Approach

Purchasing Card Audit Services adheres to a continuous auditing approach, where transactions are reviewed on a monthly basis. Our approach is to provide more frequent, timelier analyses to better manage and address risks to the Purchasing Card Program. Our goal is to improve both quality and coverage of our audit procedures, while increasing efficiency and supporting compliance with the program.

In addition to performing monthly audit procedures, our auditors are responsible for issuing all non-compliance notifications, regularly updating findings and trends identified to Finance and the university community with the Administrative Leadership Group (ALG), performing all closed purchasing card audits, and supporting all other special review requests in relation to the program.
