Leadership Accountability

How does UTSA assure strong stewardship responsibilities by managers?

Managers and administrators at UTSA have a stewardship responsibility to support and enhance the mission of the institution to ensure that the University fulfills its legal and financial obligations to internal and external stakeholders, to safeguard the University’s financial, human, information and physical assets, and to create an atmosphere that encourages all members of the University community to contribute to the overall excellence of the University. 

The Management Training and Accountability Initiative consists of three components:

• Review of the Management Responsibilities Guide (MRG) on the Leadership Accountability website.
• Annual certification by administrators/managers that they are performing the critical administrative, fiscal and other stewardship activities outlined in the MRG.  (The next certification will be held in May 2007.)
• Quality Assurance Reviews (QARs) performed throughout the year by Institutional Compliance and Risk Services to validate responses to the management certifications and provide assistance to departments with strengthening key internal controls.

 
The Leadership Accountability website is a comprehensive resource with information to assist administrators/managers with the certification exercise.
