Why won't Martinez insist upon an audit of the APS?

Governor Susana Martinez has made it clear that she thinks APS is wasting educational funding. APS Supt Winston Brooks et al, claim they are spending efficiently and effectively.

A simple solution to their disagreement is an independent audit. An independent audit would determine which is to be believed.

We know why Brooks and the APS are avoiding an audit like the plague; any honest and impartial audit of the administration of the APS would reveal;

1. inadequate standards,
2. inadequate accountability, and
3. inadequate record keeping.

We know that because those are the findings of every audit
ever done on the administrations of the APS.

Which begs a question, why doesn't Martinez insist upon an independent audit as a token of good faith on the part of the APS?

It is a fair question since when asked if she would support independent reviews of agencies of state government; allowing "efficiency experts" to come into state agencies and evaluate their effectiveness and efficiency and then report to the public record, she answered;"Absolutely".

Perhaps, now that she has been elected, she is less interested
in impartial administrative audits, in particular in her own administration.

I have asked her office to respond to the following;

During the campaign, candidate Martinez was asked if she would "support independent reviews of agencies of state government; allowing "efficiency experts" to come into state agencies and evaluate their effectiveness and efficiency and then report to the public record?" She responded, "absolutely".

Does she still support independent audits? Has anything been done to start that process? and
Since the Governor is critical of APS administrative bloat, why will she not ask (publicly) for APS to commission an independent audit of its administration?
