-04.htm Performance Audit D0639634-4B06-4417-9196-79FF19F4A62E Fri, 15 Apr 2011 13:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an 18 month performance audit followup of the Department of Economic Security—Division of Children, Youth and Families—Child Protective Services—Relative Placement. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Performance/CPS-0902/paCPS-0902.htm Performance Audit B2C10176-F52F-4DC8-808A-E5F2360C1D88 Fri, 8 Apr 2011 13:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the financial and single audit report highlights and the single audit report for the year ended June 30, 2010 for the State of Arizona. http://oag/internetsite/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/StateWideReports.htm Performance Audit 6717ACE9-6ADB-418C-A4EB-64D079487CD3 Wed, 6 Apr 2011 16:31:50 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General issued a report on the Department of Economic Security—Division of Children, Youth and Families—Child Protective Services—Contractor Payments. The Division administers Arizona's child welfare program and related services, many of which are provided by contracted caregivers and community service providers. In fiscal year 2010, the Division spent more than $291.6 million on contracted and nonrecurring services. Auditors selected a sample of 80 payments for review—15 parent aide mileage payments and 65 potential duplicate payments for various other division services—totaling nearly $282,000 and paid between July 2004 and February 2010. They found that 32 of the payments included errors totaling more than $39,700. Auditors also identified an additional $11,759 in payment errors for parent aide hours. The Department and Division have taken steps to improve the processing of contractor payments and should take some additional actions, including conducting ongoing monitoring of contractor and nonrecurring payments. Additionally, the Department paid nearly $1.4 million for division contractor claims that were 2 to 4 years old without following required procedures, but has taken action to appropriately process these types of claims in the future. Finally the Division is more consistently safeguarding bus passes. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Performance/CPS-1101/paCPS-1101.htm Performance Audit 97276AB7-9B27-495C-8D7A-CFAAF3FECF31 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2010 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/Intermediary_Page_Statewide.htm Financial Audit 6852F64C-7E33-4814-A9D5-7523BF41E0A6 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued an initial performance audit followup of the Office of Pest Management - Restructuring . http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Pest_Management_Office_of/Performance/10-01/pa10-01.htm Performance Audit B7206C22-F2F9-4D39-AC6F-7CB029B8801A Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has conducted an examination of the State of Arizona Statement of Federal Land Payments for the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/FederalLandPayments/State_of_AZ_Stmt_of_Fed_Land_Payments_Oct_1_2009_Sept_30_2010.pdf Financial Audit 38960821-126C-409A-9386-27AEBC058F4D Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a financial audit report on the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission - Summary of Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Distributions for the year ended June 30, 2010, and from inception to June 30, 2010. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Criminal_Justice_Commission/Financial/AZ_Criminal_Justice_Comm_6_30_2010_Drug_and_Gang_Enforcement_Account_Distributions.pdf Financial Audit A2AB9948-A4A1-4CDF-9DAF-8E75C2770A3E Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a report on the Arizona Department of Public Safety (Department)—Followup on Specific Recommendations from Previous Audits and Sunset Factors.

The Authority is responsible for the University of Phoenix Stadium, the multipurpose facility that houses the Arizona Cardinals and the Fiesta Bowl; and distributing monies for various statutory purposes. The Authority has taken steps to address its financial situation, but it projects continuing revenue shortfalls that will affect its ability to meet statutory distributions and reduce its operating reserve. These shortfalls should not affect its ability to meet its bond obligations. The Authority's procurement of concessions services largely adhered to best practices, which it should use for future procurements. The Authority should also make some minor changes to its oversight of the facility manager and review of youth and amateur sports grant projects. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Sports_and_Tourism_Authority/Performance/10-09/pa10-09.htm Performance Audit A6E9FD2C-28D8-4D27-B7F3-0E4A889023BE Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a 6 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Housing. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Housing,_Department_of/Performance/10-05/pa10-05.htm Performance Audit 832E98D6-D4DC-4999-B796-671462CA65B7 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2010 Financial Report and corresponding Financial Report Highlights for the Department of Economic Security - Division of Developmental Disabilities ALTCS Contract. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Economic_Security_Department_of.htm Financial Audit 4F8EC78D-AD2F-45BC-AC1D-38E7FAD4D6E0 Wed, 8 Dec 2010 06:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2010 Financial Report for the State Treasurer of Arizona (external link). http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/Intermediary_Page_State_Treasurer.htm Financial Audit 4E03BD6D-5BDA-43F7-AE5F-0694D020020D Wed, 8 Dec 2010 06:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2010 Financial Report as well as the June 30, 2010 Management Letter for the Department of Health Services - Division of Behavioral Health Title XIX and XXI Contract. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Health_Services_Department_of.htm Financial Audit 034F7693-7059-425A-9AD0-420437AFABBC Wed, 1 Dec 2010 15:30:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued the June 30, 2010 Report on Internal Control and Compliance as well as the June 30, 2010 Financial Report Highlights for the State Treasurer of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona.htm Financial Audit F491BECC-3D38-4F82-A024-C0967D85A05F Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:15:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a letter report on the Office of Pest Management - Regulation.

