Hi Molly, The auditors for the AGO do not require a third party to build/maintain an audit trail report. They are also only interested in the top 10 $value donations per year and assume that the rest of our house is in order. The registrar has access to all.

I have been asked to provide feedback from other museums concerning auditors and the ability of registrars to "write" to (their) collection databases for my director. It's really just two questions: 1. Does anyone have auditors that require a third party to build an audit trail report? For instance, do your auditors require Gallery Systems to build and maintain a custom report? 2. Does the registrar(s) or collections manager(s) in your institution have both access to storage and an ability to "write/edit" to title, description and dimension fields (aka "descriptive" fields) in TMS? Thank you in advance for answering these questions! Molly ********************* Molly Hutton Marder Registrar, Chrysler Museum of Art 245 W.
