The University Audits record group consists of reports of internal and external auditors, and files documenting the amendments of Standard Practice Guide provisions.
The Unit Audit Reports series, 1953-2004 (9.5 linear feet), consist of audits conducted by University Audits staff. Initially, the audits primarily related to units that provided fee-based goods or services such as WUOM, WFUM-TV, Radrick Farms Golf Course, Student Publications, and ICA Summer Camps and Clinics. The William W. Cook Trust was also regularly audited. As the University started to computerize its recordkeeping, auditors were also tasked with evaluating the adequacy of the financial controls for the new accounting systems. Other topics that they reviewed include the control of patient confidentiality, and the Y2K computer conversions. Audit reports were initially unnumbered, but beginning in 1969 were numbered consecutively, with the first digit of the identifier corresponding to the last digit of the fiscal year of the audit. Since numbers were reused a decade later in some cases, two different audits could have the same identifier. They are arranged in order by identifier, which usually corresponds to their chronological order. There is an index of the units audited for the period 1982-2003 which is in the first folder of Box 1.
