In the University's new era of accountability, each department or business
unit administrator should periodically assess the internal control
and fraud susceptibility environment of their area of responsibility.
A self assessment checklist is linked below that can be used to
guide the assessment process. It is in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format.
Keep
in mind that this is not a complete list of everything to be considered,
but rather a guide to the more common internal controls and fraud
potential considerations. Department and business unit administrators
should use it as a starting point to assess their areas, not as
a total assessment.
We
encourage you to print and complete a copy of the checklist. This
will provide you with a baseline assessment of the internal control
structure in your area of responsibility.
