				  determines that the state agencies and statewide issues satisfy the criteria set

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  When making an assessment to determine the state agencies and statewide issues that
				  should appear on a new state high risk list, the State Auditor shall gather
				  information to conduct the assessment. The State Auditor shall gather information
				  from the State Auditor's past audit and investigative reports and may consult with
				  state oversight agencies as provided in Government Code section
				  8546.5,
				  subdivision (b). In addition, the State Auditor may obtain information from any
				  other sources the State Auditor believes can provide information that would be
				  helpful to the assessment, including information from the state agencies suspected
				  of being high risk or potentially having some responsibility for a statewide issue
				  suspected of being high risk. The State Auditor also shall accept information from
				  government officials and members of the public.
(b) To obtain information for the purpose of
				  making an assessment, the State Auditor may, among other efforts, request:
(1) Access to or copies of state government
				  documents;
(2) Answers to written
				  questions submitted to state agency officials;
(3) Interviews with persons in state government,
				  including state officials, employees, and consultants having knowledge about the
				  agencies or statewide issues being assessed; and
(4) Interviews with persons outside state
				  government, including subject matter experts and members of the public having
				  knowledge about the state agencies or statewide issues being
				  assessed.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A state agency or
				  statewide issue previously identified by the State Auditor as high risk shall be
				  removed from the state high risk list if, based on an assessment, the State Auditor
				  determines that significant progress has been made toward eliminating the basis on
				  which the state agency or statewide issue was identified as high risk.
(b) The State Auditor may determine that
				  significant progress has been made toward eliminating the basis on which a state
				  agency or statewide issue was identified as high risk if, in the professional
				  judgment of the State Auditor, either of the following has occurred:
(1) There has been a change in circumstances since
				  the state agency or statewide issue was identified as high risk such that the
				  identified risk of waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or for major challenges
				  associated with economy, efficiency, or effectiveness no longer present a
				  substantial risk of serious detriment to the State or its residents.
(2) The state agency or the responsible state
				  agencies for a statewide issue have taken sufficient corrective actions regarding
				  the identified risk to prevent the risk from continuing to present a substantial
				  risk of serious detriment to the State or its residents.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A state agency is
				  high risk, and therefore may be added to the state high risk list if, in the
				  professional judgment of the State Auditor, the agency is at risk of suffering
				  waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or major challenges associated with its
				  economy, efficiency, or effectiveness under circumstances that cause the risk to be
				  high because all four of the following conditions are present:
(1) The waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or
				  impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness that is being risked may result in
				  serious detriment to the State or its residents;
(2) The likelihood of the waste, fraud, abuse, or
				  mismanagement or impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness causing serious
				  detriment to the State or its residents is great enough, when compared with the
				  level of serious detriment that may result, for there to be substantial risk of
				  serious detriment to the State or its residents;
(3) The agency is not taking adequate corrective
				  actions to prevent the risk of waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or impaired
				  economy, efficiency, or effectiveness from continuing to present a substantial risk
				  of serious detriment to the State or its residents; and
(4) The substantial risk of serious detriment to
				  the State or its residents may be reduced significantly by the State Auditor
				  auditing the state agency and issuing recommendations that are implemented to
				  control or eliminate the causes for the state agency being identified as high
				  risk.
California Code of Regulations › Title 2 - Administration › Division 10 - California State Auditor's Office › Chapter 2 - State High-Risk Government Agency Audit Program › Subchapter 2 - The State High Risk List › Section 61014 - Criteria for Evaluating Risk of Serious Detriment

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In assessing whether the waste, fraud, abuse,
				  or mismanagement or impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness being risked by a
				  state agency or a statewide issue may result in serious detriment to the State or
				  its residents, the State Auditor shall consider whether any or all of the following
				  circumstances may result:
(1) Loss of life,
				  significant injury, or a broad reduction in residents' overall health or
				  safety.
(2) Impairment of the delivery
				  of important government services.
(3)
				  Significant reduction in the overall effectiveness or efficiency of a state
				  government program.
(4) Undermining of
				  California's economic stability and growth.
(5) Impingement of citizens' rights, including
				  their right to privacy.
(6) Widespread
				  damage to public confidence in California government.
(7) Manipulation, misuse, or unauthorized
				  disclosure of sensitive information, including sensitive data maintained in a state
				  computer system.
(8) Reduction in the
				  value of state assets or revenues or an increase in state liabilities or expenses,
				  including improper payments, that significantly affects the State's
				  finances.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In assessing whether the likelihood of the
				  waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or impaired economy, efficiency, or
				  effectiveness being risked by a state agency or a statewide issue is great enough,
				  when compared with the level of serious detriment that may result, for there to be
				  substantial risk of serious detriment to the State or its residents, the State
				  Auditor shall consider whether:
(1) The waste,
				  fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness
				  already is resulting in serious detriment to the State or its residents.
(2) The waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or
				  impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness currently is resulting in detriment
				  to the State or its residents and the amount of detriment is escalating such that it
				  is likely to rise to a level of serious detriment to the State or its
				  residents.
(3) A change of circumstances
				  challenging existing state agency controls against waste, fraud, abuse, or
				  mismanagement or impaired economy, efficiency, or effectiveness is likely to occur
				  and the likely result of that occurrence will be serious detriment to the State or
				  its residents.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In assessing whether a state agency or the
				  responsible state agencies for a statewide issue have taken adequate corrective
				  actions to prevent a risk of waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement or impaired
				  economy, efficiency, or effectiveness from presenting a substantial risk of serious
				  detriment to the State or its residents, the State Auditor shall consider whether
				  the state agency or responsible state agencies have:
(1) Demonstrated a strong commitment to
				  controlling or eliminating the risk;
(2)
				  Adopted an appropriate action plan for controlling or eliminating the
				  risk;
(3) Made significant progress,
				  through actions already taken, to control or eliminate the risk; and

				  corrective actions already taken, that the remaining planned actions will be
				  completed promptly.

				  California Code of Regulations, title 2, section
				  61011; and
