Financial certification

Transparency in government promotes accountability and provides information to the public. At ASU, accountability is the responsibility of any employee who authorizes or conducts a transaction, enters or approves data into the financial system, reconciles accounts or works on budgets or reports on financial data.

To assess the status of financial and internal control responsibilities in ASU’s decentralized environment, we have developed content to support executive management’s assurances made to external auditors. The certification form below is mandatory for all financial administrators in Dean’s or Vice President’s offices, replacing the cash attestation and supplemental disclosure requirements from prior years. The deadline for complying with fiscal year reporting requirements is Aug. 31.

  • Financial certification statement.
  • Policy resource information. Further review of the various policy manuals may be warranted when completing this certification, or if questions arise in regular departmental operations. See policy manuals.

Email Financial Controls with questions or comments.

Internal control questionnaires

All of these ICQs are compilations of other questionnaires from various sources, including the Association of College and University Auditors, the Auditor General’s office of Arizona and other universities throughout the country.

Not all of these ICQs apply to each department. When completing the ICQs, answering no to a question may be okay, as long as there are other compensating controls present or if the cost of the control exceeds the benefit.

  • Budgeting and accounting.
  • Cash handling.
  • Centralized purchasing.
  • Control environment.
  • Departmental purchasing.
  • Gifts, grants and contracts.
  • Information and communication.
  • Inventory.
  • IT — application controls. 
  • IT — general controls. 
  • Monitoring.
  • Other revenue.
  • Personnel and payroll.
  • Petty cash.
  • Receivables.
  • Risk assessment.

Resources

We want you to think of the Financial Controls division as a source of information for helping your department operate in step with the New American University. We have provided some resources for ASU business administrators to use as they see fit. These include general control questionnaires that relate to various business functions of any department. Some may apply only to departments with certain activities. These can be found in the Internal Control Questionnaires tab. After you complete any ICQs relevant to your department, we can provide any guidance or training in based on your results.
