Risk Dictionary
Higher Education Risk Dictionary is an on-going project of the
Association of College and University Auditors under the direction
of Kim Turner of Texas Tech University and David B. Crawford
of The University of Texas System. The Risk Dictionary is still
in the data accumulation stages and will not be organized into a
relational database until late 2006.
The Risk Dictionary represents a collection of risks in functional
areas commonly found in higher education. Each functional area is
contained in a separate excel workbook. Within each spreadsheet, the
risks are grouped by tasks common to the functional area. The task
groupings are noted on tabs along the bottom. There is an index file
available to guide users to the appropriate excel workbook and tab.
