The State Audit of CPRT
In November 1993 the State of California Office of the State
Auditor initiated an audit of UCSF which was directed at the
department of medicine and included CPRT. The State audit was
precipitated by allegations of noncompliance with university
policy leveled against the department of medicine.
Harry Cordon, director of audit and management services at
UCSF, was responsible for all interaction with the Office of
State Auditor during its conduct of the audit. UCSF was
concerned about certain procedures being employed during the
State audit and retained Coopers & Lybrand to perform a shadow
audit. During both the State audit and the Coopers & Lybrand
audit, petitioner made herself available and expended a great
deal of time and effort providing information requested by the
auditors. At no time during the audits did Harry Cordon believe
petitioner’s position at UCSF was in jeopardy or that she should
be concerned about her employment with UCSF. In fact, petitioner
received continued assurances during the audits that her position
was secure with the CPRT, and in June 1994, USCF extended
petitioner’s contract as director of CPRT through June 1995. The
State’s audit report was made public in November 1994.
