Assurance Services

Services through which internal auditors perform objective assessments of processes to provide assurance. Assurance is a statement intended to increase the level of stakeholders’ confidence about an organization’s governance, risk management, and control processes over an issue, condition, subject matter, or activity under review when compared to established criteria. Examples include 

  • Operational Reviews are designed to analyze processes to identify and manage risks and determine if controls are working as intended to achieve the objectives of the organization. 
  • Information Technology Reviews are designed to participate in system development projects and committees; pre- and post-implementation reviews of application systems; and information security reviews to ensure controls and processes are working as intended. 
  • Compliance Reviews determine if activities are meeting specific criteria such as internal policies or criteria from outside of the university like legislative requirements. 

Value: Help stay ahead of surprises so you can pursue objectives with confidence by receiving independent re-assurance that risks are managed and controls are well designed and working as intended to detect and prevent issues.
