It is with great pleasure and a deep sense of responsibility that I extend a warm welcome to all members of the University community, management staff, stakeholders, and esteemed visitors to the Directorate of Internal Audit.

As the Director of Internal Audit, I am honoured to welcome you to this critical oversight and assurance arm of the University, established to promote accountability, transparency, risk management, and sound financial and operational governance across all units of the institution.

The Directorate of Internal Audit plays a fundamental role in strengthening internal control systems by independently reviewing financial transactions, operational processes, and compliance with established policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements. Through systematic audits, monitoring, and advisory services, the Directorate ensures that University resources are efficiently utilized and properly safeguarded.

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of professional integrity, objectivity, and independence in the discharge of our duties. Our work is guided by internationally accepted auditing standards and best practices aimed at enhancing institutional efficiency and preventing mismanagement or wastage of resources.

In addition to assurance services, the Directorate provides advisory support to management on risk management, internal controls, and process improvements. This contributes to continuous institutional improvement and supports informed decision-making across the University.

As you engage with the Directorate of Internal Audit, we encourage cooperation, timely provision of information, and adherence to audit requirements across all departments and units. We remain committed to supporting a culture of accountability, transparency, and value for money in all University operations.

Thank you for visiting the Directorate of Internal Audit. We look forward to working with you in strengthening institutional governance and promoting operational excellence.
