A Report on The Fiscal Year 2002 University Accreditation Reviews
April 2002
Report Number 02-036
Overall Conclusion
The State Auditor's Office published six accreditation review reports in fiscal year 2002. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires these financial reviews as a part of its university accreditation process. The universities may choose to have this work done by the State Auditor's Office or by an independent CPA firm.
Key Facts and Findings
- We perform these accreditation reviews in conjunction with the internal
audit departments of the universities.
- The internal audit departments prepare summarized financial statements and
supporting information.
- The State Auditor's Office reviews the information provided and determines
whether the financial information is appropriately presented and supported.
- This approach is cost-efficient for the universities and provides the State Auditor's Office with opportunities to review the accounting systems used by the various universities.
