Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Wholly disagrees: two employees left in approximately seven months after full pay resumed, compared with three during furloughs; says only employees know their motives.

Audit analysis

Gives turnover counts but does not resolve the denied COLA component or establish why people left. Counts are agency assertions, not independently verified retention evidence.

Finding-response score

Document completeness and usefulness—not factual verification or a legal conclusion.
