The Audit Quality team at the PREA Resource Center/Impact Justice performs ongoing Quality Improvement (QI) Reviews with certified DOJ auditors. The QI process has been largely on hold while DOJ has been working to change/update the QI process, and mirror this with disciplinary actions for auditors who need QI interventions. Therefore, to date, there have only been QI interventions with the PRC Field Training Auditors to assist them with implementing updated report writing, and auditing techniques while consulting with the PRC during the Field Training Program. The full QI process plans to re-boot beginning August 2017.
Between January 1st and June 30th 2017, there have been a total of 5 QI Reviews completed. All 5 QI reviews were completed in the month of March 2017 with the Field Training Advisors currently under contract with the PRC.
