Overall Conclusion:
- The Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board operated
within available resources and generally complied with applicable
legal provisions and management’s authorizations. However, we
have concerns about the board’s administration of a contract
for services.
Key Finding:
- The POST Board did not properly monitor its anti-racial profiling
contract with a third-party vendor, resulting in overpayments of about
$41,000.
The audit report contained two audit findings relating to internal
control and legal compliance. The board did not fully resolve one
of two findings included in our prior audit report, and we have
repeated it in this report. |
