§ 305.12 - State comments.

(a) Prior to the start of the actual audit, the Office will hold an audit entrance conference with the IV-D agency. At that conference, the Office will explain how the audit will be performed and make any necessary arrangements.

(b) Prior to concluding the audit fieldwork, the Office will afford the State IV-D agency an opportunity for an audit exit conference at which time preliminary audit findings will be discussed and the IV-D agency may present any additional matter it believes should be considered in the audit findings.

(c) At the conclusion of the audit fieldwork, the Office will prepare and send to the IV-D agency a copy of its interim report on the results of the audit. Within 45 days from the date the report was sent by certified mail, the IV-D agency may submit written comments on any part of the report which the IV-D agency believes to be in error. The Office will incorporate such comments, if any, into the final audit report.
