FISCAL MANAGEMENT SUB-CERTIFICATION PROCESS

Annually, each Account Administrator should provide a fiscal management sub-certification to the Financial Reporting Officer- the Associate Vice President for Financial Affairs.

The fiscal management sub-certification certifies that, among other items, their accounts are being reconciled timely, duties are properly segregated and no material weakness exists relative to their internal control.

Account administrators failing to complete the sub-certification are reported to their respective Vice President, Auditing & Consulting Services, and Assistant Vice President Financial Affairs/University Controller.

The Office of Institutional Compliance & Risk Services utilizes administrator responses (or lack thereof) when performing the annual risk assessment to determine account administrators selected for Quality Assurance Reviews (QAR).
