How is DHH Bureau of Internal Audit different from the Legislative Auditors office?
The Bureau of Internal Audit is different from the Legislative Auditor because it is an independent unit established within DHH. The staff is considered internal auditors. The Legislative Auditors are not a part of the DHH organizational structure therefore are considered external auditors. As internal auditors, we work with management to identify areas where internal controls need to be improved or to identify instances where agencies are not complying with laws and regulations. Our objective is to improve operations before the external auditors cite weaknesses.
