STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1418-12

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   H.C.R. No. 183

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 183 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO PERFORM A FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE AUDIT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Auditor to perform a financial and performance audit of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) and to submit their results, including any necessary proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than 20 days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2013.

 

     The DCCA has recently accepted a sub-standard internal audit from an agency under their purview and the total cost of this alleged sub-standard audit amounted to $80,000.  A financial and performance audit would assure the State and the public that these funds are being spent appropriately and that financial accountability is transparent in both quasi-governmental and state agencies.

 

     The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs offered comments on this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 183 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
