In compliance with the New York State Governmental Accountability, Audit and Internal Control Act of 1999, the campus Internal Control Program ensures that Buffalo State not only meets its obligations to external entities, but also provides a supportive and responsive environment that facilitates the achievement of institutional goals and enables individual programs to become more effective.

The objectives of Buffalo State’s Internal Control Program are:

• Successful achievement of the college’s mission.
• Accurate recording, preservation, and reporting of institutional data.
• Efficient and effective use of program resources.
• Appropriate safeguarding and authorized use of assets.
• College compliance with laws, regulations, policies, procedures, and guidelines.

It is the expectation of New York’s Office of the State Comptroller that all members of the Buffalo State College community be aware of the provisions of the Internal Control Program and participate in its success. To that end, members of the Internal Control Steering Committee are actively engaged in program oversight, and the work of the committee will ensure campus adherence to program guidelines. Please recognize the significance of this program when contacted, or when program changes occur in your area that may affect internal controls. Successful internal controls are everyone’s responsibility.

If you have questions regarding the Internal Control Program, please contact Rebecca Schenk, director of budget and internal controls, at 878-4312.
