Report 2012-117: State Athletic Commission: Its Ongoing Administrative Struggles Call Its Future Into Question (Release Date: March 2013)

Recommendation #6 To: Athletic Commission, State

To ensure that it adequately tracks critical information related to its basic functions and mission, the commission should ensure that its system for tracking the number of events, the inspectors it assigns to events, and its revenues and expenditures is compatible with the online program Consumer Affairs is developing so that it may easily import this information into the new program when it is complete.

Annual Follow-Up Agency Response From September 2014

Consumer Affairs has assured the Commission that the licensing database we are using is Breeze compliant. The inspector tracking spreadsheet is similar, and we plan to work with Consumer Affairs once the Athletic Commission begins transitioning to the new online database system and ensure that the information migrates without problems.

I am aware this is the same response as in April, however, I have no new information to provide. The Commission is in phase 3 of the Breeze rollout and the implementation of Breeze has been delayed. The Commission still is using the spreadsheet that is Breeze compliant.

California State Auditor's Assessment of Annual Follow-Up Status: Fully Implemented


1-Year Agency Response

Until the commission fully transitions to Consumer Affairs' online program and is able to demonstrate that its system is compatible with Consumer Affairs' online program, we will continue to report the status of this recommendation as pending.
