The Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance appoints a Campus Audit Liaison to function as the principal contact and coordinator for all campus audit matters. In Amherst, the campus audit liaison is The Controller.
The Controller oversees the Audit and Compliance Unit of the Controller’s Office which serves as the principal liaison for auditor and outside agency examinations of sponsored projects for the campus.
This unit evaluates internal controls, conducts risk based financial compliance reviews, aids in the development of policies and procedures for compliance purposes, and offers trainings to the campus with a primary focus on managing sponsored research funding.
This unit works closely with the Controller, Research Accounting Department, Accounts Receivable Department, Research and Engagement, and Central Grant Core team to achieve its mission.
