It helps the University achieve objectives by systematically evaluating and improving risk management, control, governance, and the implementation of best practices.
Campus Audit was established by the Vice President for Finance and Business. The Campus Audit Director reports, both administratively and on audit matters, directly to the Vice President for Finance and Business.
Campus Audit is granted free and unrestricted access to all relevant University records, physical properties and personnel. When necessary, University personnel will assist Campus Audit.

Each audit’s results are retained by the Department and are available to the Vice President for Finance and Business. Management implements corrective action identified during audits, and Campus Audit performs follow-up reviews of these actions.
