SYNOPSIS

• (25-5) The Office did not obtain and
maintain required written certifications
from employees regarding revolving door
restrictions.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH REVOLVING DOOR
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

The Office did not obtain and maintain
required written certifications from
employees regarding revolving door
restrictions.

We noted 2 of 4 (50%) employees tested did
not provide written certification
acknowledging the revolving door
prohibition and the obligation to notify
the Inspector General prior to accepting
non-State employment. (Finding 5, page 17)

We recommended the Office comply with the
requirements of the Act by obtaining and
maintaining written certifications from
all employees subject to the revolving
door restrictions.

Management responded that the Office
accepts the auditor’s finding and
recommendation.

OTHER FINDINGS

The remaining findings pertain to
statutory mandates on the Office,
cybersecurity, and controls over service
providers. We will review the Office’s
progress towards the implementation of our
recommendations in our next State
compliance examination.
