DoD kicks off "Check-It" Campaign

The Department of Defense launched the "Check It" Internal Management Controls Program Awareness Campaign in July to emphasize the importance of internal management controls. The message is: "Everyone has a job to do, and every job is important."
 
Internal management control is the plan of organization, methods, and procedures adopted by management to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the Federal Manager's Financial Integrity Act are met.
 
Internal controls are everyone's responsibility, as we rely on each individual to ensure that what should happen does happen. These controls are in place to improve effective and efficient financial management and encompass every aspect of the university's operations. Effective monitoring helps us meet our mission of "Learning to Care for Those in Harm's Way."
 
Throughout the campaign, there will be a specific focus on areas that will change monthly. These messages will be sent out by the Office of Review and Evaluation, which is responsible for the overall Internal Management Control Program. The messages are intended for all members of the university and should be viewed by all faculty, staff, and students. Information will also be included in the USU Newsletter.
 
It is important that everyone takes the necessary steps to increase awareness of internal controls and to protect our assets so that we can continue to meet our mission.
 
Posters, which are available through the Office of Review and Evaluation, can be displayed throughout your department so all employees receive this important message.
 
As the campaign goes forward, more messages/updates will be sent throughout the university.
