Audits  

An audit is an examination and analysis of an organization, program, function or activity. The auditor may inspect, analyze, and verify records and obtain information by interviews, questionnaires, and physical inspections. The OACR audits are performed in accordance with the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The audit universe identified for the university closely follows the university's mission and objectives.

The audit process is an interactive one between the auditors and management and staff of the activity being audited. It is important for unit management and staff to understand the process, its goals and what is the unit's expected role in the process. The list of questions and answers we provide is an attempt to respond to some common questions asked.

In our audits we aspire to:

Facilitate positive change.
Acknowledge improvements and corrective action identified jointly by management and the audit team.
Create complete and balanced reports that attempt to identify control strengths as well as weaknesses and management accomplishments.
