USU Accountability System & Reportable Policy Violations
In alignment with the audit recommendations, the University has established a formal accountability system for university purchases. Effective October 1, 2026, identified policy violations will be reported to the President and Board of Trustees, as directed. Please note that the new accountability system has not created additional policy requirements. The only change is the new requirement to report violations.

Our office is divided into different groups in order to handle all of the responsibilities of the department in an organized and balanced way. Here you can see the teams we have designated, along with staff members assigned to each and many applicable links and forms. Alternatively, you can see the entire staff of the department listed in our Staff Directory.
