Internal Audit Unit

Internal Audit provides a service to the whole University including the Governing Authority and all levels of management by conducting an independent appraisal of all of the University's activities, financial and otherwise.

Internal Audit provides assurance to the Governing Authority and the President on the entire system of controls. It assists management by evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of the controls for which management are responsible. However, it remains the duty of management and not Internal Audit, to operate adequate systems of internal control.

Internal Audit derives its authority from the Governing Authority through the Audit Committee and the President. The Internal Auditor reports to the University's Audit Committee on professional matters and is attached to the office of the Chief Operating Officer for administrative purposes.
