PHOENIX A recent audit shows the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix is following sex-abuse prevention policies.
The examination assessed compliance with the U-S Conference of Catholic Bishops' Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
The Phoenix diocese had a half dozen priests and former priests indicted on sexual abuse charges in 2003.
Auditors who examined the Phoenix diocese in early December found Bishop Thomas Olmsted has a policy for meeting with victims of sex abuse but hasn't had to do so.
No allegations were made between the latest audit and one conducted in November 2003.
