However, auditors were not <br />provided documentation to confirm that this requirement had been satisfied during the audit period. <br />Business Services Hawaii <br />Site Visit <br />Auditors requested to meet with Business Services Hawaii at one of its processing locations in order <br />to observe its ADF processes. However, BSH declined the audit team's request. The following <br />excerpts are from correspondence received from BSH's attorney in response to the auditors' request: <br />"My client is unable to accommodate your untimely demand to enter her business <br />premises. Current operations are substantially different from those of prior fiscal <br />years. The contract does give your office the right to audit my client's records, which <br />my client has always maintained she is willing to do. My client's position is that if the <br />County intended to reserve the authority to enter a person's place of business without <br />sufficient notice or reason, it would have expressly stated that in the terms and <br />conditions of the contract. As far as my client is concerned, the language in the <br />contract was meant to authorize the County to do a records audit not a site <br />investigation." <br />DEM Grant Guidelines for BSH's Advanced Disposal Fee (ADF) contract contain the following <br />clause which is incorporated into its contract by reference: <br />"Audits: Participants are subject to audit by the County to assure that the activities <br />were in accordance with the terms of the Glass Recycling Program and the executed <br />contract." <br />31 <br />
