Can a unit or department decline to be audited?
Once the annual Audit Plan is approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Governors, it becomes the work plan for the Audit Services department. Only under unusual circumstances (such as the long-term illness of a manager or key staff member, increased demands on the unit caused by an institutional requirement of higher priority, a large number of vacancies caused by high turnover, etc.) would a scheduled audit be delayed. Although an audit may identify risks within the unit or department, the purpose of the audit is to improve the operations through the discovery of efficiencies and more effective ways to perform functions.
