SOS!

audit. Secretary of State auditing IV-E statewide.

IV-E is federal funding that reimburses costs the state pays for kids in foster care.

I am a IV-E specialist...and one of my IV-E cases is going down to Salem for audit next week...along with a foster home provider file and the 8 volume case file.

Most of my work goes unseen and unreviewed. Every three years we have the big federal audit. In between we have SOS audits, and some internal audits.

I don't mind having my work reviewed, but it is nerve wracking. The initial determination was done by someone else. I went back and did a little clarification. The fewer things the auditors have to figure out for themselves, they better.

Dry, I know...but hey, it's my day job.
