Internal Audit Office

The Internal Audit Department works for UVU. The Director of Internal Audit reports functionally to the Board of Trustees Audit Committee, and administratively to the Vice President of Finance and Administration. Audit Committee is an independent, management oversight function.

Internal Audit is responsible for carrying out an annual risk assessment, and conducting audits of UVU entities based on the results of that assessment. We strive to add value in those areas through a systematic review of operations, revenues and expenses, assets, compliance with related laws and policies, etc. Based on this testing, we work with management to find ways to improve operations, prevent misconduct, safeguard assets, or better meet compliance expectations.

Our work, including planned audits, is prioritized as follows:

1) Utah Board of Higher Education's required audits

2) Tips and EthicsPoint reports

3) Requested and transfer audits

4) Planned audits
