One responsibility required of the Internal Control Program is to implement education and training efforts to ensure that employees have adequate awareness and understanding of internal control standards and evaluation techniques.
The Internal Control Officer worked with each campus unit in the fall of 2005 to train the managers on internal controls as part of the process of assessing its vulnerability to risks. On-going education and training is directed at staff, middle managers and executive management.
The intention of this current on-going training process is to enhance each employee’s understanding and awareness of internal controls and the part that he or she plays in the University’s Internal Control Program. Employees are divided into two groups based on their job responsibilities on campus: managers (for all Deans, department chairs, Directors, supervisors or administrative office managers) and Employees. Both groups are expected to participate in either a live or online training session every two years.
