Who audits the Audit Office?
Excellent question! Actually, we are audited every five years by other auditors under guidelines set forth by the Association of College and University Auditors. This “peer review” process draws upon the standards and guidelines set forth by the Institute of Internal Auditors in their International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. The peer reviewers typically include auditors from other universities, public accounting firms, or specialists in an audit area and they issue a report with findings and recommendations, just as we do when we audit university units.
