Tazewell County CPMT launches CSA self-assessment audit, reiterates OCS requirement for stakeholder participation
Loading...
Summary
The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team began the Children’s Services Act self-assessment audit March 10, 2025, setting an April 30 deadline and underscoring OCS guidance that all CSA stakeholders must participate in completing the Self-Assessment Workbook.
Michelle Brown, chair of the Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT), opened the March 10 meeting by moving the group to begin the county'wide CSA Program Self-Assessment Audit, with documents due to OCS by April 30, 2025.
The audit timeline and expectations were reiterated to members following a Feb. 21 virtual briefing with OCS. Brown said the county's CPMT, CSA coordinators, FAPT members, fiscal agents and utilization review staff are among the stakeholders OCS instructed to participate in completing the Self-Assessment Workbook.
Shanun Smith, Tazewell County fiscal assistant and the previous CSA coordinator, told the CPMT she has in the past completed the workbook herself when other members did not participate. "Due to members not willing to participate in completing the workbook in the past, she completed the workbook because it had to be done and she needed her job," Smith said.
CPMT members discussed the auditor's instructions and the requirement that the audit be submitted to OCS on the stated deadline. The committee scheduled follow-up work and will continue case-level reviews at its March 24 meeting to finish outstanding audit items.
The audit is intended to document local compliance and identify any corrective actions required by OCS; CPMT members were directed to participate in workbook completion and to coordinate with fiscal and UM/UR staff as necessary.
