Message from the President

There is nothing more important to the University than honesty and good management. We have an elaborate system of internal controls and administrative processes to help us comply with both the letter and spirit of the law. The professional Internal Audit staff is expert on internal controls, and I look for them to provide advice on management and control issues. I appreciate your help in safeguarding all our assets and working with the audit team.     Jack M. Wilson

Message from the Director

Welcome to the University Internal Audit Web site.  The University Internal Audit department is responsible for the coordination and monitoring of all audit matters at the five campuses and the President's office, including internal audits, external contracted audits, and those carried out by the Office of the State Auditor and various federal and state agencies. The department serves the President, the Board of Trustees, and campus management by determining levels of compliance with University policy and procedure, federal and state regulations, and by evaluating the adequacy of internal controls through a program of scheduled and unscheduled audits. Our goal is to offer independent and objective observations to management to assist in improving the control environment.    Robert M. Harrison
