Last Tuesday's Tucson Sentinel:
Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the self-styled audit, said the team will submit its report to the Senate by the end of the week.
The Senate will then have the option of suggesting modifications before the final report is issued. The audit team will submit a
separate report, also by Friday, on the machine tally it conducted to count the number of ballots cast in the general election.
Fann
tweeted on Monday that the audit team is preparing its draft report. She wrote that the Senate’s team will review the report
“for accuracy and clarity” before the final report is released to the public. It’s unclear when the final report will be available to the public.
The team that conducted the troubled review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County - led by Cyber Ninjas, an unknown cybersecurity company out of Florida - will present a draft report of its findings to Senate President Karen Fann by Friday.

After the (f)auditors finished up their count in June the Senate hired their own person to check the discrepancy between the county's and audit's numbers. This was back when the Senate's main liasion Ken Bennett pushed for and spoke with some independent concerns which got him barred from the building.
The Cyber Ninja's lawyer stepped down from his position of representing them so that he could be hired by the Arizona Senate to perform this task.
Up now is a battle between the county and state senate concerning the $2.8 million cost of new voting machines. Back before the machines were turned over the Senate president signed an indemnification agreement to reimburst the county for any cost if the machines were damaged, altered or compromised. Sounds like the Senate will argue the Ninjas did nothing to the machines and the county will contend the Cyber Ninjas handling of the machines lacked transparency causing loss of their certification.
