The internal audit function assists the University in fulfilling its vision, mission, strategic initiatives, and objectives, while adhering to its core values, by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of enterprise-wide risk management, internal control systems, and governance processes.

As part of its responsibilities, the unit assists departments with tax compliances matters and provides staff training, as needed. The unit also coordinates external audits and reviews of the University’s tax compliance. Departments who are contacted by an external auditor should notify the Associate Vice President of Tax Compliance and Internal Audit that an audit is contemplated or has been initiated.
