FROM THE HEAD OF INTERNAL AUDIT DIVISION

Welcome to the website of the Internal Audit Division of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

 

This website has been developed to provide information on the roles and functions of the Internal Audit Division, as well as to share useful information related to auditing and the University’s internal control system.

 

The Internal Audit Division of UPM operates independently and objectively, with administrative accountability to the Vice-Chancellor and direct reporting to the UPM Audit Committee, a committee under the University Board of Directors. The Division plays a key role in strengthening the University’s ability to create, enhance, and sustain value through the provision of assurance, advisory services, and strategic insights (insight and foresight) based on a risk-based approach. These efforts aim to enhance the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control processes within the University.

 

In line with this role, Internal Audit conducts analyses and evaluations, provides recommendations for improvement, undertakes advisory and consulting activities, and delivers relevant information to management at both the University Management level and the Responsibility Centre level. These initiatives support management in carrying out their responsibilities effectively and efficiently, while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and good governance practices.

 

The Internal Audit Division of UPM is a corporate member of the Institute of Internal Auditors Malaysia (IIAM) and is currently progressing towards conducting audits in accordance with the Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS).

 

In addition to audit and control assessment activities, the Internal Audit Division is also ready to provide advisory services and guidance on specific regulations or procedures, particularly those related to governance and internal control.

 

We hope this website will serve as a useful reference and help address your inquiries regarding the roles and functions of the Internal Audit Division.

Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback.
