Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy
Background:
Internal Audit of Revenue Processing at Indiana University
![Page 7: Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813ad3550346895da3065c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy
Internal Audit Finding:
“Existing financial institutional policies do not adequately limit the risks of accepting and depositing revenues, provide guidance on the best methods for accepting and depositing different types of revenues, establish responsibility for monitoring revenues, or establish treasury as an approval authority for revenue acceptance and deposit processes.”
![Page 8: Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813ad3550346895da3065c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy
Internal Audit Finding:
“Current policies do not establish collection guidelines for similar types of revenue processes. Several types of operations/revenue generating processes can be grouped (system-wide) and overall best practices suggested for each. The overall goal is to reduce or eliminate cash, check, and credit card handling in units. As mentioned above, for many (non-retail) units, an ideal first step is to implement a policy that restricts the acceptance of cash.”

Introduction of Revenue Processing Policy
Internal Audit Recommendation:
“Establishing guidelines for the use of available payment methods and a policy requiring Treasury’s review and approval of the collection methods…”
