Governance
Auditing is a cornerstone of good public sector governance. The internal auditor's role supports the governance responsibilities of oversight, insight, and foresight.
- Oversight addresses whether the university is doing what it is supposed to do and serves to detect and deter corruption.
- Insight assists university decision-makers by providing an independent assessment of university programs, policies, operations and results.
- Foresight identifies trends and emerging challenges.
Internal auditors use tools such as financial audits, performance audits, investigations and advisory services to fulfill each of these roles.
We help UVic accomplish its objectives by helping evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.
