Audit Record Form (suggested for use with Section 16432 audits)

An audit record is sufficiently detailed to “verify compliance with the requirements of Chapter”1, Public Works, of Part 7 of Division 2, when the audit record displays that the following procedures were accomplished:

(1) Audits of the obligation to secure workers' compensation means demanding written evidence of a binder issued by the carrier, or telephone or written inquiry to the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau;

(2) Audits of the obligations to employ and train apprentices means inquiry to the program sponsor for the apprenticeable craft or trade in the area of the public works as to: whether contract award information was received, including an estimate of journeyperson hours to be performed and the number of apprentices to be employed; whether apprentices have been requested, and whether the request has been met; whether the program sponsor knows of any amounts sent by the contractor or subcontractor to it for the training trust, or the California Apprenticeship Council; and whether persons listed on the certified payroll in that craft or trade as being paid less than the journeyperson rate are apprentices registered with that program and working under apprentice agreements approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards;

(3) Audits of the obligation to pass through amounts made part of the bid for apprenticeship training contributions, to either the training trust or the California Apprenticeship Council, means asking for copies of checks sent, or when the audit occurs more than 30 days after the month in which payroll has been paid, copies of canceled checks;

(4) Audits of “illegal taking of wages” means inspection of written authorizations for deductions (listed in Labor Code Section 224) in the contractor or subcontractor's files and comparison to wage deduction statements furnished employees (Labor Code Section 226), together with an interview of several employees as to any payments not shown on the wage deduction statements;

(5) Audits of the obligation to keep records of working hours, and pay not less than required by Title 8 CCR Section 16200(a)(3)(F) for hours worked in excess of 8 hours are the steps for review and audit of Certified Weekly Payrolls under Title 8 CCR Section 16432;

(6) Audits of the obligations to pay the prevailing per diem wage, means such steps for review and audit of Certified Weekly Payrolls which will produce a report covering compliance in the areas of:

(A) All elements defined as the “General Prevailing Rate of Per Diem Wages” in Title 8 CCR Section 16000, which were determined to be prevailing in the Director's determination which was in effect on the date of the call for bids, available in its principal office, and posted;
