Report a FraudServices and Scope
The Internal Audit Department is committed to promoting efficient and effective administration in support of the academic mission of the university.
We achieve this through the provision of assurance services (e.g. independent and objective audit reviews), advisory services (e.g., assisting with system implementations), investigative services (e.g. special reviews) and consulting services (e.g. educational presentations).
The scope of our services encompasses all University operations and locations. Our responsibilities are formally outlined in the Internal Audit Charter, which is approved by the Audit and Risk Committee.
Guiding Organizations
Internal Audit staff are members of external organizations providing us with direction and guidance for our activities.
These organizations also provide us with the diverse skills to help advocate and promote high-quality, independent professional practices.
