Completion of audits was slowed as a result of the Commission being short-staffed for several months. With three new staff hired in April and May, it is anticipated that the target will be reached by the end of the calendar year 2013 and will remain stable thereafter. * Data edited 8/22/14 to reflect accurate numbers.
2014
82.00
The closure of one processing plan and the pending closure of another delayed completion of audits due to the increased attention required to verify production information was accurate. Information provided to the Milk Commission by the plants that assumed the production volume was incorrect or omitted important figures. In order to minimize the risk of re-audit, more attention was focused on correcting the necessary figures. This delayed the overall audit process.

One processing company began using a new inventory management program at three of its plants beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014. Accurate numbers for those plants were delayed approximately six months. This delay caused several audits to miss the fiscal year deadline by about a month.
