Internal Audit

About Internal Audit

The NOCCCD Internal Audit Department independently examines and assesses the District's practices. We review and evaluate how the District operates, including its financial systems and internal controls. Additionally, we offer consulting services to help make the organization's processes more transparent and efficient.

The Internal Audit Department regularly checks how well the District's key processes and risks are managed by doing operational, financial, and performance audits. The Vice Chancellor of Finance and Facilities reviews and approves the audit plans.

What can the Internal Audit Department help with?

  • Answering questions about rules and laws
  • Doing research
  • Writing memos
  • Fixing problems in processes
  • Testing transactions
  • Reviewing how things are done
  • Handling tax issues
  • Checking financial controls
  • Keeping important information documented
