WORK IN PROGRESS
Department of Health and Human Services
We are conducting an audit of a DHHS program in which Medicaid beneficiaries are given transportation to non-emergency medical appointments. These appointments can be for services such as dialysis, routine doctor visits, physical therapy, and dental care. The primary issues of the audit are the cost and quality of the transportation services.
Department of Corrections
We are conducting an audit of the Department of Corrections. We are examining various issues including agency revenues and expenditures, human resource practices, procurement, and agency internal controls.
Department of Insurance
We are conducting an audit of the Department of Insurance. The audit will review the regulation of insurance by the department focusing on workers’ compensation insurance, coastal insurance, and the overall regulation of insurance.
South Carolina Education Lottery
We are conducting a review of the South Carolina Education Lottery, which is required by state law every three years. This review will include a follow-up of areas from our December 2005 report, such as advertising, staff salaries, enforcement of illegal gambling laws, and the playing of the lottery by underage players. It will also include several areas that we did not address in 2005.
Family Independence Act
We are conducting an audit of the Family Independence Act administered by the Department of Social Services, which is required by state law. We are required to answer three objectives regarding the program: 1) Identify the number of families and individuals no longer receiving welfare; 2) Identify the number of individuals who have completed educational, employment, and training programs under this act; and 3) Identify the number of individuals who have become employed and the duration of their employment.
