Internal Audit
Internal
Audit provides audit, tax, and advisory services to University
departments and auxiliary organizations, and assists University
management and staff to improve administrative operations by:
conducting and reporting on reviews of operational and financial
activities and on special investigations of improper governmental
activities;
coordinating preparations for and responses to
external audits; making recommendations to establish new or change
existing policies and procedures to strengthen internal controls,
implement best practices, and manage resources more effectively;
providing research, analysis, advice, and information on
administrative, financial, and regulatory issues; coordinating the
University's tax program, including nonresident alien taxation; and maintaining the Policies and Procedures Guide on the Web.
Internal Audit Services in the CSU environment serve the following purposes:
· Protect University Assets,
· Ensure Records are Accurate,
· Promote Operational Efficiency, and
· Encourage Adherence to Policies
Who Is Responsible for Internal Controls?
"Everyone plays a part in the CSU's internal control system. Ultimately it's CSU management's responsibility to ensure that controls are in place. That responsibility is delegated to each area of operation. Every employee has some responsibility for making this internal control system function. Therefore, all CSU employees need to be aware of the concept and purpose of internal controls." CSU
