How are units selected for audit?
Each year, the OIA performs a comprehensive risk assessment. With input from management and key stakeholders, audit risk areas, such as purchase card processes, information systems or facilities are identified. The OIA then decides which areas to audit based on the results of the assessment and the audit resources available. The final audit plan is approved by the Audit Committee. For more information please call 301-446-3334.
