Internal Audit exists to support the administration and the Board of Trustees in the effective discharge of their responsibilities. Using knowledge and professional judgment, internal audit will provide an independent appraisal of the University's financial, operational, and control activities. Internal audit will report on the adequacy of internal controls, the accuracy and propriety of transactions, the extent to which assets are accounted for and safeguarded, and the level of compliance with policies and government laws and regulations. Additionally, internal audit will provide analyses, recommendations, counsel and information concerning the activities reviewed.