Arizona's prison population has grown significantly in the last 30 years and is expected to continue growing. The State has addressed this growth by constructing new prison facilities and contracting with private prisons, among other things. The State has several options for addressing this growth in the future. The State could continue to build prisons and/or contract for private prisons. The State could also consider diverting more nonviolent, low-risk offenders from prison or reducing their time in prison, and expanding the use of nonprison alternatives for these offenders, such as home arrest. In addition, using more nonprison alternatives for parole violators could also reduce the prison population. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Corrections_Department_of/Performance/10-08/pa10-08.htm Performance Audit DBC0E4C1-BE63-4AE0-B9D6-CD3964446489 Fri, 1 Oct 2010 08:00:00 -0700 The Office of the Arizona Auditor General has issued a report providing information on the 12 sunset factors the Legislature is to consider in determining whether to continue the Department of Agriculture (Department). The report notes that the Department is generally effective in meeting its overall objective and purpose. The report also recommends that the Department improve its guidance and oversight for complex complaint investigations of reported livestock cruelty, neglect, or abuse. The Department could do this by establishing guidelines for when to involve its Office of Special Investigations in a complaint, establishing time frames for key steps in the complaint-handling process, and as resources are available, modifying its complaint-handling database and using it to periodically monitor its inspectors’ timeliness in conducting investigations. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Agriculture_Department_of/Performance/10-07/pa10-07.htm Performance Audit 9FD8D879-912E-4FE0-A932-417DDE5D7D1E Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:00:00 -0700 The initial performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Liquor_Licenses_and_Control_Department_of/Performance/09-08/pa09-08.htm Performance Audit 503A0F25-0D6E-47DF-A02A-DCF3BD8921B3 Thu, 1 Jul 2010 13:00:00 -0700 The Board of Chiropractic Examiners should improve its complaint-handling processes by (1) enhancing its complaint-opening policy to provide additional guidance to ensure that decisions about whether to open a complaint are consistent with statutory authority, (2) where possible, limiting its subpoenas to records directly related to the nature of complaints, (3) reviewing a licensee's complaint or disciplinary history only after adjudicating the complaint to avoid prejudicing its review, and (4) considering establishing disciplinary guidelines to help ensure that its disciplinary actions are consistent. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Chiropractic_Examiners_State_Board_of/Performance/10-06/pa10-06.htm Performance Audit 1290AF02-5F00-45E5-926C-23A0EFFCC29F Thu, 1 Jul 2010 08:00:00 -0700 The initial performance audit followup of the Department of Health Services—Substance Abuse Treatment Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Performance/09-07/pa09-07.htm Performance Audit F4601871-D3F7-4875-AF6B-E45FCAF69794 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:00:00 -0700 The June 30, 2009 Single Audit Report and Highlights for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/StateWideReports.htm Financial Audit BF092989-FE67-42F1-95E2-E41404B96C62 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:00:00 -0700 Procedural Review of the Arizona State Board of Chiropractic Examiners as of March 19, 2010. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Chiropractic_Examiners_State_Board_of/Financial/2010/AZ_Bd_of_Chiro_Exam_Proc_Rev_3_19_10.pdf Financial Audit 35CA8D25-70C8-4804-A5F9-8F187CE8853F Fri, 4 Jun 2010 11:00:00 -0700 The Arizona Department of Housing administers several programs that have increased affordable housing opportunities throughout the State, especially for low- and middle-income families.

