Auditing Campus Bookstores & Related Operations

August 28, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

August 28 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm EDT

Campus bookstores provide goods and services to students, employees, and the public. They are generally auxiliary units intentioned to make sufficient profits to not only sustain their operations, but often, to help fund other institutional programs. In this task, there are a multitude of risks at play. In this training, we will take a deep dive into financial, operational, regulatory, and information technology risks, as well as provide an unfortunate but true story of how it can all go wrong and what fraud risk factors you can look for in your next bookstore or related operations review.

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to…

  1. Identify related risks.
  2. Evaluate key controls.
  3. Plan and execute related tests and/or data analytics.
  4. Develop related recommendations.
