The Internal Control Framework fosters effective and efficient financial operations and reliable financial reporting while also enabling compliance with applicable regulations. The Board of Trustees, the State University of New York, and federal Uniform Guidance all require that the university adopt an internal control framework and maintain an adequate system of internal controls. This internal control guidance is grounded in the principles of the COSO Framework.
