To maintain proficiency in the latest audit techniques and to keep abreast of issues, the department has developed minimum continuing education standards for each auditor. The Internal Audit Department is required to develop a comprehensive audit plan. The decision of what audits to include in the annual audit plan is based on a risk analysis and input from the Audit Committee. A provision is also made for Special Request Audits. Internal controls provide reasonable assurance that management data is reliable, assets are accounted for and safeguarded, operating practices are sound and ensure compliance with policies, and resources are used efficiently.
Internal control is everyone's business.
Contact the Internal Audit Office. We will investigate the allegations and issue a written report. An audit provides an independent and objective analysis of your department's administrative internal controls. Auditors are not focused on finding fault. Another reason for requesting an audit is when the Department is concerned about cash control, equipment maintenance, or information security.
