Which statement about the auditing of records for recertification is incorrect?

The statement that failure to notify the department of a current mailing address absolves the certificant from audit requirements is incorrect. In the context of auditing for recertification, it is crucial for certificants to maintain accurate contact information with the department. If a certificant fails to update their mailing address, they may still be subject to audit requirements, as it is the responsibility of the certificant to ensure that the department has the most current information. Not maintaining proper communication does not exempt them from the regulations and requirements governing recertification. Hence, auditors can still require compliance and perform audits regardless of the individual's failure to keep their address updated.
