| Student and Campus Life conducted a risk assessment based on inherent risk and control effectiveness to determine risk likelihood. | ||
Inherent Risk is the susceptibility of a financial process to misstatement, without consideration of any compensating internal controls. | ||
| Scale | Definition | Factor |
| High | Involves complex calculations, significant judgment, use of estimates, potential future uncertainty , assets susceptible to misappropriation, or management incentive to misstate financial reporting. | 10 |
| Moderate | Involves relatively simple calculations, minimal judgment, and a limited risk of misappropriation of assets or financial misstatement. | 5 |
| Low | Involves little to know professional judgement or estimates, and consists of specific transaction prices which are not subject to potential uncertainty. | 2 |
| ||
Control Effectiveness represents how effective the current internal controls in place within a financial process are expected to be in preventing a financial misstatement from taking place or detecting it in a timely manner. | ||
Scale | Definition | Factor |
High | There are highly effective processes currently in place to mitigate the risk of potential errors, and no issues have been noted during the past three years. | 0.4 |
Moderate | There are processes in place to address potential errors, but there have been one or more issues noted within the past three years. | 0.6 |
Low | There are no processes currently in place to specifically address potential errors within the transaction cycle. | 0.9 |
