The Department also administers a program that improves community services and infrastructure in Arizona’s rural communities. There are good controls in place at the Department—such as training, policies and procedure, on-site inspections, and guidance documents—that ensure compliance with state and federal eligibility and monitoring requirements. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Housing,_Department_of/Performance/10-05/pa10-05.htm Performance Audit E89308DB-BD1C-48B9-867F-22D554D076E5 Thu, 3 Jun 2010 12:00:00 -0700 18 month performance audit followup of the Board of Podiatry Examiners. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Podiatry_Examiners_Board_of/Performance/08-06/pa08-06.htm Performance Audit F8D2CBED-6984-43E5-8688-99E753C0B00B Wed, 26 May 2010 14:00:00 -0700 The Department helps ensure the safety and quality of Arizona’s dairy products, meat and poultry, eggs, and produce through various inspection programs. 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. Projected revenue for the program’s first year was $90 million, but only $37 million in fines was collected for reasons including that detections decrease as motorists become aware of the program. Monies collected are used for program operations and some revenue is deposited in the State General Fund—$19 million as of October 2009. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Public_Safety_Department_of/Performance/10-02/pa10-02.htm Performance Audit 00EC4150-49D7-4DEB-9B26-1048284B9565 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:00:00 -0700 Letter on the status of the 24 month followup report of the performance audit of the Department of Revenue—Audit Division. http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Revenue_Department_of/Performance/05-06/pa05-06.htm Performance Audit AADEC518-ECDB-40CC-A609-A255FAC5D4EF Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:00:00 -0700 Letter on the status of the 18 month followup report of the performance audit of the Department of Revenue—Business Reengineering/Integrated Tax System (BRITS). http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Revenue_Department_of/Performance/05-15/pa05-15.htm Performance Audit 13522D4B-AB15-48E5-8E82-FF93B811614C Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:00:00 -0700 In 2008, the Legislature established the Office of Pest Management (Office) in the Arizona Department of Administration and directed the Auditor General to recommend an appropriate option for the Office’s "reorganization and restructuring." 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.
