Operating Principles to be addressed by Fiscal Integrity Subcommittee during the period of Self-Study

(Excerpt from the 2002-03 Division I Athletics Certification Self-Study Instrument pages 29-31):

3.1 Financial Practices. The Association's principles include the responsibility of the institution's chief executive officer for approval of the athletics budget and audit of all athletics expenditures. In fulfilling this principle, the institution shall demonstrate that:

All funds raised for and expended on athletics are subject to institutionally defined practices of documentation, review and oversight.
All expenditures from any source for athletics are approved by the institution.
Budget and audit procedures for athletics are consistent with those followed by the institution generally and with provisions of NCAA constitution 6.2:
1. The institution's annual budget for athletics is approved by the institution's chief executive officer or designee from outside the athletics department.
2. An annual financial audit is performed by a qualified auditor who is not a staff member of the institution and who is selected by the chief executive officer or designee from outside the athletics department.

3.2 Fiscal Management and Stability. The Association's principles require each institution to administer its intercollegiate athletics program in keeping with prudent management and fiscal practices. To demonstrate fulfillment of this requirement, the institution shall provide evidence that the management and fiscal practices of the institution assure the financial stability necessary for providing all student-athletes with relatively full and stable opportunities for athletics participation.

3.3 Established Fiscal Policies and Procedures. Membership in the Association places responsibility on each institution to monitor its programs to assure compliance with all applicable rules and regulations of the Association. Consistent with this responsibility, the institution shall demonstrate that it has in place fiscal policies and standard operating procedures to ensure that:

Prospective student-athletes are not provided with impermissible recruiting inducements.
Enrolled student-athletes are not provided with benefits that are expressly prohibited by NCAA legislation.
All expenditures for athletics are handled consistently in accordance with NCAA, conference and institutional rules.
