Business Process Compliance Program

Passage of N.C.G.S. Chapter 143D (State Governmental Accountability and Internal Control Act) required all state entities to establish comprehensive standards, policies, and procedures to ensure a strong and effective system of internal control. The Office of the State Controller developed the EAGLE program (Enhancing Accountability in Government through Leadership and Education) in response to the passage of this legislation.

The State Controller has allowed the UNC System’s Business Process Compliance Program to meet the goals of EAGLE. While management at each institution is responsible for establishing systems of internal controls, the Office of Compliance and Audit Services at the System Office also helps achieve compliance with the legislation. The office oversees a variety of efforts toward this end, including training, providing written standards and guidance, monitoring key performance indicators, and reviewing comprehensive self-assessments.
