Self-Assessment of Controls

Self-Assessment of Controls documents can be used by departments to perform a self-audit in the areas addressed to evaluate the adequacy of your department’s controls, or safeguards. Please note that this self-audit is not a comprehensive review of all internal controls associated with the topical areas. These are just general controls that apply to most departments. Your department may have an important vulnerability requiring internal controls not mentioned in the questionnaires. Also, it is very important to evaluate the suggested corrective actions in the context of other compensating controls your department may have. If the suggested corrective action requires significant additional resources, or if you question its applicability, please contact your campus/institute auditor for advice before you implement changes.
