To communicate the University's objectives and to establish standards for the design and operation of the University's system of internal control. The reliability which the University can place upon its financial records is dependent upon the effectiveness of the procedures and controls which are adopted to ensure that the results of transaction processing are reflected accurately, consistently and completely in those records. Controls must ensure also that assets are not exposed to unauthorized access and use. Management has the responsibility to establish and maintain an adequate system of internal control and to furnish to the Trustees of the University, governmental agencies, University creditors and other constituencies reliable financial information on a timely basis. An adequate system of internal control is necessary for management to discharge these responsibilities.
