A Review of Management Controls at the University of Houston System
Report Number 95-015
Management at the University of Houston System generally has established management controls to fulfill the System component missions. A financial analysis of the System components provided no indications that management was expending funds inappropriately.
Recent strategic planning activities have focused the direction of the System overall, strengthened cohesiveness among the System components, and improved internal management and fiscal processes.
The University of Houston System could improve by strengthening monitoring and assessment activities of some functions and processes. These improvements are needed in order to effectively determine if goals and intentions of the System and its components are being met.
For fiscal year 1993, the combined revenues for the University of Houston System totaled $401.7 million.

The combined expenditures of the System for fiscal year 1993 totaled $303 million, with academic instruction accounting for $132.5 million (or 43.7 percent) of these expenditures.
