The board shall develop a schedule and common methodology for conducting these audits.

(c) The draft work plan may include a list of agencies, programs, or systems to be audited on a time line decided by the board based on a number of factors including risk, importance, and citizen concerns. All audits shall be designed to be completed within a six-month period.

(d) Before adopting the final work plan, the board shall consult with the legislative auditor and other appropriate oversight and audit entities to coordinate work plans and avoid duplication of effort in their planned performance audits of state government agencies. The board shall defer to the joint legislative audit and review committee work plan if a similar audit is included on both work plans for auditing.

(e) The state auditor shall contract with qualified independent evaluators to conduct the performance audits included in the final work plan approved by the board. In conducting the audits, the independent evaluator may consult with agency front-line employees and internal auditors.
