Texas State Auditor's Office - Summary of Report 25-038

A Performance Audit

An Audit Report on Offboarding Processes at Selected State Agencies

August 2025

Overview

Audit Objectives

Both agencies audited had established offboarding processes for separating employees. However, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) had significant weaknesses in its offboarding processes for ensuring that state assets assigned to separating staff were documented as received and assigned back to TWC. In addition, the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) should improve its monitoring of compliance with its offboarding documentation requirements.
