Fostering Greatness: Building Stragegically Focused Internal Audit Services:
Mission
It is the mission of Internal Audit Services (IAS) to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes within the University of Alberta.
This is accomplished through the provision of independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve University operations. Internal Audit Services is also responsible for coordinating examinations of suspected fraudulent or irregular activities that are reported to the University.
Core Activities
IAS delivers its mission through two main service lines:
- internal auditing; and
- investigating alleged fraud or irregularities
These services, although very different in approach and result, require the skills and independence residing in Internal Audit Services.
There are also four audit-related activities where IAS plays a supporting role:
- liaison with external audit groups;
- continuous auditing;
- risk management; and
- institututional compliance.
Reporting Relationship
Internal Audit Services reports functionally to the Board Audit Committee and administratively to the President through the Vice President (Finance and Administration).
