The objective of our audit was to determine whether the University of North Georgia (North Georgia) had controls to ensure that it reported complete and accurate campus crime statistics under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). North Georgia did not have effective controls to ensure that it reported complete and accurate Clery Act crime statistics. North Georgia had processes for activities related to crime reporting under the Clery Act, including identifying its Clery Act geography, requesting crime statistics from local law enforcement agencies, identifying campus security authorities (CSAs) and collecting crime reports from CSAs, processing and compiling the crime information, and reporting the annual Clery Act crime statistics by the reporting deadline. However, these processes did not provide reasonable assurance that the reported crime statistics would be complete and accurate. Additionally, NorthGeorgia did not follow all applicable Clery Act requirements and guidance, which, if followed, would help support the completeness and accuracy of the reported crime statistics. For example, North Georgia did not properly identify its CSAs or follow all applicable requirements for identifying its Clery Act geography3 and requesting crime. statistics from local law enforcement.
