To Faculty and Staff:

As outlined in the College’s Internal Control Program, effective internal control systems are crucial to the College’s success in achieving its mission and goals. Our strong control systems, and the commitment of our employees have assisted the College in realizing its goals and successfully managing the challenges created by the pandemic.

We continue to improve our IT controls through multifactor authentication and phishing campaigns which help to protect us from cyber-attacks and security breaches. Our controls over fiscal operations have also been strengthened to ensure the College maintains its strong financial position. In addition, we look forward to expanding the assessment of our internal control systems through increased reviews conducted by our new Internal Control Officer and Compliance Coordinator, Paula Renda.

While the campus has demonstrated that it has an effective system of internal controls in place, we want to take this opportunity to remind you that should you suspect fraud, waste, abuse, or irregular activity within the campus community you can call the Fraud Hotline at 934-420-2083 or visit the fraud web page to anonymously report concerns.

I ask that you continue to join me in our commitment to internal controls, as they function most effectively with the cooperation of all employees.

If you have any questions regarding Internal Control, please contact Paula at 934-420-5688.
