DISCUSSION

The Quarterly Control and Compliance Attestation from the Chancellor is offered, with the intent to enhance the atmosphere of trust and accountability between the College administration, members of the Board of Trustees, and the public.

DESCRIPTION OR BACKGROUND

It is important that the Board of Trustees be able to rely upon the written and oral statements of the Chancellor and other members of the College administration as they carry out their duties.  The attestation is a written statement from the Chancellor indicating that he has already disclosed to the Board of Trustees, the Audit Committee, and/or to Internal Audit, regarding any items of potential concern that he is aware of, primarily in the areas of internal control, compliance, and suspected fraud.  It is also a positive statement stating that all rules have been followed, all material items recorded, and all contractual agreements have been honored.

 

The Chancellor’s Attestation is supported by similar attestations from key College administrators.  This item will be included as a regular quarterly report item to the Audit Committee.
