Frequently Asked Questions

You might be asked to review a 'Loss Control' case study and recommend a course of action, or to identify gaps in a draft Procedure Manual regarding payment controls.
Delegations define who has the legal authority to sign off on payments or decisions. Monitoring these ensures that no official is overstepping their legal bounds, which prevents irregular expenditure.
Loss Control involves managing incidents where the state has lost money or assets. This includes tracking state vehicle accidents, lost laptops, or damaged property, and determining if an official should be held liable to repay the cost.
