Audits by this auditor
Agreed-upon procedures engagement under AICPA attestation standards; no exceptions noted on any of the 8 procedures. OSA inspected PIPS hit data, the audit trail and data request log for 2020-2021 (four staff searches, all with documented purposes; no data shared with outside agencies; no exports observed), the log of use, user access roles, and the 2-day retention practice. GHOST FINDING: the report's own narrative notes the State Patrol's policies do not designate who may grant written access authorization as Minn. Stat. 13.824, subd. 7(b) requires (practice relies on the Director of Operations and Asset Management), yet the procedure was closed with no exception recorded. A policy-documentation gap, superficial in tier, but described and left off the record.
