About Internal Audit

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.
