During recent reviews, the Internal Audit Department learned that some supervisors have shared personal passwords with trusted employees. Allowing associates to use their supervisor’s sign-on credentials provides these employees with access they should not have. Also, it defeats the purpose of the audit trail, which is designed to track any activity or changes made by individuals based upon their usernames.

UNC Charlotte recently received its 2017 audited financial report from the Office of the State Auditor. The report again showed no findings related to what University officials reported, which indicates the strength of UNC Charlotte’s financial position and its internal controls.
