R&D Single Audit FY25: Be Ready to Assist!
As part of our Annual Single Audit, the University of Colorado Boulder is currently undergoing an external audit of our research and development (R&D) expenses and compliance. This process began in May 2025 and will continue through early fall 2025.
Understanding the Scope
Every three years our external auditors are required to perform a comprehensive audit over CU Boulder’s R&D expenditures. Sponsored research awards fall into the category of R&D when they come from federal or federal flow-through sources.
Your Role in the Audit Process
During the audit process, you may receive communication from the Campus Controller’s Office (CCO – RFS) for information or documentation. We kindly ask for your urgent attention to requests, as our timely assistance directly impacts the State's audit report and its review by project sponsors.
