Alaska State Agencies Struggle with Non-Compliance

Alaska state agencies face a surge in non-compliance issues, with 85 instances reported in the latest audit, nearly doubling from a decade ago. Factors such as lack of experience, high turnover, vacant positions, and insufficient training contribute to this rise. Departments like the Division of Public Assistance, Office of Children’s Services, and Department of Corrections struggle with these problems. The Department of Corrections, for instance, overspent by $8 million last year. Governor Mike Dunleavys spokesperson disputes the audits findings, attributing some to interpretation disagreements.
