UO hires Chief Auditor

This looks to be great news for UO financial transparency. The KU internal audit site is here.

Sent on behalf of Jamie Moffitt:

Dear Colleagues –

I am pleased to announce that Ms. Brenda Muirhead has accepted my offer to serve as the University of Oregon’s new Chief Auditor. She will create and direct the university’s independent audit program and coordinate a broad range of audit functions in support of the needs of the university. We anticipate Brenda will begin her new position on May 19, 2014, pending review and approval of all necessary paperwork.

Brenda currently serves as Audit Manager at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, a research and teaching institution of 28,000 students and 2,600 faculty on five campuses. Before coming to the KU, she served as Senior Auditor for the Kansas Legislative Division of Post Audit, in Topeka. This background has enabled her to become a versatile and effective leader with an excellent understanding of audit operations and internal controls.

We are in the midst of a very exciting and dynamic period in this University’s history. I am excited to have Brenda join our team, and am confident she will apply her experience and skills to help us further the mission of our university and to embrace the changing needs of our institution. Please join me in welcoming Brenda to campus.

Jamie

    Another tenure track faculty position or two. (Or name your pet beneficial thing that will be sacrificed.) I hope it’s worth it.

    I have my doubts.

      OUS had internal audit responsibilities before, so presumably this is just a shift in costs. And an auditor who asks a few sharp questions about athletic subsidies – or at least has to address those questions when raised by the Senate – will easily pay for themselves. Yeah, I know that’s all theory.
