Internal Audit

Internal Audit performs independent appraisals of University operations according to an audit plan approved by the University President.  The goal of these appraisals is to assess the effectiveness of internal controls and to help ensure conformance with managerial policies.

The Office of Internal Audit's mission statement reads as follows:

The internal audit function of AASU is committed to providing independent and objective assurance and consulting services to institutional leadership in order to add value and improve operations.  The internal audit function assists leadership in accomplishing their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management, compliance, and internal control processes.

The purpose, authority and responsibilities of the Office of Internal Audit are summarized in the Internal Audit Charter (PDF).

I encourage you to contact the Office of Internal Audit with any ideas, questions or concerns you may have about your department's operations.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Susan Hacker, Internal Auditor
