California Public Records Act (CPRA) for Auditors
What does California Public Records Act (CPRA) require of a Auditor?
California Public Records Act (CPRA) gives every person a right to inspect and copy California state and local agency records, subject to specific exemptions, with duplication cost limits, a 10-day/14-day determination timeline, a duty to assist requesters, electronic-records rules, a critical-incident video/audio recording disclosure regime, and judicial enforcement by writ of mandate. Under California Public Records Act (CPRA), which defines 8 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
