Office of Internal Audit

Internal Audit Department

Delta State University’s Office of Internal Audit (OIA) is an independent, objective assurance, and consulting service designed to add value and improve the university’s operations with integrity, accountability, and positive change to further the university’s mission. Internal Audit helps Delta State accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, internal controls, and governance processes.

The Office of Internal Audit makes recommendations to where control improvements are needed. Internal Audit will administer reasonable assurance that internal control processes are operating effectively. Internal Audit also provides management with information, appraisals, recommendations, and guidance regarding the activities examined and other significant issues.

DSU’s Office of Internal Audit reports administratively to the President and functionally to the Mississippi State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL)  to the Budget, Finance and Audit Committee and ultimately the Board of Trustees through the Board’s system Chief Audit Executive. Operations are conducted in accordance with IHL’s Internal Audit policies and procedures.
