Subject: Report of Quality Assurance Review for Internal
Audit Department
Dear Mr. Pederson:
At your request, we have conducted a quality assurance
review of the work of your internal audit department. We reviewed for compliance with The Institute of Internal
Auditors’ Standard for the Professional Practice
of Internal Auditing and based our review on the Association of College and
University Auditor’s Quality Assurance
Review Handbook.
The review was performed by persons independent of your internal audit
department and covered audit work performed during the period of August 1, 1996
through October 31, 1997. The scope of
the review was restricted to reviewing selected documents, conducting a survey,
reviewing the work papers of a sample of audit projects and interviewing key
personnel.
Based on the scope of our review, we determined that,
overall, the work of the internal audit department did comply with IIA Standards during the period under
review. Additional information is
provided in the attached report. We have included in the report several recommendations
we believe will further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your
internal audit function.
We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided to us throughout
the course of our review. All
individuals interviewed offered candid and constructive comments. Please let us know if you would like us to
review with you further details pertaining to any of the information in the
attached report.
Sincerely,
Glen C. Mueller, C.
