ARMICS Kick-Off FY26
What is ARMICS?
ARMICS (Agency Risk Management and Internal Control Standards) is a State Comptroller directive that ensures VCU’s fiscal processes are accurate, compliant, and well-documented. It sets expectations for internal controls, risk management, and proper oversight of financial activities.
What this means for you
ARMICS helps make sure financial processes run smoothly and accurately. This means reviewing key processes, assessing risks, testing controls, and addressing any gaps. Completing these steps also contributes to VCU’s annual certification to the Virginia Department of Accounts.
Key Dates To Remember:
- April 24 – Certification deadline for VPHS
- May 1 – Certification deadline for Provost units
- May 1 – Certification deadline for Central units
