Audit questions foster care compliance with state settlement
A state audit released this week questions how well the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services complied with settlement terms in the latter half of 1998. The audit found SRS in compliance on 17 of 49 monitored items, about 35 percent, while a top SRS official acknowledged some areas worsened in late 1998 but said steps are being taken to identify and fix problems. Legislators remain puzzled by mixed assessments from the department and the audit.
