New resources available from Office of Audit and Consulting Services

Sept. 1, 2020

The Statewide Office of Audit and Consulting Services is excited to announce a series of resource materials which were developed and added to our website. 

One set of materials consists of self-assessment questionnaires for common business functions.  These are not intended to encompass all internal controls applicable to each UA process, but they can serve as a solid starting point in evaluating the strength of your department’s internal controls.  We encourage you to discuss any questions that arise with your area leadership, but we are happy to assist with answering questions as well.

We hope to develop additional questionnaires this year.  If you have suggestions for additional topics or revisions for the existing questionnaires, please contact Nikki Pittman at nlpittman@alaska.edu.

The second resource contains general guidance for internal controls in a pandemic situation.  This is intended to recognize the unexpected changes which work environments can face during a pandemic such as COVID-19.  Subsequently, the organization’s response to the unexpected situation can unintentionally leave organizational assets vulnerable to loss, theft, misuse, or damage.

We hope the UA campuses are staying safe and healthy.
