The Office of
Internal Audit
The Office of Internal Audit
Internal Audit is an independent objective assurance and advising activity designed to add value and improve the college operations. Internal Audit helps the college accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and control processes. Internal Audit assists the college’s management in the effective discharge of their duties and responsibilities by evaluating activities, recommending improvements, and providing other information designed to promote effective controls.
The Internal Audit function adheres to The Institute of Internal Auditors’ Global Internal Audit Standards.
Internal Audit Charter
Dyersburg State Community College’s Internal Audit Charter is a formal written document that defines the purpose, authority and scope, and the responsibility and role of the Office of Internal Audit. The Charter establishes the organizational status and reporting structure for the Office of Internal Audit and prescribes adherence to the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIA) International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF).
The Charter is periodically assessed by the Internal Auditor to determine whether the purpose, authority, and responsibilities defined in the Charter are adequate to enable the internal auditing activity to accomplish its objectives. The results of the periodic assessment are communicated to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR).
