Business and Financial Affairs launches new internal controls Web site

The Business and Financial Affairs division at WWU has launched its Internal Controls Office Web site, which can be accessed at http://www.wwu.edu/depts/fs/InternalControls/index.shtml.

The site spotlights information about internal controls, internal control red flags (unrelated to identity theft red flags), the internal control officer, recommendations for safeguarding confidential information, and helpful links.

A featured item of merit is the Internal Control Vulnerability Risk Assessment. This tool can help offices improve operational efficiencies. It can be completed at office staff members' convenience; they would simply need to call the Internal Control Office and ask about taking the assessment.
