Financial Control Resources

We want you to think of the Financial Controls division of ASU Financial Services as a source of information for helping your department operate in step with the New American University . We have provided some resources for Business Administrators, in both academic and non-academic departments, to use as they see fit. These include some general control questionnaires that relate to various business functions of any department, as well as some that may apply only to departments with certain activities. These are often referred to as Internal Control Questionnaires (ICQ's). After you have completed any ICQ's relevant to your department, we would be happy to provide any guidance or training with respect to your results.

We have also provided a generic publication called “Standards of Internal Control” for you to review if interested. These standards, as well as the ICQ's, have been compiled from general controls/compliance/auditing knowledge relevant to the corporate and university realms.

As a Business Administrator or responsible managing party for your area, these resources are meant to be just that. You are under no obligation to memorize, complete, or certify to the ICQ's or Standards, or any answers or questions that may result after reviewing the information and applying it to your department . However, if you do have questions or concerns as a result of utilizing these resources, please don't hesitate to call us at 480-965-2343. You can also email us at: financialcontrols@asu.edu
