Hello, Friends,
Again I thank you for your
responses to a question from my corner of the
sandbox, this time re: whether or not you have an internal
auditor, and if
yes, to whom the individual reports.
Thirty of you responded,
twenty-five of whom do not have an internal
auditor, five of whom do. The overwhelming message is that this
position can
be very political and should be avoided, the exception being
one school
which has a system which appears healthy and another which would
like to
have an internal auditor. Two schools report that it was the
community
rather than the head of school or the Board which set up the
requirement for
an internal auditor, which lends credence to the political
piece.
Re: the second portion of the
question, should such a position exist, the
strong consensus is that s/he should report to the head of
school, possibly
together with the Treasurer of the Board. The person should
definitely not
report to the Business Manager.
Hmm. Aren1t our
jobs fun?
With every wish for a lovely
holiday season, Monica
