| Description | State Auditor of Accounts Randy Brock thinks that a key to making his office more effective is follow-up.
Behind the 1910 state auditor's desk that just this year found its way back home to Brock's office in a converted Victorian on State Street is a shelf lined with blue and white binders detailing the past sins of agencies across state government and what's been done -- or not -- to correct them.
He's trying to avoid situations like that found at the Vermont Veterans' Home in Bennington, which was audited in 1999 and again this year. "Our audit found deficiencies still there" that had existed in 1999, Brock said.
"The last thing you need is to have repeat audits over and over again finding the same issues," said the 62-year-old first-term Republican.
There's a blue and white binder devoted to each agency that has been audited either during Brock's first year in office or by his predecessors, Elizabeth Ready and Edward Flanagan.
At the beginning of each binder is a chart or "matrix," as Brock calls it, showing a list of the agencies, past deficiencies and what steps have been taken to correct them. |
