System Audit Office

Established within the University of Texas System (UT) as a service to the Board of Regents, Chancellor, and executive staff of the UT System, the System Audit Office provides an independent internal audit appraisal function to examine and evaluate UT System activities.

Role

The internal audit activity is established by the UT System Board of Regents. The internal audit activity’s responsibilities are defined by the Audit, Compliance, and Risk Management Committee (ACRMC) of the UT System Board of Regents as part of its oversight role.

Mission

The System Audit Office’s mission is to serve the UT System Board of Regents, UT System Administration, and UT System institutions by providing risk-based and objective assurance, advice, and insight to protect and enhance organizational value.  We support UT System’s pursuit to improve the human condition through an internal audit program of excellence and innovation.

Goals

  • Provide to management, the System Administration Internal Audit Committee (IAC) and the ACRMC independent, objective evaluations of the operations, policies, procedures, and controls at UT System Administration.
  • Provide for UT System management, the IAC, and the ACRMC oversight of all internal audit departments in the UT System to assure that an effective internal audit function which includes a risk-based annual and long-range audit plan, a reporting mechanism, and a quality assurance program, is in place Systemwide.
  • Provide to the internal audit departments of mid-size and small institutions supplemental assistance and resources so that they can provide institutional management, institutional IACs, and the ACRMC with independent, objective evaluations of their institutional operations, policies, procedures, and controls.
