Internal Audit Department

Role of Internal Audit

The Internal Audit Department is responsible for planning and performing internal audits at the University. Internal Audit assists management by providing independent and objective analyses of activities and controls. Audit scopes can range from a single process to all business activities in a division, department, or school. Internal Audit makes recommendations as a result of those analyses.

The Controller and the Executive Director of Compliance and Audit are responsible for coordinating the on-campus activities of all external auditors including federal, state, and local government agencies, CPA firms, etc., and will serve as liaisons between external auditors and University external auditors and University departments when appropriate. If your office is contacted by any external audit agency, contact the Controller at (314) 935-9853 or the Executive Director of Compliance and Audit at (314) 362-4915 or (314) 362-4910.
