Second Shiley audit Subject: Second Shiley audit From: Brad Racino Date: 3/10/20, 11E29 AM To: rweinreb@ucsd.edu CC: dbrenner@ucsd.edu Good afternoon Dr. Weinreb and Dr. Brenner, I'm following up on my email from last week about the September 2019 AMAS audit of Shiley. In searching further back on the UC "reporting transparency" website, I found the 2012 Shiley audit. Its findings were very similar to what was uncovered in the 2019 audit. Dr. Weinreb: You have been Shiley's director since 2012, correct? How were all of the problems identified in the 2012 audit allowed to persist for so many years under your direction? Like the 2012 audit, the 2019 one found fault with Shiley's handling of conflict of commitment forms, transaction sampling, approval hierarchies, review of DOPE reports, Express Card expenditures, equipment inventories and cash controls. Dr. Brenner: When you read audits such as these, which document continuing problems at a department that is ultimately under your purview, is it concerning? Or is it par for the course? Did you ever take any action to fix these problems? I look forward to your responses. Thank you. -BRAD RACINO Senior Reporter & Assistant Director inewsource.org c. (845) 553-4170 t. @bradracino P.S.
