Review
Finds Controls
In Place at Livermore
The
University of California released yesterday an independent
assessment and operational analysis of select business
processes at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
that validates the existence of appropriate internal controls.
The report, which culminates two months of observation
and operation analysis by a team of up to 10 professionals
from the Government Contract Services Group of Ernst &
Young LLP, was conducted at the request of Michael Anastasio,
director LLNL. "The review of key business practices
did not disclose any material weaknesses in Livermore’s
system of internal controls," said Anne Broome, UC
vice president for financial management. "Rather,
Ernst and Young did make recommendations for enhancing
existing control systems. We appreciate such recommendations
from an independent review." Full
story. |

Construction
Means More Trucks
Excavation
activities are under way and are scheduled to
continue at the campus site of the new Stanley
Bioscience and Bioengineering Facility through
