As RSP's Audit Coordinator, I am the primary point of contact for any external or internal audits that relate to UW-Madison's sponsored programs. I respond to auditor documentation requests and policy and procedure inquiries. I often act as a liaison between campus units and auditors when there are questions I cannot answer, or requests for documentation that I cannot access. Finally, I provide status updates to PI's, departments, divisions, and central business units on the status of audits. You can see examples of the different types of audit work I'm involved in below.
Audit requests are often initially sent to someone at UW-Madison who made previous contact with the award sponsor, even if that individual is not responsible for the financial and administrative duties of the project. If an auditor contacts you for any reason, please let me know.
