The mission of the Internal Audit team of ECAS is to provide independent, objective assurance and advisory services designed to add value and improve the University’s operations. This includes projects that can help leaders assess how they are doing in certain areas and/or provide consulting to improve what they are doing. The Board has a designated Board of Curators Audit Committee that oversees the audit function.
The group also administers the University’s Integrity and Accountability Hotline at 1-844-469-6383 or via the web at Integrity and Accountability Hotline. A resource for understanding the hotline process can be found here: Hotline Process.
