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,
Peer
Review Team Leader
