University policy

The associate vice president for finance and treasurer has university-wide liaison responsibility for university audits performed by the Internal Revenue Service, the Arizona Department of Revenue, and the Department of Economic Security. Governmental taxing authorities should promptly notify the associate vice president for finance and treasurer of audits planned for organizations financially related to ASU before the audits begin.

Any department that receives notice of an audit or receives an inquiry that could lead to an audit by a governmental taxing authority is to notify Financial Services. The associate vice president for finance and treasurer then will respond to requests for information from the taxing authority.

Any organization financially related to ASU that receives notice of an audit or receives an inquiry that could lead to an audit by a governmental taxing authority is to promptly notify Financial Services.
