Audits are conducted by which office?

• A. The Governor
• B. The Legislature
• C. The State Controller
• D. The Administrative Director

Answer: (D)

Audits in the Self-Insurance Plans are handled by the Administrative Director because this office oversees the regulation and supervision of SIPs, including reviewing financial records, reserves, and compliance with applicable statutes. The Administrative Director has the statutory authority to examine the accounts and operations of self-insurance plans to ensure they are solvent and properly administered. While the Governor and Legislature provide policy and oversight, and the State Controller audits state agencies and certain governments, the SIP framework places audit authority with the Administrative Director to maintain focused, program-specific oversight.
