After-the-Fact Review of Financial Transactions<\/span><\/h3>\n

After-the-fact reviews<\/a> can be very powerful, and departmental staff, with their direct knowledge of the activities and programs in their departments, are ideally situated to evaluate whether transactions posted to their accounts are accurate, complete, and posted to the appropriate account, to raise questions about unusual or inappropriate transactions, and to inform their managers of variances from budget, or significant changes in actuals from one year to the next.<\/p>\n
