The Technical Services Department of the College of Sciences transferred equipment and stock to the private residence of a University time-slip employee. The equipment is to be used for official University business, and the employee and Department personnel acknowledged this. The transfer of the equipment was made under the provisions of Business Policies and Procedures Manual 20.50.3 and proper documentation was prepared. There has been no improper use of the equipment. The manager of each organizational unit and any other components within an agency is responsible for internal control of that unit . . .
Every effort is to be made to ensure that the assets of the state are properly handled.
By supplying employees with strict control procedures and ensuring that they are followed through the use of checks and audits, the chance if loss will be greatly decreased. University personnel adhered to the cited regulation. The management of the unit has clearly indicated that unit personnel recognize their responsibility for internal controls within the unit. Management efforts ensured that University assets were properly handled in compliance with the strict control procedures that are clearly described in University policy. Proper safeguards were taken to insure against unauthorized use of University equipment.
