Here's an audit to be grateful for--really!

W hen most people hear the word "audit" a chill comes over them, their heart skips a beat, and panic sets in. But unlike the IRS, the Office of University Audit is not here to put fear into the hearts of the University community--it's here to help.

With a staff of seven professionals of diverse experience, educational credentials, and professional certifications, the Office of University Audit has the operational and financial knowledge and advisory recommendations that can help a department manage operations more efficiently and effectively. During an audit, the staff identifies opportunities to strengthen internal controls, reduce costs, and improve operating efficiencies. The staff also tests for compliance with internal policies and external regulations. To accomplish these goals, they work closely with senior management, Finance, the Office of University Counsel, and the University's external auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick. This exposure provides a broad perspective that can be applied to any University department.

Common audit requests include sponsored program compliance, reviews of operations and procedures, suspicion of fraudulent activity, and information technology controls. To find out more, call Director Holly Crawford, x5-2291. Or, check out the office's Web site at http://listener.uis.rochester.edu/audit/. It offers valuable information on internal controls and answers frequently asked questions.
