Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the controller's perception of his role in institutions of higher education and whether that perception differs from that of top academic administrators. A modified Delphi technique was used to gather and refine data. Despite some minor disagreements, it was shown that there is general agreement as to the proper role of the controller in institutions of higher education.
