Ghost finding
A problem the audit describes in its own narrative but never records as a finding. Found it, then left it off the record.
What the audit said
GHOST FINDING — a problem found and fixed during the audit but never recorded as a finding. The report states Oakdale 'now compiles monthly reports' meeting the subd. 5 public-log requirement and that 'as a result of this audit' the department 'is now in compliance with this part of the statute' — meaning it was out of compliance until the auditor showed up. Final report: compliant, no findings recorded. Rated as no findings because that is what the report records. See FinePrint feed: The ghost findings of Minnesota's ALPR audits.
FinePrint notes
First ALPR audit on file for this agency. Located via LRL mandated-reports search.
Recorded findings appear in green because a finding is evidence the auditor actually examined the program. A report with nothing at all appears in red.
Every agency operating an ALPR in Minnesota must arrange an independent audit every two years under Minn. Stat. § 13.824, subd. 6.
