Upcoming Accounts Payable Audit • Profit Recovery Systems, Inc.

Upcoming Accounts Payable Audit (continued) • PRS will be representing themselves as members of The University of Toledo internal audit staff, and any fax correspondence they send to our suppliers will be on The University of Toledo letterhead. • The primary PRS auditors working on this project are Jim Fenker, Neal Morrison, and Gary Butzback. • If you receive inquiries from any of our suppliers as to the work PRS is performing, please confirm that their work is fully authorized and encourage our suppliers to provide whatever information is requested. • If you have any questions about this project, please contact David Cutri (Director of Internal Audit, (419) 530-8718)).

Does it mean I’m in trouble? • Can I prepare for an internal audit? How? • Who can request an internal audit at UT? • Do you ever follow up on findings raised during previous internal audits? • I understand that Internal Audit will help me manage the risks in the area.
