Successful completion of work study audit

This summer the University’s Internal Audits audited administration of the federal and state work study programs. Their primary scope was to determine whether:

1. The University and participating departments are taking full advantage of the work study program and ensuring that all University work study funds are used
2. No student is earning more than their approved work study fund allocation
3. No student is earning work study funds after their enrollment has fallen below eligibility

They concluded that the programs are well managed and that the manual monitoring processes are effective. They also found the automated controls in place to prevent students earning more funds than they were allocated were also effective.
Huge thank you to Deb Wilkin and Christopher D. Peterson from the Office of Student Finance for their tireless efforts to assist the audit.
