==Basis for Policy==

==Internal Audit Structure==
The mission of the internal audit activity is to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve the UNMC’s operations. It helps UNMC accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.  
 
The scope of work of the internal audit activity is to determine whether UNMC’s network of risk management, control and governance processes, as designed and represented by management, is adequate and functioning in a manner to ensure:
*Risks are appropriately identified and managed.
*Interaction with the various governance groups occurs as needed.
*Significant financial, managerial and operating information is accurate, reliable, and timely.
*Employees’ actions are in compliance with policies, standards, procedures, and applicable laws and regulations.
*Resources are acquired economically, used efficiently and adequately protected.

*Significant legislative or regulatory issues impacting UNMC are recognized and addressed appropriately.
*Opportunities for improving management control, profitability, and UNMC’s image may be identified during audits. They will be communicated to the appropriate level of management.
==Accountability==
The Internal Audit Director, shall be accountable to the Chancellor and provide information, on request for the chief audit executive, to be presented at the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee including:
*Provide annually an assessment on the adequacy and effectiveness of the campus processes for controlling its activities and managing its risks in the areas set forth under the mission and scope of work.

*Coordinate with other control and monitoring functions (risk management, compliance, security, legal, ethics, environmental, external audit) to conduct risk assessments and develop or recommend monitoring activities to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls.
==Responsibility==
*Develop a flexible annual audit plan using an appropriate risk-based methodology, including any risks or control concerns identified by management, and submit that plan to the Chancellor for review and approval as well as periodic updates. The Plan shall be presented to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee annually.
*Implement the annual audit plan, as approved, including as appropriate, any special tasks or projects requested by management and the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.
*Maintain a professional audit staff with sufficient knowledge, skills, experience, and professional certifications to meet the requirements of this Charter.
*Evaluate and assess significant merging/consolidating functions and new or changing services, processes, operations, and control processes coincident with their development, implementation, and/or expansion.
*Issue periodic reports to the chief audit executive and management summarizing results of audit activities.
*Keep the chief audit executive informed of emerging trends and significant issues, as it relates to their campus.
*Provide a list of significant measurement goals and results to the chief audit executive.
*Assist in the investigation of significant suspected fraudulent activities within their campus and notify management and the chief audit executive of the results.
*Consider the scope of work of UNMC-selected external auditors for the purpose of providing optimal audit coverage to UNMC at a reasonable overall cost.
