WCUs Office of Internal Audit Review and Perspective

Accountability: It is the responsibility of each department to provide timely
notification of employment and termination to HR. Departmental notifications
and personnel processing actions are subject to audit by the Universitys
Internal Auditor and by external auditors. As such, the timeframes for
compliance rest at the departmental level.
For audit reporting purposes - comments will be added to Banner when paperwork
received by HR after separation date.
