day on site time commitment
Minimal additional prep time for combined,
prep time less than separate reviews
Stress, over in 3 days rather than two

Combined pre and post review conferences
Team Survey Results/Comments
Overall positive experience
IFTA and IRP administrative reviews
remain separate.
Audit review more efficient with the changes
made to the worksheets following the
Minnesota review.
It was recommended that the team do
Review cross training on the IFTA and IRP
Administrative side while in Oregon
