LANSING, Mich. — Thursday, the Office of Auditor General is presenting a performance report on the Children's Protective Services.
All eyes are expected to be on the report because of the past struggles the services have had in Michigan.
This report is important because past reports on Child Protective Services have found the agency had dropped the ball on several things.
That includes failing to complete criminal background checks of parents with histories of abuse.
Just last fall, the state audit found that CPS didn't meet all state requirements for it's investigation.
It also failed to investigate at least one instance of abuse and neglect of a child.
Back in December, Governor Rick Snyder's administration said improvements had been made to the state's Child Protective Services Agency.
That came after the report in the fall.
The governor appointed a team to conduct a review following the September audit release.
Since then, CPS has created a portal to boost a supervisor's ability to verify completion of abuse and neglect investigation requirements.
It also has made it easier for caseworkers to better document steps taken in an investigation.
The governor also made a request to the state legislature to approve funding, so Michigan can hire more caseworkers and supervisors.
That report expected to be released around 10:30 Thursday morning.
