Office of Internal Audits


What Is An Audit

The Office of Internal Auditing provides a service available to the Tulane Community. We strive to provide the highest quality auditing and consulting services. We maintain high professional standards by continually developing our skills and "sharpening our tools" through training, staying current on technologies, and being cognizant to trends in higher education.

Internal auditing reviews critical processes within the University and Medical Center to assure that policies are being followed and that proper internal controls exist to protect you, your employees, and the University.

Internal auditing is an appraisal activity that reviews your department's internal control system. On an ongoing basis, internal auditing -independent of the functions reviewed- objectively evaluates internal controls over system and administrative processes.

Internal auditing informs you about what is working according to plan and provides recommendations where improvements can be made to enhance the achievement of management's objectives.
