Quick question to my esteemed colleagues. 

Have any of you been audited 3 years in a row?  I received an all too familiar letter from the CAATE in June informing me that our program was being audited.  I know from the standards that 10% of the programs are “randomly” selected annually.  Well, our program has been audited 3 years in a row and the auditing process has only been in existence for 4 years (as the letter indicates).  I have never been late with my annual report, which would automatically put me in the audit pool…so I am not sure what is going on.  There are 345 programs in the U.S.  certainly the odds of this program being “randomly” selected 3 years is a row rates up there with winning the lottery.  Is anyone else having this “random” experience?

This year’s audit is the same as the audit I submitted in 05/06.

I would appreciate any insights you might have.
