FOLLOW-UP REPORT: Adult Parole & Probation and Sheriff's Office —Allocation of State
Grant -in -Aid Monies (Internal audit report #07/08-6 issued January 2008)
Audit Authority:
The Deschutes County Audit Committee has suggested follow-ups occur from nine months to one year
after the original report issuance.
Objectives:
The objective was to follow-up on the one audit recommendation identified in the report. The original
internal audit report should be referenced for the full recommendations and discussion. The follow-up
report was developed from information provided by the Sheriffs Office and Adult Parole & Probation.
Since no substantive audit work was performed, Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States were not followed.
Follow -Up: {One item}
Recommendation: It is recommended the Adult Parole & Probation and Sheriff's Office collaborate on
how best to develop a complete database of the SB1145 sanctions and local control.
Sheriff's Office status — James Ross, Business Manager
I don't believe there has been any progress on this recommendation. Per Sheriff Larry Blanton,
Dave Kanner has stated their will be no change in the current 60/40 split of 1145 funds next year.
Therefore, the need to develop an 1145 inmate tracking system is not a high priority for the
Sheriffs Office right now.
Adult Parole & Probation status — Ken Hales, Community Justice Director
No, at this time P&P is not actively pursuing implementing this recommendation for the
following reasons.
1. The remedy is unknown
2. Determining a solution involves multiple departments (P&P, SO, IT)
3. The new tracking system, once devised, is not likely to change who get how much
money.
Auditor Comment
The responses from these two departments are understandable given they see no current fiscal
impact. However, I would hope they would invest additional effort in their systems to assure
higher quality data used to make decisions over the long term.
No additional follow-up is considered necessary.
