The archdiocese has been found in compliance with all audited articles within the U.S. Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People for the 2015-2016 audit period.
StoneBridge Business Partners of Rochester performed the on-site audit of the archdiocese Dec. 7-8, according to Edward Mechmann, director of the archdiocesan Safe Environment Program.
The conclusions are based upon inquiry, observation and review of specifically requested documentation to StoneBridge during the audit.
“It’s a real testament to how significant the charter has been to us,” and how committed both Cardinal Dolan and his predecessor, the late Cardinal Edward Egan, have been to it.
“It’s a very gratifying accomplishment,” Mechmann added. “It was a serious, good audit.”
