CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, FORENSIC ACCOUNTING SERVICES

During 1997, we performed an audit of open CHP worker's compensation claims adjusted by the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF). We identified, researched, and reconciled numerous claims that had been open longer than necessary resulting in service fee over-charges to the CHP. We also evaluated a sample of litigated claims to assess SCIF's claim management services. As a result of our work, the CHP immediately recovered over $300,000, and anticipated significant additional recoveries in the future.
