Merit Appeals Board <br />May 26, 2021 <br />I felt the audit was yeah, it wasn't a great thing the results of the audit. But, from my <br />coaching background, one of the things I hold fast to is the fact that you learn more from a loss <br />than you do from a victory. I classifyI identified the audit as a loss. And but it gave us the <br />opportunity to learn so much from what our shortcomings were and what we needed to do to <br />make things better. And what I want to do is I want to have another game. I want to play <br />another game. Have the opportunity to have another match and be able to show the audit—the <br />auditor that we have made the corrections. We have re-established and are following the proper <br />policies and procedures and that there shouldn't be any question. There shouldn't be any issues <br />regarding trust and whether or not the process is being performed correctly. <br />So, I value and I look forward to the follow-up audit and I would like to see it happen just as <br />much as everybody else in my office. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you for those comments. I believe the legislative auditor the audit <br />was, if my memory serves me correct—was that the department would provide an annual report <br />to the legislative auditor. So, even when I was there, we submitted a written report to the <br />auditor's to show the auditor that, yes, there were improvements, there were changes in <br />processes. And so, the auditor knew that the audit results was not for naught, that we did follow- <br />UP - <br />But, specifically, the auditor is coming to review the department's staff auditing those interview <br />packets. And that's what is, I think, the last element of that audit report. So—and then, the staff, <br />to reflect how much the staff have been doing as well `cause that is a lot for them to do. <br />MR. BRILHANTE: I'll definitely follow-up with the auditor to make sure that all those items <br />are being followed through with. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you very much. And thank you for your "Director's Report." Any <br />questions from the Board for our director? Okay. Thank you, Bill. <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Thank you. <br />Page 12 <br />
