The Internal Audit Department is a cornerstone of strengthening governance, supporting transparency, and enhancing institutional performance. The department strives to provide independent and objective audit services aimed at evaluating and improving the effectiveness of internal control systems, risk management, and operational processes. We also believe that the role of internal audit extends beyond simply identifying issues; it is to be a strategic partner in achieving the university's goals by providing constructive recommendations, promoting compliance with regulations and policies, and contributing to establishing a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
