The audit process can be intimidating to those inexperienced with it, especially when an auditor shows up unexpectedly: How should you respond? Do you have to respond? What if the auditor presents an inspector general’s badge? In this program we will discuss the audit process and the differences between audits, reviews, inspections and investigations. We will also look at how auditors approach an audit, and the various institutional roles including that of the institutional audit and compliance officer, the central research administrator, and the departmental research administrator.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to describe the differences between the various types of audit, review and inspection;
- Participants will be able to discuss the audit process and how an auditor approaches an audit;
- Participants will be able to explain the roles and responsibilities of both the agency and institutional players in an audit.
