Function of Internal Audit

INTERNAL AUDITING is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Internal Auditing reviews the reliability and integrity of information, compliance with policies and regulations, the safeguarding of assets, the economical and efficient use of resources, and established operational goals and objectives. – Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA)

The NC State Internal Audit (IA) Division consults with management, the university community, and various constituents to help the University achieve its goals. We work independently to ensure compliance with policies, rules, and regulations and state and federal requirements. We proactively focus our efforts on the risks and exposures having the greatest potential or actual impact to the University and remain flexible with both our resources and approach in order to react appropriately to rapidly changing conditions.
