Bill > AB326

This bill requires an external financial audit of each California State University (CSU) campus at least once every three years, supplementing the existing requirement for internal audits. Currently, the CSU trustees are required to maintain an internal audit staff responsible for reviewing and analyzing university operations. The new legislation mandates that all audits of the CSU system, whether conducted internally or by external auditors, must be made publicly accessible. This increases transparency by ensuring that financial reviews of the university campuses can be reviewed by the public, which could help improve accountability and provide insight into the university system's financial management. The bill aims to enhance financial oversight of the CSU system by establishing a more frequent and accessible audit process across all campuses.
