BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

The Office of the State Auditor (Utah) requires government agencies to annually complete a fraud risk assessment checklist. The checklist is self-administered by the agency and assesses the existence and strength of policies and controls that are key to reducing the risk of fraud. The completed assessment is submitted to The Office of the State Auditor and is to be presented to the agency’s governing body.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

The 2024 Fraud Risk Assessment was completed jointly by the Finance and Internal Audit departments. Mike Hurst, Director Internal Audit, submitted the report to The Office of the State Auditor and received confirmation that it was received.  The assessment was provided to the Board of Trustees in the consent agenda of the board meeting on October 23, 2024. The results of the assessment are now provided to the Audit Committee.
