MAS Training Shorts

Management Advisory Services strives to keep internal controls at the forefront of UMBC’s business processes through the use of short-but-informational learning bites.

If you’ve watched one of our Training Shorts, or have ideas for future topics, we welcome your feedback!

The Auditors are Coming! The Auditors are Coming! Are you ready? 

Understanding internal controls and recognizing their benefits is the responsibility of the campus community.  Internal Controls help ensure that your department remains in sound financial condition, protect University assets (including our human resources), and lead to compliance with federal, state, and University rules, regulations, policies, and procedures.  In short, a strong system of internal controls safeguards the resources entrusted to us and sees that they are used appropriately and responsibly. This training further contributes to providing a strong foundation of compliance at UMBC.

We have training sessions available to cover the information you need to be prepared in case the auditors come to your area!   These sessions are appropriate for faculty and staff and are highly recommended for new employees as well as existing employees who would like a refresher course on internal controls.

Ethics at UMBC

Ethics Word Cloud

Starting with our President, UMBC embraces shared values of ethical behavior and integrity.  In that context, strong ethics means treating our fellow coworkers with respect and dignity and also doing what is right.   Ethical standards in the workplace are important to the success of every employee, their respective departments, and the overall success of UMBC.

MAS has developed an Ethics Training Session to inform the campus of our ethical standards and to inform employees of their responsibilities in upholding those standards at UMBC.

This training is offered to any department upon request.   Please contact Management Advisory Services at MASInquiry@umbc.edu with any questions or for additional information.

UMBC is now offering two types of ethics training – Online and Live.

Management Advisory Services (MAS) is encouraging participation in this online ethics training  course to lay the foundation to further build the ethical culture at UMBC. The traditional live ethics training provides employees with an opportunity to engage in discussions directly with their colleagues about our ethical standards and to discuss ethical dilemmas together. This course is offered either in-person or via Webex.

The online training provides employees with the opportunity to complete ethics training at their own pace and in the comfort of their own office or from home.  The goal is to greatly facilitate the dissemination of UMBC’s ethical standards to all faculty and staff.  Please contact MAS if you are interested in having your department take part in this online training.
