Reviewer's Comments

The college's compliance report is very brief on this standard and directs the reader to the Finance Department web page and the Purchasing Department web page. The Off-Site Committee reviewed both websites. Appropriate policies are listed and appear to be developed but the links to the policies were not active. Therefore, the Off-Site Committee could not review any of the policies to determine if the college exercises appropriate control over all its financial resources. The On-Site Committee should review these policies and procedures to determine that the institution has appropriate control over all of its financial resources.

Response

The Reaffirmation report that was submitted electronically was not a "live" document. Therefore, the Off-Site committee which reviewed the document could not click on links within a link. A list of "live" documents was provided, but no reference was made in this standard to that list. These policies can be found on the Finance Department web site and the Purchasing Department web site.
