Hi,
Please forgive my ignorance but I would like some information about acquisitions and audits.
Has anyone ever had their library audited? Was it within the last 10 years or so?
If so, did the auditor actually come to the library to review financial records, invoices, etc.? Was paperwork requested of the library?
I've been told that if the library was audited that no auditor would physically come to the library to review any paperwork in Acquisitions.
The auditor would review all the paperwork at the University's business office hence the library does not need to print out paperwork nor keep paperwork.
I've also been told that the business office no longer keeps paperwork but rather scans their invoices, etc. I was not given this information by the business office but
by another individual in the library.
I realize that every institution varies in their policies but before we stop retaining paper printouts, etc. I would like to find out what others are doing.
I understand the concern about excessive printing but I am hesitant to stop printing totally. I also know that generally you need to keep financial documents for several years and/or follow the policy of your business office.
Please respond to me at the email address below so as not to clutter the list unless others are interested as well.
Thanks so much for your input.
