Can the union review the audit findings and defend its position before OLMS publishes the closing letter?
It is expected that the union will provide all information to the investigator during the compliance audit to ensure that the audit findings are accurate and complete. During the exit interview, the investigator discusses the audit findings and any internal control recommendations. The investigator also outlines any specific steps the union must take to comply with the law, such as filing an amended financial report to correct reporting deficiencies or modifying recordkeeping practices. Union officials and key employees are afforded an opportunity to express their positions and concerns at that time. In unusual circumstances, if the union presents additional information that was not available during the audit itself, the investigator may review the information and revise the findings if warranted.
