Report LA96-30

Results in Brief

The Office of Historic Preservation has established controls over grants management to ensure compliance with budgetary, accounting, and federal requirements. The Office complied with laws and regulations significant to the financial administration of state agencies, except for provisions governing employee performance evaluations.

Principal Findings

The Office did not always prepare performance evaluations for its classified employees in accordance with state law. Our examination determined that two employees did not receive annual evaluations, one employee did not receive 3rd and 7th month probationary evaluations, and one employee did not receive a 7th month probationary evaluation. After we informed the Office of the finding, the Office developed procedures to ensure evaluations are prepared. Consequently, this report contains no recommendations. (page 8)
