About Us
Mission
The Internal Control and Accountability Unit coordinates the design, implementation, and maintenance of an effective system of internal controls so state agencies can meet their mission and objectives. We do this through a dash of fun, centralized resources, practical training, and strong relationships to minimize incidences of fraud, waste, and abuse.
Vision
The Internal Control and Accountability Unit recognizes how hard it is to be an agency leader. And we're here to help! As a statewide centralized resource we provide practical and relatable programs and resources to support the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective and proactive systems of internal control for state executive branch agencies. In other words, we give state internal control and audit professionals what they need to serve the people of Minnesota efficiently.
We promote the importance and use of short, updated, and easy to use policies and procedures. We lead the state using common sense policies and procedures and clear expectations for internal control responsibilities. Our goal? To safeguard public funds and assets and minimize incidences of fraud, waste, and abuse, because if there is one thing that ruins everyone's fun, it's fraud, waste, and abuse in state government.
Values
While we embrace all the values of Minnesota Management and Budget, the values of leadership, integrity, and fun are the core of our work.
