    Quality Assurance Reviews are comprehensive - encompassing all fiscal transactions and CTR business areas. The program has two components - Departmental QA Review and Issue Specific Review.

  • Internal Controls

    Under Chapter 647 of the Acts of 1989, the Comptroller is responsible for developing internal control guidelines for Commonwealth departments.

  • Audit Coordination

    The QAB's audit coordination responsibilities include tracking the activities of various auditing entities, monitoring potential auditor independence issues and following up on findings.

  • Comptroller Internal Audit

    Quality Assurance reviews the internal operations of the Comptroller business bureaus. These reviews check the effectiveness of the policies and procedures under which the bureaus operate in their capacity as oversight agents (CTR) for the activities of other Commonwealth departments.
