It is the policy of ASU to cooperate with auditors, investigators, and other agency representatives conducting fiscal or programmatic reviews of externally funded projects to the maximum extent possible.

The Office of the Executive Vice President of Administration and Finance is responsible for monitoring all audits. ORSPA is charged with coordinating audits and programmatic reviews of sponsored grant and contract programs.

University personnel must refer all requests from external agency representatives to review technical performance, technical reporting, or financial activity on a sponsored grant or contract to the director of research administration.

The director of research administration shall appoint a designee to coordinate all audit and review requests.
