Sec.46a-68-8. Compliance reviews

(a) Conduct of compliance reviews. The department will conduct regular reviews of apprenticeship programs to insure compliance with these regulations. Compliance reviews shall be of two types:

(1) A regular audit of each sponsor's program to be conducted as often as department resources and personnel allow, but not more than once in any 12-month period.

(2) A special audit to be conducted when the department has reason to believe such review is warranted. In both cases, the program sponsor will be notified at least one week in advance of the audit so that a mutually convenient appointment can be arranged.

(b) Where a compliance review indicates that the sponsor is not operating in accordance with this regulation, the department shall notify the sponsor in writing of the results of the review and make a reasonable effort to secure voluntary compliance on the part of the program sponsor within a reasonable time before undertaking sanctions under section 46a-68-12. In case of sponsors seeking new registration, the department will provide appropriate recommendations to the sponsor to enable it to achieve compliance for recognition purposes.
