About The Department

The Internal Audit Department is responsible for assisting the Administration in the assessment and improvement of the effectiveness of risk management, internal control, and governance processes. The department is headed by the Senior Audit Manager, who reports to the Director General and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Internal Audit Department conducts annual assessments on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Administration’s control mechanisms for its activities.

The mission of the Internal Audit Department is to safeguard, enhance, and protect organizational value and assets by providing risk-based and objective assurance, advice, and insights to Directors and Management.

To accomplish its threefold mission of identifying, preventing, and mitigating risk, the Administration must maintain the confidence of its Board of Directors, Management, and staff. Confidence in the Administration is paramount if it is to achieve its stated objectives.

The Internal Audit Department provides valuable support in maintaining public confidence by performing independent and objective reviews, and reporting to the Audit Committee and responsible administrative officers on their findings, so corrective actions or enhancements can be initiated.

The department helps flag significant issues relating to the control of Administration activities and prepares reports on these matters. This is executed through the coordination of investigations of fraudulent activities, daily pre-auditing, departmental audits, and internal audits.

The Internal Audit Department is authorized to direct a broad, comprehensive program of internal auditing within the Administration. The Head of Internal Audit and staff of the Internal Audit Department are granted unrestricted access to all Administration functions, records, property, and personnel and are required to exercise confidentiality while executing these duties.
