The Problem With no defined reporting structure or chain of command in place, this was sure to raise yet another red flag on Victor’s medical practice’s upcoming audit (see Business Parts Analysis—Case Study).

The lack of organizational design indicated that work is performed willy nilly. Unknown Reporting Structure Previous Audit Citations Copyright © 2007—2016. Equilibria, Inc.
