Evaluating Procedures & Internal Controls

Internal audit's professional staff can evaluate the effectiveness of a department’s operating procedures and internal controls and assist in recommending improvements.

Assisting in Systems Development

Internal Audit can help you plan new systems. We can assist by identifying and evaluating controls that should be incorporated into a data processing system. This can help prevent start up problems and ensure that a system meets established objectives.

Providing Organizational Perspective

Internal Audit can provide your department with a broad organizational perspective. Our staff has a wide range of experience and exposure that can be helpful in improving processes and procedures. We meet regularly with senior management and the Board of Trustees. This experience gives us a broad perspective that can be used to assist departments.

Serving as a Resource and Knowledge Clearinghouse

Internal Audit has the opportunity to review a lot of departments. During these reviews we identify and consult with departments on best practices for their operations. If you are implementing a new process or system, we may be able to provide you with information or refer you to someone else in another department that has particular expertise or information.