Because the dairy industry benefits from the Department’s dairy inspection program, the State should share more program costs—which the State General Fund bears almost entirely—with the industry. Similarly, the Legislature should consider transferring meat and poultry inspections to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who would conduct these inspections at no cost to the State, or require the industry to pay the costs of operating the state program. In addition, the Department could continue shifting its produce program emphasis from quality to safety by using federal grant monies to promote produce safety audits. Lastly, the Department should take additional measures to promote food defense awareness. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Agriculture_Department_of/Performance/10-04/pa10-04.htm Performance Audit 55B6B5E9-5A2B-40F6-BAAD-758884833AB7 Fri, 14 May 2010 08:00:00 -0700 The June 30, 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/Intermediary_Page_Statewide.htm Financial Audit 34CCDF35-1043-416D-B3EA-DCEB7D9583DA Wed, 12 May 2010 13:45:00 -0700 18 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Biomedical Research Commission. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Biomedical_Research_Commission/Performance/08-05/pa08-05.htm Performance Audit 126F0EAD-C472-4897-AD1E-E4FB7FBC3515 Wed, 5 May 2010 13:30:00 -0700 12 month performance audit followup of the State Compensation Fund. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Compensation_Fund/Performance/09-05/pa09-05.htm Performance Audit 40C5719A-1515-41D9-BD46-3C5EDAD8FAD5 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:30:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Post-Secondary_Education_Arizona_Commission_for/Performance/07-09/pa07-09.htm Performance Audit 91F615E2-2774-4369-81FF-9FC829605EEA Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:00:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Office of Pest Management (formerly the AZ Structural Pest Control Commission). http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Pest_Management_Office_of/Performance/07-05/pa07-05.htm Performance Audit E8B07914-7403-4802-BFFE-4B9F50A64896 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:00:00 -0700 The June 30, 2009 Financial Audit Report for the Arizona State Treasurer (external link). http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/Intermediary_Page_State_Treasurer.htm Financial Audit BCFCADDE-30EB-49A8-ADE2-2F68D79FB236 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:00:00 -0700 This document answers five questions about Arizona’s Child Protective Services Central Registry, which is a confidential database containing information about substantiated child abuse and neglect reports.

Sales revenue is distributed to various Arizona program beneficiaries, but since fiscal year 2007, lottery sales and distributions have been leveling off or declining. The Lottery should take steps to increase its sales and distributions by recruiting more retailers, increasing the number of people who play the lottery, and better managing its costs. In addition, although the Lottery has measures similar to other states for ensuring its games and players are protected from dishonest practices, it can do more, such as monitoring how frequently owners or retailer employees win prizes to ensure they were won fairly. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Lottery_Commission/Performance/10-03/pa10-03.htm Performance Audit B6B63AD0-6D90-4B41-A397-E93579A14C58 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:30:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts—Juvenile Detention Centers. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Supreme_Court/Performance/07-11/pa07-11.htm Performance Audit CA5F8004-D8BD-40E5-8F91-0C002FDFF400 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts—Juvenile Treatment Programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Supreme_Court/Performance/07-13/pa07-13.htm Performance Audit 6CBC3CFF-B122-42E9-94F8-0BA6BE899D36 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Department of Environmental Quality—Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Environmental_Quality_Department_of/Performance/07-12/pa07-12.htm Performance Audit 8F15BC8E-87CF-46A2-A3DD-6E704025FB9A Tue, 2 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0700 The federal land payments financial report for the State of Arizona. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/StateWideReports/Financial/FederalLandPayments/State_of_Arizona_Statement_of_Federal_Land_Payment_thru_Sept_30_2009.pdf Performance Audit EDD044B9-EA50-46DE-8E0E-5E54ECDE40AE Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:00:00 -0700 6 month performance audit followup of the Department of Economic Security—Division of Children, Youth and Families—Child Protective Services—Congregate Care. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Performance/CPS-0901/paCPS-0901.htm Performance Audit 1ED5E34F-936C-48FC-9D89-F1E53039480D Mon, 8 Feb 2010 13:30:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Department of Transportation—Highway Maintenance http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Transportation_Department_of/Performance/07-03/pa07-03.htm Performance Audit 176346E4-3B08-4B3B-8032-1EB878ADEF7B Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:30:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the Department of Economic Security—Division of Child Support Enforcement http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Performance/07-10/pa07-10.htm Performance Audit BA1A83AA-6A39-43C5-B401-BC1CD898A06F Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:00:00 -0700 The Department’s photo enforcement camera units take photos of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 11 mph or more on highways state-wide and identified drivers are notified of the offenses by mail.

