Regulatory
A Financial Review of The Workers' Compensation Commission
March 2002
Report Number 02-027
Overall Conclusion
The Legislature and other oversight bodies can rely on the Workers' Compensation Commission's financial information.
Key Facts and Findings
- The Commission spends appropriated funds in accordance with the General
Appropriations Act and other applicable state laws and regulations. Furthermore,
expenditures and outcomes are in alignment with Commission goals related to
safe and healthy workplaces and dispute resolution. There is no direct relationship
between strategy expenditures and all outcomes for the Commission's goal related
to benefits and delivery. This is reasonable because strategy expenditures
do not directly affect all of the outcomes for this goal.
- We also noted some issues the Commission should address even though they
do not affect the reliability of its financial information or the appropriateness
of its expenditures. The Commission is not referring past-due accounts to
the Office of the Attorney General as often as required by statute. In addition,
provisions for two business process improvement plan contracts were not sufficient.
