Post-Audit Action
On December 16, 2019, after our fieldwork ended and in response to an informal conference in which we discussed our preliminary recommendations with the agency, DFG published two policies to address our recommendations:
- “Compliance with the Commonwealth’s Third-Party Information Security Standard”
- “Protocol for Approving Changes to Fees for [Division of Fisheries and Wildlife] and DMF Licenses to Be Charged through MassFishHunt or DMF’s Fish System”
