Section 1500.400  Sampling Procedures

a)         The state central repositories shall audit a statistically significant random sample of the records they maintain for accuracy and completeness by comparing them with the source documents.  Such audits shall be conducted at least once a year, documented as described in Section 1500.300(c) above, and retained for at least one year for audit by the Authority.

b)         The state central repositories shall audit a representative sample of local criminal justice agencies chosen on a random basis for compliance with state and federal laws.  Such audits shall be conducted on a continuous basis, documented as described in Section 1500.300(c) above, and retained for at least one year for audit by the Authority.  A "representative sample" as used in this subsection means a statistically significant number of criminal justice agencies varying by type, geographic location and size (expressed by population served) so as to fairly depict a cross-section of the criminal justice agencies found in the state.
