Empowering campus units to evaluate their internal control environment.
Campus units are responsible for establishing internal controls that keep operations aligned with financial goals, support the unit's mission, safeguard resources, and minimize risk. These controls help achieve objectives in three areas: compliance, accountability, and protection of university assets. While some controls are set at the institutional level, each unit must implement effective internal controls tailored to its operations. Understanding and supporting institutional controls—and strengthening those within your unit—are essential for success.
We encourage CAOs, unit heads, and department management to use the internal control self-assessment questionnaires provided below to evaluate their control environment and identify opportunities for improvement consistent with sound business practices.
