We re-derived a published figure from the public record.
California's State Auditor issued 1,400 recommendations across 173 reports; agencies implemented 1,146 — 82 percent, and the division reconciles exactly. The remaining 254 equal 1,400 − 1,146 to the digit: every unimplemented recommendation has been open past the one-year statutory clock. Meanwhile the high-risk list shows what persistence looks like: information security, designated in 2013, still scores 1.6 of 4.0 against the state's own 2.0 baseline — thirteen years on.
The situation
A closure rate that reconciles, and a risk list that doesn't move.
A legislative budget subcommittee uses the audit office's own tracking to inform appropriations: recommendations are tracked on a fixed statutory schedule (60 days, 6 months, 1 year), and agencies unimplemented after a year must explain themselves to the Legislature.
We entered the office's published counts and its December 2025 high-risk assessment, and had the report reconcile the closure rate, verify the statutory-tail identity, and compute years-on-list for each persistent issue.
What we supplied
Only public inputs — each one sourced.
Inputs come from the auditor's implementation report (status as of November 2023) and its high-risk assessment (December 2025).
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Reports issued, Nov 2016 – Oct 2022 | 173 | CSA 2023-041 |
| Recommendations issued | 1,400 | CSA 2023-041 |
| Fully implemented | 1,146 (82%) | CSA 2023-041 |
| Unimplemented > 1 year | 254 | CSA 2023-041 |
| High-risk list (Dec 2025) | 8 items (Social Services newly added) | CSA 2025-601 |
| Info security: designated / score | 2013 / 1.6 of 4.0 (baseline 2.0) | CSA 2025-601 |

Reconcile
Our output vs. the published figures.
| Metric | Published | Ours (computed) | Match | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closure rate | 82% (CSA) | 1,146 ÷ 1,400 = 81.86% | ✓ exact | Matches the published rounding |
| The statutory tail | 254 recommendations > 1 year old | 1,400 − 1,146 = 254, exactly | ✓ exact | Every unimplemented recommendation in the window is past the statutory clock |
| Years on the high-risk list | Designation years (CSA table) | Info security 13 years; Health Care Services & IT oversight 19 years | ✓ exact | Derived from published designation years |
Per-recommendation days-to-remediate and the three-interval compliance rate live on per-report tracking pages that weren't extracted — disclosed rather than sampled loosely. The maturity gap (1.6 vs the state's own 2.0 baseline) is presented as the state grading itself below its own standard after 13 years.
