Compliance with the Benefits Proportionality Audit Requirements for Higher Education Institutions: At the request of the Governor, an internal audit of the proportionality of higher education benefits process was performed during fiscal year 2016. A consistent audit methodology has been deployed across the UT System that assessed the reporting process and accuracy of benefits funding information provided to the State Comptroller as applicable under Rider 8, page III-41, the General Appropriations Act (84 th Legislature, Conference Committee Report). An audit of the benefits proportionality process will also be conducted during fiscal year 2017 and will comply with Rider 8, page III-41, the General Appropriations Act (84 th Legislature, Conference Committee Report). The audit will be complete by February 28, 2017. Compliance with the Purchasing and Contracting Requirements for Higher Education Institutions: Senate Bill 20 (84 th Legislative Session) made several modifications and additions to Texas Government Code (TGC) and Texas Education Code (TEC) related to purchasing and contracting. Effective September 1, 2015, TEC 51.9337 requires that, The chief auditor of an institution of higher education shall annually assess whether the institution has adopted the rules and policies required by this section and shall submit a report of findings to the state auditor. The MD Anderson Cancer Center Internal Audit Department conducted this required assessment for fiscal year 2016, and found the following: Based on review of current institutional policy and the UT System Board of Regents Rules and Regulations, MD Anderson Cancer Center has generally adopted all of the rules and policies required by TEC 51.9337. Review and revision of institutional and System policy is an ongoing process. These rules and policies will continue to be assessed annually to ensure continued compliance with TEC 51.9337.

Any recommendations for improvement were made by UT System. A consistent process was developed for conducting criminal background checks for all contractors entering the institution.

Internal Audit conducted a detailed review of the results and did not identify any improprieties or errors that warranted further review. No recommendations were made by Internal Audit as a result of this review. The EHR Risk Oversight Council identified financial compliance, and information security controls risks throughout the OneConnect implementation and monitored the status of remediation efforts.
