Auditors will interview staff regarding job duties and offenders when necessary. Up to eighteen ACA mock audits will be scheduled each year. The Policy and Accreditation Branch Manager shall determine the total number auditors used for each individual audit. One auditor will be designated as the chairperson who will prepare an audit report and submit the report to the Policy and Accreditation Branch Manager for distribution to the Commissioner and Warden/Director of the facility/division being audited. Institutional audits will be conducted over a three-day period. Division of Probation and Parole, Division of Corrections Training, Central Office, and KCI audits will be conducted over a two-to-three-day period. Pricing: Auditors will receive $500.00 per day.
