State auditor finds flaws in MassBay's record-keeping of college property
FRAMINGHAM — Massachusetts Bay Community College failed to take steps previously recommended by the state to improve the tracking of college property, according to an audit released this month by the Office of State Auditor Suzanne Bump.
The May 11 audit also found the college did not maintain an accurate inventory list of information technology equipment and could not substantiate that it conducted annual inventories of the gear. Thus, the college cannot be sure that all of its IT equipment is accounted for and safeguarded against misuse, according to the audit.
In a statement, Bump said she hopes the audit pushes the college to improve its protocols, saying "safeguarding these assets should be a priority for the institution moving forward."
