Rule 665-2-12-.04 - Compliance Reviews(1) GTA shall be responsible for compliance reviews on technology purchasing practices at all agencies. The purpose of the compliance review shall be for determining if an agency is complying with GTA's purchasing statutes and rules adopted thereunder, and whether it should continue having the same level of delegation, have it reduced, or if it qualifies for an increase. A copy of the compliance report shall be provided to the agency's executive officer, and the State CIO.(2) GTA staff may enter the premises and obtain an agency's purchasing records for the purpose of the compliance review. The agency shall cooperate with GTA staff, providing them with requested records, adequate office space for conducting the review and agency purchasing staff for discussion of purchase transactions. GTA shall not unnecessarily require of the agency any more than is needed to complete the review.(3) The CIO may lower, or raise if requested, an agency's general delegation if the results of a compliance review by the compliance staff of GTA merit such action as determined by the CIO. The CIO may lower the delegation to any level, including the complete removal of the delegation, depending on the nature of any violations found.(4) The CIO or his designee shall provide to each agency, upon request, GTA's assistance in educational training for the agency's staff to better acquaint them with GTA's purchasing statutes and rules.Ga.
