System Auditing (55)<\/h1>\n \n

Description:<\/strong><\/h3> \n\n

\n \n <\/p>

System auditing includes technical, operational, and financial checking of vendor and\/or state program performance. Auditing leverages low-level data and, ideally, traces transactions from their initial data set to their conclusion. This process may be part of vendor recertification or a requirement for continued service. <\/p> \n\n

Details:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Audits may be regular or scheduled exercises, or they may be triggered by performance characteristics. Audits may take one of three main forms:<\/p>

    \n
  1. Technical audits<\/i> involve checking technology performance and tracing raw data values through the system. Ideally, participants should be involved and share data.<\/li>\n
  2. Financial audits<\/i> involve checking the correct movement of funds and include a standard certified public accountant audit that verifies that RUC was collected from participants and moved into correct accounts.<\/li>\n
  3. Operational audits<\/i> involve checking any aspect of operations not related to direct mileage reporting. This may include checking customer service performance and the functionality of processes like enrollment, disenrollment, or vehicle sales.<\/li><\/ol>\n
