The Office of Institutional Compliance & Internal Audit reviews and audits University operations to identify opportunities to help DU improve operations and reduce risk, ultimately to increase the chances of meeting strategic goals.

Our office also provides DU employees information about how to comply with relevant rules and regulatory requirements, and where to report suspicious or improper activity that may violate University policies.

Audits

ICIA selects areas of focus based on an organization-wide risk assessment designed to enable us to devote our resources to those areas that may be most meaningful to assess.  In those areas, we endeavor to provide an objective opinion as to whether procedures in place reasonably achieve the goals of key processes.

Compliance

ICIA reviews and assesses the adequacy of compliance activities throughout DU.  We help departments protect the University by verifying that compliance programs are appropriate to the requirements and the level of risk and that such programs have been implemented. We provide compliance advisory services to management and serve as a resource by providing information and guidance in the design of compliance programs.
