As is our practice each spring, we are partnering with our senior accounting students in Margie LaShaw’s Principles of Auditing class on a mutually beneficial audit project. We provide the students with an opportunity to use their auditing skills and they help the university’s internal control testing.
The audit project will take place the week of April 11-15 and will be coordinated by Tara Lambert, our senior accountant for audit and tax, as part of her internship for the Whitworth MBA Program. Students will visit departments to monitor and report on their procedures in the following areas:
- Cash management
- Budget review procedures (this activity is closely related to our external auditors’ recommendation from last year to verify that department managers are monitoring their budgets)
- Various internal controls to monitor risk management
Tara will contact selected departments ahead of time to schedule appointments for the students’ work. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and openness to our students. If you have any question or concerns, please call Luz Merkel at x4225.
