UNIVERSITY AUDIT DEPARTMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES

Article Abstract:

Practices differ at public and private universities in the selection, supervision, and activities of internal auditors. Audit committees are used more by private universities, but more closely follow professional guidelines, which suggests greater accountability. Public universities, on the other hand, have their internal auditors hired by governing boards more often and the auditors are then supervised by the president with more implementation of audit findings.
