Financial Controls Workshop

The Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) has recently established a new policy on Internal Controls that pertains to all ASU employees. The ABOR policy states that all employees are responsible for understanding and following sound controls practices with respect to ASU financial transactions and assets. The Workshop will be held periodically throughout the year at various locations across all four campuses.

Course Description - The ASU Financial Controls Workshop is designed to provide resources and information geared toward employees with accounting and/or purchasing duties in ASU’s academic, research & administrative departments. If you have already attended Financial Services’ Business Administrator Symposium, you do not need to attend this workshop.
