What term describes the process of reviewing and verifying the quality of a program's components after implementation?

• A. Action plans
• B. Outcome research
• C. Program audit
• D. Job descriptions

Answer: (C)

This item tests how quality is checked after a program has been implemented. A program audit is a systematic review and verification of a program’s components, processes, and outputs to ensure they meet established standards and are functioning as intended. It involves examining records, procedures, and data to confirm delivery matches plans and to identify gaps or deviations so improvements can be made. Action plans are the steps you plan to take to implement changes; outcome research looks at the results the program produces; job descriptions define roles and responsibilities. Because auditing directly addresses post-implementation quality and compliance, it is the term that fits.
