UNT's internal audit professionals play many roles: auditor, consultant, advisor, facilitator, listener, teacher, and administrator. In these roles, all of our activities are directed toward helping you, our client, achieve your goals. Our focus is on the future. Although we look at how you have done things in the past and how you are doing things today, we use this information to help you make improvements so that you can manage even more effectively.
We understand that you may have concerns about working with us. The word "auditor" sometimes conjures up unwarranted fears in people's minds. Our experience shows, however, that most clients who were initially fearful about their operations being audited have been surprised to find that we welcome client participation in the audit process and that we are much more interested in helping a department operate well in the future than we are ferreting out past mistakes.
The audit process is most effective when you, as our client, are actively involved in helping us understand the results you are endeavoring to accomplish.
An audit can produce many benefits. If you have recently assumed new or additional supervisory responsibilities, or if operations have been significantly modified, an audit can review procedures to assess whether internal controls are adequate. A periodic "checkup" to review your unit's activities can help ensure that your procedures continue to comply with University policy. An audit really is an opportunity to receive an independent appraisal of the effectiveness and efficiency of your unit's activities.
