Internal Audit

Internal Audit evaluates Nashville State Community College’s efficiency and effectiveness by conducting audits in accordance with Tennessee Board of Regents policy and guidelines along with state and federal guidelines. Internal Audit contributes to ensuring the proper management and reporting of funds, and the safeguarding of institutional resources.

Mission

The mission of internal auditing is to review the reliability and integrity of information, compliance with policies and regulations, and the processes for the safeguarding of assets, as well as to make suggestions for improvements in operating efficiencies and internal controls. 

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. 

The Office of Internal Audit reports directly to the President of Nashville State Community College and to the Audit Committee of the Tennessee Board of Regents through the Director of System-wide Internal Auditing. This organizational structure maintains the department’s independence and promotes broad audit coverage.
