CIRM Response on Audit

Earlier this afternoon we asked Don Gibbons, chief communications officer for CIRM, if the agency had any comment on the state controller's audit(see item below). Here is his response.

"We are thrilled that the auditor found that our policies and procedures are working. The one minor issue related to specialists who call in to assist in grant review and signed conflict forms prior to the call, but not afterward, and that fix was put in place already at the April 9-11 grant review session."
