The Department of Internal Auditing (DIA) evaluates Georgia Tech’s academic, administrative, and research processes and offers recommendations for improvement.
The primary purpose of DIA is to function as a service unit to assist all levels of management in the effective discharge of their responsibilities. Through consulting and performing independent audits, the DIA seeks to provide reasonable assurance to management that effective stewardship is maintained over Institute resources. DIA also serves as a liaison between management and all external auditors.
In general, the objectives of DIA are to:
-
Evaluate the adequacy of the internal control structure within a department or unit.
-
Assess the extent of compliance of each area with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures.
-
Verify the existence of Institute assets and ensure proper safeguards for their protection.
-
Evaluate the reliability and integrity of data produced by information systems.
-
Consult with management and provide facilitation, focus, knowledge, technology, best practices, and independence that help management mitigate risk.
Our Chief Audit Executive and auditors are here to guide you through questions you may have about policies and procedures related to Georgia Tech.
