宪章

介绍

内部审计是一种独立和客观的保证和咨询活动,它以增加价值来改善UTHEADH的价值的哲学为指导。内部审计的使命是通过提供基于风险和客观的保证,建议和洞察力来增强和保护组织价值。内部审计通过带来系统和纪律严明的方法来评估和提高组织治理,风险管理和内部控制的有效性,从而有助于实现其目标。

Role

内部审计活动由德克萨斯州内部审计法和得克萨斯大学(UT)系统董事会建立。UT系统摄政委员会的审计,合规和管理审查委员会(ACMRC)和机构审计委员会提供监督责任。在这一职位上,内部审计是在治理,风险管理和内部控制领域的管理顾问。

专业精神

The internal audit activity will govern itself by adherence to The Institute of Internal Auditors' mandatory guidance including the Definition of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics, the Core Principles, the内部审计专业实践的国际标准(标准),如果适用,则根据《德克萨斯州内部审计法》的要求,普遍接受的政府审计标准。该强制性指导构成了内部审计专业实践的基本要求的原则,并评估了内部审计活动的有效性。

The Institute of Internal Auditors' Practice Advisories, Practice Guides, and Position Papers will also be adhered to as applicable to guide operations. In addition, the internal audit activity will adhere to UTHealth relevant policies and procedures and the internal audit activity's standard operating procedures manual.

Authority

内部审计活动对机密性和保护记录和信息的严格责任,已被授权完全,免费和不受限制地访问与进行任何参与有关的任何UTHealth记录,物理财产和人员。要求所有员工协助内部审计活动履行其角色和职责。内部审计活动还将免费且无限制地访问机构审计委员会和ACMRC。

组织

Internal audit is a vital part of the UTHealth and functions in accordance with the policies established by the President, UT System Administration, and the UT System Board of Regents. To provide for the independence of the internal auditing activity, the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) reports functionally to the institutional audit committee. The CAE reports administratively to the UTHealth President and has an indirect reporting relationship to the UT System CAE.

CAE将与机构审计委员会(包括执行会议和委员会会议之间)直接沟通和互动。机构审计委员会的责任在其宪章中概述。

独立性和客观性

内部审计活动将不受组织中任何因素的干扰,包括审计选择,范围,程序,频率,时机或报告内容,以允许维护必要的独立和客观的心理态度。

内部审计师将对任何审核的任何活动都没有直接的操作责任或权力。因此,他们不会实施内部控制,制定程序,安装系统,准备记录或从事可能损害内部审计师判断的任何其他活动。内部审计师可以提供保证服务,如果咨询的性质不会损害客观性,并在将资源分配给参与度时会受到个人客观性的管理,则可以提供保证服务。

Internal auditors will exhibit the highest level of professional objectivity in gathering, evaluating, and communicating information about the activity or process being examined. Internal auditors will make a balanced assessment of all the relevant circumstances and not be unduly influenced by their own interests or by others in forming judgments.

CAE将至少每年向UT系统CAE确认内部审计活动及其工作人员的组织独立性。UT系统CAE将其报告给ACMRC。
