Regents to vote on internal auditor at Lee College
College regents plan to hire an internal auditor at the next Lee College meeting on Thursday. President Dennis Brown supports an internal auditing function for a college of its size, with Weaver Assurance Tax Advisory favored to conduct a risk assessment and three year audit plan.
