Our primary function is to provide independent, comprehensive audits, investigations, reviews, and consulting services designed to enhance the University’s reputation, promote accountability, integrity, and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the university’s operations.
Our Office serves as an independent appraisal function for the University. To promote independence and objectivity, the Inspector General (Chief Audit Executive) reports functionally to the Board of Trustees (BOT) through its Audit and Compliance Committee (ACC), and administratively to the University President. As stipulated in the FAU OIG Charter and as required by the Board of Governor (BOG)’s regulations, OIG operates under the Global Internal Audit Standards and promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Red Book) and the Principles and Standards for Offices of Inspector General issued by the Association of Inspectors General (Green Book).
The Office of the Inspector General prepares an annual work plan based on the OIG’s annual risk assessment, and the contributions and insights from management, staff, and the BOT Audit and Compliance Committee Chair. Annually, the Inspector General's Office issues a report on activities and most significant accomplishments of the office for the preceding fiscal year ended June 30th.
