Division of OIG Audits

External Audits Division performs periodic audits of the accounts and records of local health departments and private vendors who provide health care services which are funded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.  The purpose of the audits is to provide DHMH Administrations with independent assurance of vendor compliance to contract provisions and the existence of adequate financial controls as well as to determine any amounts due to the Department. 

The mission of the External Audit Unit is to conduct audits of vendors receiving funding from the Department and to ensure State funds are expended and reported in accordance with contract provisions, laws, regulations, generally accepted accounting principles, and the Human Services Agreements Manual.  Through audits a determination is made of amounts that may be due to the Department or the vendor.
