2008 Self-Assessment of Controls for
University of Tennessee, Chattanooga (UTC)
You have been asked by your campus/institute chief business officer to complete the questionnaire below. This questionnaire provides information necessary for the university to comply with the Tennessee Financial Integrity Act of 1983. A summary of the results for the UT system will be reported to the state by the president of the university.
It is very important that the questions are answered honestly and objectively to give your department the most accurate advice for improving internal controls. Departments may be audited to establish the reliability of responses.
For 2008, this self-assessment will review the internal controls for two areas: (1) human resources/payroll and (2) inventories. Before you begin the questionnaire, please read all of the instructions below.
