SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Who Performs Audits at UCSD?

  • UCSD's Audit & Management Advisory Services (AMAS) staff
  • Federal, State, County, prime contractor, and private sponsor auditors
  • Independent certified public accountants

2. What is Audit & Management Advisory Services (AMAS)?

AMAS is an independent appraisal activity established to help University management in the effective direction, management, and completion of operating responsibilities through independent audits and consultations. The department provides UCSD with an ongoing evaluation of administrative programs, which takes into account the limited resources available for all the things that UCSD does.

AMAS also provides management advisory services and performs the external audit liaison function for the campus. All audits conducted by outside agencies and entities are coordinated through AMAS, except for the routine annual financial audit, which is coordinated through the Controller’s Office.

The AMAS audit charter provides that audit has full, free, and unrestricted access to University personnel and records. You can help the internal audit department help you by providing them with complete access to all University records and personnel.
