Internal Audit
The standards of our audit practice are designed to meet or exceed the international standards for the professional practice of internal auditing of the Institute of Internal Auditors. Internal Audit will abide by generally accepted government auditing standards, the Texas Internal Auditing Act, The University of Texas System Regents' Rules and Regulations and M. D. Anderson policies.
- Internal Audit Charter (pdf) - The Internal Audit charter describes our department's scope of work, accountability, independence, responsibility, authority and standards of audit practice.
- Internal Audit Reporting Structure (pdf) - To provide independence of internal audit activity, the Associate Vice President and Chief Audit Officer reports functionally to the M. D. Anderson president and must be free of all operational and management responsibilities.
- Audit Committee Membership - The M. D. Anderson audit committee is an essential part of the risk management and internal control infrastructure of the institution and of The University of Texas System. It is comprised of executive management and external business leaders. The audit committee’s primary responsibility is to assist the president in the oversight of internal and external auditing activities and the processes to manage enterprise-wide risks. The audit committee reviews and approves audit reports and monitors action plans established by management.
- UT System Audit Services - The executive audit director has an indirect reporting relationship to The University of Texas System director of audits. The University of Texas Audit Office provides an independent internal audit appraisal function established to examine and evaluate audit activities as a service to the board of regents, the chancellor and the executive staff of The University of Texas System.
