B. The County, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Office of the Inspector General, and the State of California, shall have the right to monitor, and/or evaluate all conditions and activities in the Agreement and to investigate and audit all records, books, papers, or documents related to the conduct of programs funded by the County. C.
