From the Vice President for Finance and Management
The New York State Governmental Accountability, Audit and Internal Control Act, Chapter 510 of the Laws of 1999, requires that all state agencies institute a formal internal control program. As a primary component of the program, SUNY has identified a number of high-risk areas for periodic review, and the general control environment is included in this group.
A small number of Buffalo State community members will be contacted during the next few weeks by an auditor we have engaged for testing controls. If you are selected for interview, you will be asked questions concerning policies, procedures, and business practices for your area. You may also be asked to provide documentation to substantiate your responses. Please respond honestly and to the best of your knowledge, as the results of this process will assist us in identifying any institutional gaps where internal controls can be strengthened.
I encourage your review of Buffalo State’s Internal Control Program website for additional information and welcome any questions you may have. If you have any questions concerning this audit, please contact Rebecca Schenk, director of budget and internal controls, ext. 4312.
Thank you for your assistance in this process.
