The University System of Maryland recently expanded its internal audit function by absorbing the existing internal audit staffs of the various USM campuses. As a result Bill Lewis, Director of Internal Audit at Towson University, was appointed Audit Manager of the USM Internal Audit Office?s Baltimore area, effective October 2, 2005. Bill will report to the System Office but continue to be located at Towson University.
Ron Grieb will remain at Towson as Director of Management Advisory and Compliance Services, a new department established as a result of USM?s changes to the internal audit function. The department will act as Towson?s liaison with any and all external auditors, and will be responsible for coordinating proper responses to and compliance with all audit reports. In addition, Management Advisory and Compliance Services will provide continuous review of internal policies, procedures, internal controls, risk management and other related duties as assigned. It will assist the university by helping to ensure compliance with State of Maryland, University System of Maryland and Towson University regulations, requirements and policies, as well as best management practices. In his new position Ron will report to Alan Leberknight, Interim Vice President and Chief Fiscal Officer, and indirectly to President Caret.
