Section 6. RE-AUDIT
SCHEDULE
The FTA will provide a schedule for the
time on-site and will ask the grantee to
ensure all personnel will be available during
that time. The typical re-audit on-site visit
will last 2 to 3 days. The charts on the
following page illustrate a typical re-audit
agenda.
Section 7. RE-AUDIT TIME LINE
The time from notification until the
on-site audit is 4 weeks. The on-site review
will last approximately 3 days. An exit
interview will be held on the third day to
describe the re-audit findings. The grantee
will have 45 days to correct deficiencies and
provide supporting documentation to FTA.
The chart on page 14-18 illustrates the reaudit
time line from notification of the reaudit,
to the grantee providing
documentation of actions to correct
deficiencies.
While on-site, the audit team will review
areas of the original audit that were noncompliant.
One grantee’s re-audit may not
contain the same questioning as another.
For example, re-audit questions for a grantee
with non-compliant random testing and
program management in the original audit
will focus on the program management and
random testing records. Another grantee
with non-compliant collection sites, MRO,
and post-accident testing will have only
these portions of the program reviewed
during the re-audit.
The final report will be given at the exit
interview. Each auditor will discuss the
portion of the audit that he/she completed,
and will also offer suggestions on how the
deficiencies can be corrected. You will have
the opportunity to ask questions regarding
the findings, however, they will not be
negotiated. The re-audit report and exit
letter will explain the type of documentation
that needs to be included in the response,
and you will have 45 days to correct the
deficiencies.
