Angelo State University
A Report on the Management Controls at Angelo State University
June 1998
Report Number 98-043
Overall Conclusion
Angelo State University (University) has a management control system in place to ensure that the University's resources are used as intended. The objective of this audit was to evaluate the existing management control systems within the University to identify strengths and weaknesses. While our work did not identify significant control weaknesses, we did note opportunities for improvement in management systems for financial aid, contracting, human resources, and fixed assets.
Key Facts and Findings
In addition, we noted several areas that we felt deserved recognition:
The University's Office of Technology has made significant efforts towards Year 2000 compliance. The University has contracted with the Disaster Recovery Center to use its mainframe, which is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Office of Technology reviewed all computers and software to determine compliance with Year 2000, and it implemented a plan to update all noncompliant computers and systems. Conversion of student records began in the fall of 1997, while conversion of the accounting system is planned for the summer of 1998.
In addition to the Management Control Audit, we performed a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) compliance audit. The University appears to be making a good-faith effort to use HUB contractors. The specific results of this work will be presented in a separate audit report.