Auditors evaluated four options for restructuring the Office, and considering the Office’s purpose, regulatory functions, the need for accountability and responsiveness to the public and the regulated community, and the potential for efficiency gains, consolidation within the Arizona Department of Agriculture (Agriculture) appears to be the best option. The report also presents options for placing the Office within Agriculture, including creating a new, comprehensive pesticides program or combining the Office’s functions with similar functions in existing agriculture programs. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Pest_Management_Office_of/Performance/10-01/pa10-01.htm Performance Audit 71C71C1C-66F6-44DA-BAEA-8C9C86A42286 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:00:00 -0700 12 month performance audit followup of the Arizona Biomedical Research Commission. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Biomedical_Research_Commission/Performance/08-05/pa08-05.htm Performance Audit 9D9E9EDA-EE11-46E9-9E3F-DB0B83B361A8 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:15:00 -0700 Financial Audit Report of the Department of Economic Security - Division of Developmental Disabilities ALTCS Contract for the Year Ended June 30, 2009. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Financial/DDD_ALTCS_2009/DES_DDD_June_30_2009_ALTCS_Contract_Financial_Report.pdf Financial Audit E3A0F6E3-FB05-478C-9B1F-CC3EDC9443D0 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:00 -0700 Financial Audit Report Highlights of the Department of Economic Security - Division of Developmental Disabilities ALTCS Contract for the Year Ended June 30, 2009. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Economic_Security,_Department_of/Financial/DDD_ALTCS_2009/DES_DDD_June_30_2009_ALTCS_Contract_Highlights.pdf Financial Audit CE097DA4-1BB8-4870-9850-B09875E83EEB Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:00 -0700 Financial Audit Report of the Arizona State Treasurer, June 30, 2009 Report on Internal Control and Compliance. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/State_Treasurer_of_Arizona/Financial/AZ_State_Treasurer_06_30_09_Report_on_Internal_Controls.pdf Financial Audit D0F48753-F4F6-425A-932E-B3A6079EF323 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the AZ School Facilities Board. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/School_Facilities_Board/Performance/07-06/pa07-06.htm Performance Audit F0D6F923-6679-4E50-99E3-FC4301EABE8D Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:00 -0700 Management Letter for the Department of Health Services Division of Behavioral Health Services - Title XIX and XXI Contract for the Year Ended June 30, 2009. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Financial/DHS_BHS_June_30_2009_Title_XIX_and_XXI_Contract_Closure_Letter.pdf Financial Audit FCA1D3DB-07FD-45AF-924A-229E24BC6336 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:59:33 -0700 Financial Audit Report of the Department of Health Services Division of Behavioral Health Services - Title XIX and XXI Contract for the Year Ended June 30, 2009. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Health_Services_Department_of/Financial/DHS_BHS_June_30_2009_Title_XIX_and_XXI_Contract_Financial_Report.pdf Financial Audit F0463E59-89FF-4EF0-8B8E-D893951517E4 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:30:00 -0700 24 month performance audit followup of the AZ State Land Department. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Land_Department/Performance/07-08/pa07-08.htm Performance Audit 9A9FD9E3-9BBA-42CC-B01F-AFED0A413C5A Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:45:06 -0700 Financial Audit of the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, June 30, 2008 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Distributions http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Criminal_Justice_Commission/Financial/AZ_Criminal_Justice_Comm_6_30_2008_Drug_and_Gang_Enforcement_Account_Distributions.pdf Financial Audit 2FB63F7B-6F79-4A0E-B887-E348A310C5DA Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:00:03 -0700 The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (Department) has made significant improvements that address serious deficiencies identified by a 2004 federal investigative report involving suicide prevention, violence, and sexual abuse. Following the federal investigation, the State entered into a memorandum of agreement to address more than 120 mandatory provisions. In 2007, the Department was found to be in substantial compliance with all of these provisions and was released from federal monitoring. The Department can make minor improvements to its suicide prevention practices, continue to reduce juvenile violence, and strengthen staff awareness of the appropriate boundaries for staff-juvenile conduct. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Juvenile_Corrections_Department_of/Performance/09-09/pa09-09.htm Performance Audit 1881E5B8-5861-46EB-B7EA-A0BE86DD8F34 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:00:00 -0700 This report was prepared as part of the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (Department) sunset review.
