During the course of work in Internal Audit we use several different documents and forms to aid us in doing a complete and thorough job that is satisfying to the auditee, Management, the Audit Committee and the Internal Audit staff.

We develop our annual audit schedule based on risk assessment, prior experience and knowledge of problem areas within the College. Prior to an audit the department has been sent an Audit Engagement Questionnaire. This questionnaire helps us to determine the scope of our review by addressing specific areas that could require additional review. After going over the questionnaire we inform the auditee and his Division Head of the audit objectives and scope, detailing the entire audit process making them aware of what to expect. Grants are a significant portion of our revenue so we have designed a separate template to address grants related issues the Compliance Grant Evaluation Report is completed with the assistance of the grant’s Principle Investigator. Once the audit has been completed with management’s responses inclusive of implementation dates for the recommendations a tracking form is required to be submitted to the President and Internal Audit Department on a monthly basis until all recommendations have been adhered. Also, at the end of the audit the auditee is asked to complete an Audit Customer Survey by Internal Audit to gather feedback in order to improve our services. The survey addresses the planning and performance of the audit along with the professionalism of the service and the communication of the results.
