3 We are pleased to provide you with the proposed Internal Audit and Advisory Services (IAAS) Plan in accordance with University policies and procedures. The IAAS team is committed and dedicated to the mission of the Delaware State University (University). We are interested in creating innovative internal audit methodologies to enhance and strengthen controls. IAAS is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve University operations. It assists the University to accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic but disciplined approach to evaluate risk and improve the effectiveness of control and governance processes. The purpose of the IAAS is to provide the Board of Trustees with an independent appraisal of the adequacy and the effectiveness of the University's system of internal administrative and accounting controls and the quality of performance when compared with established standards. The primary objective is to assist the Board of Trustees and the University management in the effective discharge of their responsibilities. As per Charter of the IAAS, it prepares an audit and advisory services plan based on a risk assessment which encompasses various components of the University and then present the plan to the Audit Committee to ensure coordination efforts are identified and sufficient resources are available. A risk/ fraud assessment survey was conducted wherein input was received from the senior management of University. Meetings were also scheduled with key management personnel Page 1
4 throughout the University to identify sensitive or high exposure areas and to identify high risk functions and compliance that are hot topics in the higher education industry and should be scheduled for review. The results of risk assessment survey/ outcome of meetings with senior management personnel are used to develop an audit plan to minimize the risk of losses to the University, to prioritize audits and to use our audit staff and time in an effective and efficient manner. In a nut shell, the IAAS plan depicts that it is providing the necessary oversight over the quality and integrity of the internal control, management practices and the direction of the IAAS function. The ongoing support of the Audit Committee along with rest of the Board of Trustees is greatly appreciated. We hope you will find the results of our efforts useful and informative. Zafar Chaudhry Associate Vice President Internal Audit and Advisory Services Dr. Teresa Hardee SVP and Chief Operating Officer Page 2
5 The Internal Audit and Advisory Services plan is provided for the information and consideration of Audit Committee/ Board of Trustees, the President s cabinet, management, and other constituents of the University. The plan is a living document requiring continual monitoring and revisions as conditions warrant. The plan is established by IAAS as a result of assessment of various criteria including: Existing control environment Regulatory climate Management concerns/issues Stakeholder concerns Business and industry challenges The plan is intended to support the mission of the University and to articulate the broad framework, direction, and priorities of the IAAS function. The plan is designed to address relevant risks that may negatively impact University operations and/or performance. Our approach is responsive to the many changes affecting the University. As is common in higher education, there are far more potential audits and other activity identified than can be conducted given the resources available. The plan identifies the proposed audit activity from July 2015 through June It provides flexibility to conduct audits as requested during the year in addition to the annually required audits as well as advisory services. Each year there may be some carry-over of prior year projects. Discussion of the plan with you helps the IAAS to understand your concerns so that we agree on mutual needs and expectations to provide the highest level of service quality. Page 3
6 IAAS coordinates with the University external auditors to ensure there is no duplication of efforts and to share ideas on high risk areas and planned audit approaches and coverage. In addition, University divisions may find it useful to have Audit and Advisory Services act as a liaison between any external audit groups. IAAS will perform some financial investigation services that may include looking in to suspected financial irregularities whether reported by whistleblowers, uncovered in the course of regular audits, or based upon concerns conveyed by management. When investigating suspected or alleged misuse of DSU resources, IAAS objectives are to verify the facts, provide an objective and confidential review, and recommend corrective actions to help ensure similar actions do not occur in the future. Advisory services are reviews designed to improve an organization s governance, risk management, and control processes without the internal auditor assuming management responsibility. Advisory services are available to respond to requests from management for services that are more advisory in nature than traditional audits. These types of advisory services can include items such as consultations, special projects, internal control and accountability reviews, and systems development and reengineering projects. The IAAS may provide the following management advisory services: Consulting Provided in response to a request from management and designed to provide expertise in the resolution of internal control issues. It includes answering questions, developing solutions to problems, recommending courses of action and/or formulating an opinion. Control and Risk Assessment Training Practical training in risk management processes that can be used to ensure cost effective systems are in place that support the achievement of University objectives. It helps University divisions to improve their operations through an enhanced understanding of the business value of internal control and business ethics. Training sessions may be conducted by IAAS or by the University divisions with IAAS support. Page 4
7 Fraud Awareness Training Introductory training to increase awareness of "red flags" of fraud, management's responsibilities and cost-effective control systems to reduce the likelihood of fraud. This offering is tailored to reflect areas of risk in each division. Business Process Improvement Identify and minimize control deficiencies in processes, and assist departments in making process changes that result in strengthened internal controls and optimal performance. Self-Assessment Tool Client-based, self-assessment tools to assess the effectiveness of critical control processes. IAAS provides ongoing support to assist in the analysis of control issues and development of action plans. Special Projects IAAS provides review and advisory services as requested by the senior leadership of the University. Coordinating with External Auditors The IAAS performs liaison functions for all external auditors working on campus. It coordinates with external auditors and University divisions/ departments to ensure that the external auditors receive all required assistance and information. Page 5
